Joyce Carter, Psy.D., LPC, LCMHC, LPCC

Therapist Joyce Carter, a Virginia native, holds a BA in therapeutic dance from VCU, a master’s in counseling, and a Doctorate in Psychology, focused on the topic of career burnout which is especially common with helping professionals and in healthcare. Joyce believes that one’s thoughts, feelings and circumstances do not define who we are and while we can’t always control our outside world, we can control our internal world and seek to live our best lives. She helps people understand and tap into the power we each possess to recreate ourselves and learn our true self-worth. Having worked in both in-patient and outpatient settings and school settings, Joyce has helped people in a range of ages from children up through older adults for over 20 years. She has experience in an array of areas including significant anxiety, depression, trauma and much more. With her expertise, she has also provided numerous professional trainings and worked as a clinical supervisor for other counseling professionals.
