Therapy that feels personal, because it is.

As a dedicated therapist, I bring a compassionate, culturally aware, and inclusive approach to my work with clients and their families. Drawing from extensive training in EMDR, DBT, CBT, TF-CBT, Therapeutic Play, Expressive Arts, Adlerian Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy, I tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of every person I work with.

My holistic and humanistic philosophy centers on the belief that healing begins within a safe and nurturing environment. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, understanding that connection is the foundation for meaningful growth and emotional healing. By honoring each person's lived experience, I provide personalized care that supports resilience, emotional regulation, and self-discovery.

Whether through EMDR, DBT, creative expression, or other evidence-based interventions, my goal is to create a space where each person feels seen, heard, and empowered. I am deeply committed to walking alongside each person on their journey toward healing, using curiosity, empathy, and respect as guiding tools throughout our work together.

Dr. Joyce Carter is a therapist specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and more, who empowers clients to harness their inner strengths, redefine self-worth, and create fulfilling lives. Joyce believes that one's thoughts, feelings, and circumstances do not define who we are, and while we can't always control our outside world, we can control our internal world and seek to live our best lives. She helps people understand and tap into the power we each possess to recreate ourselves and learn our true self-worth.

Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and school settings, Joyce has helped people in a range of ages, from children up to older adults, for over 20 years. She has experience in an array of areas, including significant anxiety, depression, trauma, and much more. With her expertise, she has also provided numerous professional training courses and worked as a clinical supervisor for other counseling professionals.

In her free time Joyce loves running, beach activities, and spending time with her family.
