Joy Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings a multicultural perspective to her work that goes beyond technique.

Shaped by her own diverse cultural background, Joy has a deep appreciation for how identity, family systems, and community shape the way we experience the world and navigate our mental health. With specialized expertise in anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, she creates a warm, identity-affirming therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely seen as whole people. Joy is especially passionate about working with adolescents and young adults struggling with depression and anxiety, meeting them where they are and helping them build the skills and self-understanding to move forward.

Her therapeutic approach is integrative and tailored to each client's unique needs. Joy draws from research-backed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift the way clients think about and respond to challenges, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance, EMDR and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to process trauma, Family Systems Therapy to strengthen relationships and family dynamics, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients move toward a life that feels meaningful.

Joy works with middle schoolers through mid-life adults, supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relational challenges, behavioral struggles, and more. She is available for in-person and telehealth sessions, allowing her to meet clients in the format that fits their lives best.

Outside the therapy room, Joy carries the same belief into every part of her life that grounds her clinical work: that healing happens in relationship. Her commitment to creating a space where clients feel truly seen, not just as the problems they come to therapy for, reflects a deeper conviction that lasting change grows from connection.

  • Joy's multicultural perspective gives her a uniquely layered understanding of how identity, family systems, and community shape mental health, allowing her to offer care that honors each client's full context.

  • Her training across CBT, DBT, EMDR, TF-CBT, Family Systems Therapy, and ACT gives her a flexible, evidence-based toolkit she tailors to each client's specific needs and goals.

  • Joy's belief that healing happens in relationship shapes every session, creating a space where clients can build resilience, self-understanding, and lasting change without losing sight of who they are.

"Healing happens in a relationship. I want my clients to feel genuinely seen, not just as the challenges that brought them to therapy, but as whole people, and to know I'll walk alongside them as they build resilience and move toward lasting change."
