Joanne Whitworth

Joanne Whitworth, a Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, NCC, LPC, understands that life can often feel overwhelming. Individuals may face struggles such as relationship issues, life transitions, or the trauma from accidents or abuse. In these moments, confiding in friends or family might not suffice. Seeking guidance from someone like Joanne, who listens with empathy and provides a confidential setting, can truly make a difference. She emphasizes the importance of a therapeutic relationship grounded in trust and respect, which creates a safe environment for clients to take essential risks for personal change. Joanne excels in helping clients recognize their internal strengths and positive attributes, enabling them to envision greater possibilities for their lives. She acknowledges that traumatic experiences may not always be processed effectively, leaving painful thoughts and feelings locked in time, which can lead to intrusive and self-defeating behaviors. With her specialized training in well-researched, efficient treatments like EMDR, she assists clients in reprocessing memories and negative thoughts to alleviate emotional suffering. By combining talk therapy with EMDR, Joanne fosters the discovery of inner resources that empower individuals to tackle life's challenges and embrace more joy.
