Joy Hetzler

Feeling anxious, frustrated, stuck, or overwhelmed with your life? Struggling with a life transition? Wishing something was different in your relationships? I can help you figure out the next steps, deepen your understanding of your thoughts and feelings, be a support with making changes and decisions to live the life you desire while successfully managing the ups and downs that are a part of the journey. Using compassionate understanding, we'll create a safe place for you to share your wishes, concerns, thoughts, and feelings to take the risk to move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters of Social Work with a Trauma Certificate. Starting with a strengths-based focus, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches (cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution focused therapy, and mindfulness) to work with you to increase your understanding and skills to manage emotions, thoughts, perspectives, and responses to …be empowered to embrace life, including managing anxiety, stress, changes, and other challenging situations. I integrate understanding the connections between our body and brain to increase success in utilizing positive strategies to successfully manage life.

Please send me a Sondermind message to connect for a free 15 minute phone conversation to discuss your therapy thoughts, questions, and next steps, or message me to schedule an initial session. As I am reminded by the Emerson quote, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. ", we have the power not only to manage life challenges but to thrive. I look forward to meeting you and discussing ways we can work together to help you with this journey.
