Susan Joyner

My communication style

I do my best to create an open and honest, nonjudgmental environment. I communicate compassionately and with curiosity. My aim is to encourage, empower, and collaborate with you. I aim to use invitational language, avoid coercion, and encourage curiosity.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this path with a desire to help folx feel seen and heard. I want people to know that they matter and are worthy of the joys in life and worthy of support when things feel hard. Through this work, I have hope and am grateful to witness the resiliency, kindness, and joy humanity has to offer.

My goals for you

You and I will work together to identify what YOU want from treatment and how I can support you in meeting those goals. As you grow and we move through treatment together, these goals have space to ebb and flow as needed.

Our first session

The purpose of our first session is to get to know each other better and make sure we're a good fit. I will share some logistical and informed consent pieces up front and then open the floor to learn more about why you are here. You'll be invited to ask me any questions or share concerns as well.

I identify as...

• Non-binary
• Caucasian or White
