About

Joyce Nyirenda is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, motivation and confidence concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, anger management, ADHD, and life transitions, and she also offers coaching.

Joyce approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, holding the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings resources that can help them overcome what feels overwhelming. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and aims to support and empower clients as they take steps toward change.

Joyce includes a spiritual dimension in her work when clients desire it, incorporating a Bible-based Christian approach alongside psychological methods. She also earned a doctorate in Behavioral Health (DBH) on May 6, 2024. That advanced training deepened her understanding of how medical and behavioral - including mental health and substance use - conditions affect overall well-being, and she intends to use that knowledge intentionally in her clinical practice.
