Joy Nnadi

Joy is a doctor of psychology (PsyD) candidate at the University of Prince Edward Island, having recently completed her pre-doctoral internship. With an integrative and trauma-informed approach, Joy provides therapy for children, adolescents and adults with different mental health concerns including anxiety and depression, behavioural challenges, tensions with identity, low self-esteem, race-related and trauma-related difficulties.

Joy’s therapeutic approach draws from attachment theory, humanistic approaches and
cognitive-behavioral techniques. She believes that her role as a therapist is to provide the space and resources for clients to connect with themselves by helping them recognize patterns of thoughts and behaviours that no longer serve them. Through genuine warmth, connection and unconditional positive regard, Joy supports clients in developing the skills to meet their personal goals.

Joy offers virtual and in-person services in English, under the supervision of Dr. Julia Ryan. Joy also has experience with psychometry and psychoeducational assessments.
