About Joanna
I am a PLPC (Under the supervision of Jenna Wood, MO 2016040359) who didn’t start out in mental health, but after having an amazing experience with a therapist for my own life stressors, I was hooked and went back to school to get a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I now enjoy working with individuals to help heal wounds of trauma or life stressors. I use many different approaches to meet the unique needs of people I help.

For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
It is easy to feel like by going to therapy you are admitting something is wrong. That is not the case, it is a 1 hour that is devoted to you and your self care. It allows us to be able to process stressors, work on trauma or just be heard.
How do you work with clients with addiction?
I spent over a year working with substance use clients, I work to share my knowledge to educated the clients on the mental health condition that is affecting them. I encourage clients to build a support network that is conducive to sobriety. We also begin the work of process feelings vs. numbing those feelings with alcohol/drugs/or negative behaviors that begin to control our lives.
How can you provide care remotely?
I utilize HIPAA compliant Telehealth software to meet clients in the privacy of their own home. I am working from my own office to still provide a professional experience to each of my clients.
