Joy Martin, MA, LPC, BCN, NCC
When survival becomes the focus of our childhood, we miss pertinent opportunities to develop life skills that are necessary for meaningful relationships and our own personal well-being. Joy considers counseling as an amazing opportunity to rediscover and learn new life skills so that we can embark on a journey of wellness and leave dysfunctional coping behind.
Joy is a National Certified Counselor. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a special focus in Addiction and Recovery from Liberty University, a Master of Arts degree in CACREP Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University, and a Certificate of Graduate Studies in Trauma Counseling, also from Regent University. She is certified in EMDR and is Board Certified in Neurofeedback.
Joy practices with a psychodynamic approach; she conducts Neurofeedback in conjunction with EMDR, Transgenerational Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Psychoeducation. These therapeutic interventions can help clients gain clarity and understanding of the family system they developed in, as well as understand the origin and roots of dysfunction and maladaptive coping.
Joy is passionate about Neurofeedback for clients who experienced trauma in childhood and in adulthood. Research has shown that Neurofeedback can calm the brain and body, which enhances therapeutic interventions and facilitates healing and growth. Joy strongly believes, however, that a willingness to change, a commitment to get and be well, along with active involvement and cooperation are crucial components in a client's therapeutic process and counseling goals.
Joy's areas of competence include: Assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction (behavioral and substance abuse); comorbidity, individual counseling, couple’s counseling, and family systems. Specialty areas include, PTSD, Complex PTSD, developmental trauma, attachment disorders in relation to sexual violence in childhood and adulthood, military sexual trauma (MST), and assessment and diagnostic reporting for academic accommodations in grade school, high school, and college,
