Joyce Clark Reid, LCMHC

Joyce Clark Reid began her professional journey as an elementary school teacher, working directly with students to meet academic goals while observing how personal and relational struggles often undermined learning. She noticed that issues at home and at school could lead to non-compliance, anger, depression, and anxiety in children, and that these behaviors - whether associated with diagnosed conditions or not - frequently went unaddressed and hindered academic progress.

Pursuing further training in counseling allowed her to better understand these barriers and to expand her ability to support children and their parents. Over time she developed skills to work with adults and families as well, helping them navigate life challenges and pursue meaningful goals. Her approach emphasizes strengthening relationships and adapting to change in ways that promote positive outcomes.

During therapy she helps people recognize their own capacity for change, identify ways to avoid recurring problems, set and reach goals, and cultivate a more positive outlook. Having cared deeply about her students beyond their school performance, she remains committed to helping individuals feel capable, productive, and resilient in the face of long-standing difficulties. Joyce is an LCMHC - a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and considers it a privilege to assist others in this work.
