About Joy
Hi, my name is Joy MacKey and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist. As a retired high school teacher, with 29 years of experience and specialized training in therapeutic approaches, I bring both professional expertise and a deep understanding of life's challenges to my work with clients.
Â
I am passionate about helping individuals rewrite their stories, uncover their inner strengths, and move toward meaningful change. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Taking the First Step
Beginning therapy can feel uncertain, overwhelming, or even scary, but it doesn't have to.
​
I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important foundations for healing and growth. Together, we will build a connection based on trust, compassion, and collaboration.Â
My Approach
I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of evidence-based modalities to meet your unique needs and goals.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor therapy to support what matters most to you.
Together, we can:
-
Explore challenges with curiosity and compassion
-
Build on your strengths
-
Develop practical tools and strategies
-
Foster greater self-awareness and resilience
-
Create meaningful and lasting change
Why Rising? Â
Rising symbolizes resilience, personal growth, hope, optimism, and empowerment. For me it means every part of your narrative belongs here. Rising is not only my business, but it is my promise to support you, to discover your own resilience, foster personal growth, and inspire you to feel empowered.
