Joy CookClinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW

About

I am a skilled clinician with nearly two decades of experience working with children, teens and adults. At the center of my work, is a focus on nurturing self-awareness, self-compassion and self-regulation, which I believe are gifts we all possess, regardless of age. I place a strong emphasis on meeting you where you’re at, letting therapy be a process that is on your terms. I invite you to engage in open communication by using curious inquiry and reflective listening. In doing so I offer you, and your loved ones if they’re involved, the time and space to safely explore beliefs and learned behavior that may no longer serve you. Through a combination of direct communication, compassionate connection and a bit of humor, I have a knack for relating to others with ease, and getting at the tough stuff in a kind, yet efficient manner. I am partial to the use of supportive interpersonal psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and socratic approaches, as well as CBT and behavior modification.
