With a focus on children and families, I have experience working with trauma, domestic violence, as well as, family and school-related issues.
We all seek to achieve a balanced life, but little do we often pour into ourselves. The few times we do cater to ourselves, the biggest piece of us goes untouched. Mental health is a big part of our identity and self-care that deserves a little more TLC. My name is Joy Wall, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate and an alum of Winston-Salem and North Carolina State University.

I have a special interest in working with children and adults with emotional issues such as anxiety, attachment, trauma, and adjustment issues.
People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in an increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationships with others.

And with children, ages eight and up I work with challenges such as behavior and emotion regulation, organization, and communication using play therapy and other science-based modalities that are apprpotiate for children.
If you find yourself feeling low and unmotivated to accomplish tasks, feel out of control because your emotions or thoughts are intense, or maybe you feel like there needs to be a change in your lifestyle, this could be a launch point for getting into therapy. As a therapist I hope to create a safe and welcoming environment for people to feel comfortable sharing their life experiences with me at their own pace. There are also times in which life circumstances may be overwhelming, or certain trauma triggers are continuing to be an issue, we can work on how to manage the difficult emotions in order to function in any environment.

Clients often seek therapy when they or their children are experiencing distress and/or want to better understand themselves and their relationships with others and their environment. I view each client as unique and seek to gain an in-depth understanding of their life and experiences and how they impact current difficulties. Using an integrated approach to therapy and intervention, I believe in the role of a strong therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to understand concerns, identify goals, and develop skills and knowledge leading to more adaptive functioning and improved quality of life.

Rumi wrote, “Don’t turn away. Keep your gaze on the bandaged place. That’s where the light enters you.” We spend a lot of time running from our pain, trying to drown it out or stuff it down with distractions--work, relationships, media, alcohol. When we stop running, stop hiding, we are able to face our pain head on. Only then, are we able to be fully present and aware, which is the first step to acceptance and later, transformation. Partnering with a therapist can make this feel less daunting. I can teach you skills to manage your emotions so that they won’t overwhelm you. Together, we can help you find where the light enters you.
