Chronic Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Burnout. These aren't just words for me. They're experiences I've lived through. Now, I am dedicated to supporting others as they navigate these same challenges and emerge stronger. Recognizing that healing is multifaceted, I believe in whole-person health optimization by choosing integrative medicine as an opportunity heal — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing from my own experiences of overcoming stagnation, I support others to reclaim their light & zeal for life — allowing you to return to a place of wholeness.

Welcome! I’m Joy Smith, a dedicated Addictions Counselor and Supervisor with extensive experience in behavioral health. My professional journey has been driven by a passion for helping individuals overcome addiction and achieve lasting recovery. I believe in a holistic approach to treatment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. At AVWC our goal is to provide a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel empowered to make positive changes.

We specialize in psychotropic medication management and psychotherapy for depression, ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders and other mental health concerns. We provide both in-office and telemedicine appointments and we are by appointment only. Please visit us at www.lynxsurewellness.com or give us a call to request an appointment. We accept insurance and offer our LynxSure Wellness Concierge monthly membership service for those without commercial insurance.

I am very passionate about providing clients the ability to speak their truth in a non-judgemental environment. Many times in life, a person's concerns are unheard, not valued, or not addressed which can cause frustration, distress, unhappiness, and hopelessness. What I hope to offer you is, not only a listening ear, but also someone to collaborate with you on your journey to wellness and happiness, whatever that looks like for you. I encourage clients to help me help them find the light at the end of the tunnel and see the rainbow after the rain.

Life experiences and issues we encounter can sometimes be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. We find it difficult because we don't have the right skills or tools to utilize. This is where i come in. I am dedicated to helping you navigate through various life issues and passionate about helping you attain the healing you are looking for. My goal also as a therapist is to create a safe place where you feel heard and understood. Change is a process but the result that comes with it is rewarding. I am committed to help you seek that change.

I specialize in helping individuals who are facing complex situations to build resilience. I empower them to pursue their life goals, and to navigate adverse life events such as the death of a loved one, or having lost a job, a home or a relationship. You can change the course of your life and I am here to support you. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I am providing telehealth services to clients. I am here to support you and your family during this difficult time.

If you are suffering with depression, looking to learn how to manage your anxiety, or seeking greater satisfaction in your relationship with others; I can help. Perhaps you are trying to adjust to a major life transition such as the death of a loved one, or a divorce. Or, maybe you are in a dating relationship or marriage that is not as satisfying as it once was. Deepening your understanding of old, unhelpful patterns that are causing you to be depressed, anxious, or just plain dissatisfied with your life, is a good place to start. With new, more helpful ways of understanding yourself, comes the freedom to make different choices.

**NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS ON GrowTherapy & ALMA.** I feel life is a journey & not a destination. You are 1 STEP closer to a new you where you feel EMPOWERED and on a POSITIVE path to growth and well-being. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating & balanced. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying various approaches & techniques, we'll explore long-standing patterns & "stinking thinking" that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling & meaningful life.

We commend you for making the brave decision to begin therapy! There are times in our lives when we feel depressed, stressed, overwhelmed or angry but have no one to turn to. Our goal is to offer you a nonjudgmental, safe and confidential space to process your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

You need to talk to someone. You're in a stressful place in your life. Not only is your desire for clarity and comfort at its peak but your need to find the right therapist is a leap of faith. Seeing me, you may find our sessions to be empowering, challenging, yet comfortable, and at times humorous. You can become energized by the unfolding of your story, and gaining new insights into your thoughts and feelings that no longer work for you. Are you having difficulties adjusting to life with a mental health disorder or struggling to make sense of a traumatic experience?

Your life has been completely shattered. You want to begin to pick up the pieces of your life but have no idea where to start. You cannot believe that someone you love, someone you trust, some you give your all to would cause you so much pain. You continue to play over and over again different scenarios of where the relationship went wrong. You start thinking about how stupid you were for all the things you did to keep the relationship. I hate to admit it, but I am glad to say, I understand you. Relationships, especially ones that are meaningful to you, will leave you crushed. Especially when trust has been broken.
