Jo Ann Formby

My communication style

My approach is relational and practical. It is my hope that you will feel safe, empowered, and hopeful as we get to know one another and as we discover what is helpful and empowering for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love doing therapy because it brings me joy to see people heal and grow. I consider it a privilege to be trusted to be part of that process in someone's life. Life has plenty of challenges, especially in our complex and complicated world. But there is also hope to be found in opening up to new understanding and new possibilities.

My goals for you

I strive to meet you where you are and facilitate the goals you desire. My approach helps clients explore and formulate what they want and need. Through our work together, I hope you gain self-awareness, confidence, clarity, and a sense of choice and empowerment in life and relationships.

Our first session

Our first session is a time for us to become acquainted. A goal is to understand if we are a good match for working together. My role is to assess your concerns and difficulties, learn about your background, and understand what you want from therapy.
