This is my first time doing therapy Ms. Banks has been very supportive and patient with me trying to understand myself and how I think. She offers many ways for figuring thinks out on why I may act or think. Its a very laidback and welcoming atmosphere. Thanks to her I’ve been able to identify why I’ve acted and think the way I do and how to react in a healthier manner mentally.

Joy is a gifted therapist - she has amazing insight and intuition, is knowledgeable and wise, gentle and empathetic. I felt seen and understood in our first session. She has a good sense of humor, is professional, and knows the Bible well. I am so thankful she was matched as my therapist.

Joy has been the best therapist I’ve had so far. She not only listens and gives me the right tools to use but she also makes me feel so comfortable. On my hardest days, after therapy ends I have a smile on my face and I have laughed. I am learning so much and am able to apply what she shares with me. She’s very genuine, caring, and helpful. Very happy I found her.

She has been great so far! Very easy to talk to! I have only had a few sessions and feel like she’s helping already!

I have only just begun with Joy Banks but so far any time I have sent a message she replies almost right away. She hears what I have to say and you can tell she truly cares for helping each individual person in any way she possibly can. I truly look forward to talking to her each and every week. She has been a true blessing and not a moment too soon and my life was every which way upside down and inside out that you could ever imagine. I am really looking forward to any classes or assignments she gives me and I have even taken it upon myself to write everything down from beginning to end for her to read and know where in my life and certain parts that need attention the most. J have always been scared to go into an office or building to talk with someone even though I knew all along it was needed but when your main experience with these type of people was as a child you watch them take your mom back and then few hours later your told you have to leave her there and that she don't get to go home with us it makes you look at these people in a very bad way when they aren't, they are truly just trying to help you the best way they can. So now that it is online this is perfect for me and I look forward to our weekly talks. She has brought confidence and self esteem back into me and my life when it was gone for too many years so I recommend Joy Banks to the world!! She is truly amazing.

After two sessions I can say that I would strongly recommend Joy as a therapist. I have found our sessions to be very comfortable and helpful. She understands where I am coming from and I do not have to explain myself to Joy. She just gets it!
