Counseling with Joanie

YOU are at the forefront of all I do! The fact that you are reading this says amazing things about the wholeness and excellence you possess. Life should be deeply satisfying and fulfilling. At some point, everyone has found themselves at a place they did not intend to be. Therapy is the GIFT that enables you to tap into your inner resources. We start by reconnecting with your authentic self – where your inner values, intentions, and dreams are aligned, and then move towards your desired life.

For two decades, I have immersed myself in the education, training, and experience of working with people like you. My passion is to help you maximize your potential! The therapeutic process determines specific personal needs by analyzing your current situation, identifying existing challenges, and creating an action plan to achieve the outcomes you desire.

I have a heart for creating genuine, trusting relationships. Together, we can create empowering meaning out of problems, discover your hidden strengths, and transform limiting beliefs. We can create a new and empowering vision of what is possible for your life. I provide a safe space to share your concerns and express yourself freely.

Testimonials

“I met Joanie when we both contributed to an anthology, and it didn’t take long for me to see just how special she is.

“What makes Joanie such a powerful therapist isn’t just her knowledge—it’s her lived experience. She brings her truth into the work in a way that makes you feel deeply seen and safe. Because she’s walked through her own fire, her compassion runs deep.

“She doesn’ just understand your journey—she honors it. And that’s what makes her presence, her guidance, and her work truly transformative.”

Wondeful Morrison
LeadHER Strategy Co
CEO & Founder

“Working with Joanie Elizabeth through E.P. House’s collaborative book project was nothing short of inspiring. Her voice is grounded in deep wisdom and authentic compassion—exactly what you’d expect from someone with two decades of experience guiding others toward healing and wholeness.

“Joanie has an extraordinary gift for helping others reconnect with their true selves. She doesn’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions—she listens deeply, meets you where you are, and walks beside you with unwavering support. Her chapter was a powerful reflection of who she is: a courageous, heart-led guide who champions every soul she serves.”

Kristin Bentley
Founder & CEO, E.P. House

“I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional counseling services provided by Joanie. As a counselor, she embodies the values of faith, compassion, and understanding, which have been instrumental in both my and my husband’s journey towards healing and personal growth.

“Joanie creates a safe and welcoming environment where we both felt comfortable sharing our thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

“Her gentle guidance has been a beacon of light, helping me navigate through my struggles with grace and resilience. She is easy to talk to and listens with intention. Joanie’s compassionate and insightful approach has made a profound difference in my life, and I am confident that others will benefit greatly from her expertise and care.”

D & SW

“I came to Joanie very broken from childhood trauma. I didn’t know where to begin or end. Joanie’s soft, kind spirit and guidance brought me out of my hopelessness. She asked the leading questions that were thought-provoking and helped me understand why I was giving so much of myself to others and not tending to my needs. Joanie guided me and heard me through this journey. She gave me coping tools to self-soothe when my darkness would flood in. I took time off because I was doing well but she welcomed me right back when I couldn’t use my tools that she had given me to cope.   I can honestly say my life and how I think about myself have changed for the better. Joanie is someone I trust to bring me along when I forget who I am.”

DW

“Working with Joanie was life-changing. I reached out to her during some of the lowest moments of my life. I was dealing with stress and depression. After working with Joanie, I learned coping tools that have helped me cope with the things I can’t control. I also found that with her help, I was able to find who I truly was, since my true self was hidden under layers of trauma and reactive feelings. Having her was incredibly healing to me and with her support, I was able to feel safe enough to finally let my true self shine. Thank you for all of your support and encouragement!”

Angeles G

“I began working with Joanie during a very challenging time. Family dynamics were taking a huge toll on my mental health. During our sessions, Joanie provided me with tools to respond to the various challenges that I was facing. She is patient, professional, sympathetic, and supportive. She asked thoughtful questions in response to what I was sharing during any given session…I feel stronger and able to not only face past and prospective challenges but also focus on the positive aspects of my life that bring me joy. Appreciate you, Joanie!”

MKG, Immigration Attorney

“I cannot say enough about how I have grown and learned on my healing journey with Joanie! She has a calm, empowering approach and provides gentle guidance that makes me “think” and use the tools and skills she taught me. Two of the most life-changing skills I am learning are envisioning what I want and processing my feelings and expectations in an empowering and supportive way. I am thrilled with my progress and what is to come.”

KD

“I wholeheartedly recommend Joanie Elizabeth for her exceptional insight, warmth, and generosity. Although I haven’t personally used her counseling services, my interactions with her during a book project have been truly inspiring.

“Joanie brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and wisdom, blending her skills as a licensed mental health counselor with her passion for coaching. Her passion and dedication to wellness, self-discovery, and empowerment is evident in everything she does, and I am confident that anyone who works with her will benefit immensely from her guidance.”
