From my very first session with Joyce, I knew that she was the right therapist for me. She listens attentively, asks clarifying questions, no judgement, and ensures that I am getting the most out of my sessions with her.

Joyce is amazing. She really helps me to communicate better and understand things from a different point of view. She allows me to speak and is completely interested in the details of what I’m speaking about. She never interjects and she responds with grace while being direct ! I love that
