Our Mission

Joan Kerley Counseling is dedicated to helping others recognize their strengths and encouraging them to use those strengths to become healthier and happier and to improve their relationships.

Our Style

Our counseling style is based on establishing a relationship of unconditional acceptance and support so that each client can comfortably and confidently pursue a positive journey of self-discovery.

Counseling sessions might include person-centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and other appropriate counseling theories and techniques based on individual needs.

Sessions are available via TeleMental Health venues such as HIPAA-Compliant video or on some occasions by phone.
