About
In the realm of mental health therapy, the journey of self-discovery is often as important as the destination. This philosophy is at the heart of Sara Joy's approach to counseling. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP), Sara Joy brings a unique blend of empathy, faith, and professional expertise to her practice.
Sara Joy's therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that the relationship between counselor and client is of paramount importance.

Her practice encompasses a wide range of services, including individual counseling for children, adolescents, and adults, as well as family and couples therapy. She specializes in addressing issues such as past trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety-related stressors, life transitions, teenage challenges, and relationship issues.
What sets Sara Joy apart is her integration of faith into her practice. She believes in the power of hope and faith through Christ as a means of growth and healing. However, her approach is not exclusive; she welcomes clients from all backgrounds, creating a non-judgmental and empathetic environment where individuals can feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings.
Sara Joy's professional qualifications include a Master's degree (MA) in addition to her LMHC and SUDP certifications. She offers her services both in-person at her Puyallup office on Saturdays and online (for Washington state residents only) from Monday through Thursday.
