JOY HARTMAN, MSW, LCSW
Do you feel sad, stressed out, overwhelmed or stuck in your day-to-day life? Do you feel disconnected from your loved ones?  Individual or family counseling can teach you to use your strengths & resources to better understand the meaning behind the attitudes and behaviors.  Trust and respect between family members and within yourself can be strengthened and rebuilt. My commitment is to create a safe place for children, adults, couples and families to seek this support.  I use a Strength-Based model of treatment combined with compassion, understanding, and a warm sense of humor.
