Joy Rumsey

We all find ourselves stuck at some point in our lives and it takes courage to ask for help moving forward. If this is where you find yourself, let’s walk through this journey together. I enjoy the process of working with those who seek change in behaviors, relationships, and management of challenging life circumstances.

Throughout therapy I will encourage the use of your strengths and your own expertise to reach the goals that you have established. We will work toward developing specific skills to utilize in order to manage unhelpful thoughts, emotions and behaviors in efforts toward improving long term emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have worked as a therapist for 13 years in hospitals, schools, and outpatient private practice settings. I have specialized training in addictions and extensive experience facilitating outpatient programs for adults struggling with mood disorders and substance abuse issues. My inpatient and outpatient employment has allowed me to work with families and individuals dealing with a wide array of issues including anxiety, depression, addiction, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief and loss, self harm behaviors and family dynamics.

I hope to work with you!
