Joycelin Prothro

My communication style

I believe in ensuring that my patients feel comfortable, heard, respected, and understood. I am empathic, am an excellent listener, and acknowledge patient strengths.

My journey to mental healthcare

I lost my mother at the early age of 11, and from that moment, I knew that I wanted to help people. I personally understood the emotional impact of trauma and had the desire to become educated, learn techniques to help others, and ultimately, be of service to people in need of support.

My goals for you

I utilize a client-centered approach and encourage patients to identify what they view as areas for improvement rather than acting as the 'expert' and identifying areas of opportunity for the patient. I allow patients to take the lead on identifying goals and work in collaboration with the patient to set goals that are of importance to them.

Our first session

An introductory session outlines patient expectations of therapy, functional impairments that are impacting the patient's day-to-day activities, limits of confidentiality, termination of services, and a brief overview of goal setting.
