Sara Joy, MA, LMHC, SUDP

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
(253) 387-7211 saraj@tacomachristiancounseling.com

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, it brings me great joy to be someone you can trust. I am passionate about walking beside you on your healing journey, and will listen with empathy and care for you and your family. Using various therapeutic methods tailored to suit your individual or family’s needs, I will identify effective solutions to help you overcome the challenges you face. Whether you are a child, adolescent, family, couple, or adult individual coping with past trauma, addiction, depression or anxiety-related stressors, life transitions, teenage challenges, relationship issues, or other concerns, I would be honored to work with you. Through God’s abundant love, I am here to support you. With hope and faith through Christ, you have the ability to grow and heal.
