Meet Joy Brady, LCSW – Therapy for Healing, Growth & Transformation

Hi, I’m Joy Brady, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s most overwhelming emotional challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Whether you’re facing trauma, addiction, identity exploration, depression, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, you deserve a safe, affirming space where your story is honored and your healing is prioritized.

I don’t believe in surface-level symptom management. Instead, I guide clients in uncovering the roots of emotional pain, building resilience, and reconnecting with their most authentic selves. Using a blend of evidence-based approaches—including EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and DBT—I offer a personalized and empowering path forward.
