Your Compassionate Guide to Personal and Relational Wholeness

Joy Conklin isn’t just a Licensed Professional Counselor – she’s a compassionate coach on a mission to help individuals and families achieve true health and wholeness. With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, Joy brings a wealth of wisdom and expertise to her work. Working as a counselor and life coach with hundreds of clients over the years has been an immense privilege, it has been her life’s work.

Joy’s journey began in West Germany, where she supported military personnel and their families as they navigated the challenges of relocation overseas. Since then, she has embarked on a diverse career path, operating her own private practice, serving in the dynamic environment of a psychiatric hospital, and providing counseling services in educational settings spanning from elementary school to university level. Throughout her career, Joy’s passion for coaching and mentoring has only continued to grow. She has a special knack for working with women, young adults, and families. More recently, she has seen an influx of clients who are parents and/or caregivers of LGBTQ+ children who are re-organizing their perceptions of faith. Joy guides all her clients through relationship issues and difficult transitions with empathy, insight, and understanding.

Whether she’s providing individual coaching, facilitating workshops, or offering mentorship, Joy’s commitment to fostering personal and relational wholeness shines through in everything she does. If you are feeling alone, confused or stuck, you’ve come to the right place.  Helping families untangle expectations, learn conflict resolution skills, find ways to bridge areas of disconnect or simply to learn more about self and move forward in setting personal goals; these are some ways Joy has helped others.  She is holistic, looking at all aspects of life: mind, body and spirit.  She is a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, the #1 assessment tool for relationship coaching, and continues to study and use the Enneagram to enhance skills she can offer others.

Those closest to Joy know her as a committed partner and wife, a born counselor, and a lover of nature.  Her core values are curiosity, generosity, compassion, and contribution.  While she enjoys walking or hiking in nature, her ideal days are spent traveling with her family. With her compassionate guidance, you can overcome obstacles, navigate life’s challenges, and embark on a journey towards greater emotional health, happiness, and fulfillment.
