Written on Dec 07, 2023 after therapy with Joyce for 1 month on issues concerning self esteem
Joyce is great! I have been to the "best" academic folks, so I feel I have some familiarity with therapy. Joyce ended up being the person I needed to talk with, to move forward to fix myself and my life. She has been practical, comforting, and intelligent. I think she is head and shoulders above any saucy PHD therapist or the like you might find. She is excellent in ways nobody can teach.

I feel I picked the perfect person for me. We aer close in age and I wanted someone with similar life experience as I grow older. Joyce is an excellent listener, responds to my comments and concerns, never cuts me off, I can laugh and cry with her comfortably. I have had lots of helpful therapy over my life time and Joyce in an excellent therapist.
