My Story

Hello, my name is Joanna Willis. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Oakland University and my Masters in Counseling from Spring Arbor University. I’ve been in the Human Service field since 2004. During that time, I supported adolescent girls, pregnant women, single mothers and families with emotional and mental health support as well as assisting them with community resources, parenting support, safety planning, conflict resolution and more. I specialize in supporting girls ages 11-18 as well as adult women who struggle with peer, self-esteem and relationship challenges, as well as depression and anxiety. I utilize CBT, person centered approach and psycho-educational strategies to assist young women with identifying and working through whatever is causing them distress. I love assisting my clients with realizing that they’re truly unstoppable! I count it an honor to be an emotional support and cheerleader to others.

I understand that each individual has a need that is unique to them and my desire is to actively listen and provide individualized counsel in a way that is most comfortable and effective for each client.  I am a dedicated and empathic therapist and I’m passionate about supporting others as they start their journey towards hope and healing,

For this reason, my clinical approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Each individual is the expert on themselves, therefore I’m assisting you with getting the most out of your therapy sessions so that you can walk in the joy and peace that you deserve. I look forward to meeting you and joining your support network.
