Joy Kimmins, MA, LPCC
Therapeutic Philosophy
I help clients slow down, reflect, and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and compassion. My approach is shaped by a deep respect for the personal work meaningful change requires.
I take a whole-person perspective, connecting mental health to relationships, physical well-being, and purpose. My work blends person-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools, and for clients who desire it, I integrate conversations about faith and values.
I often work with those carrying heavy responsibility for others—caregivers, service-oriented individuals, or anyone navigating grief and life transitions—helping them build resilience, set boundaries, and invest in their own well-being.
What to Expect in Therapy
In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy and pinpoint areas that need attention. I’m here to support your growth and celebrate every step forward.
Qualifications and Experience
I hold a Master’s in Counseling (Wayland Baptist University, 2016) and have worked in hospice, volunteered in hospice care, supported women transitioning out of homelessness, and worked in a funeral home. A military veteran and former EMT, I bring a steady, compassionate presence to every session.
Personal Life
I live in Colorado Springs with my husband, three children, and two dogs. We enjoy staying active and love roasting marshmallows by the fire with some Jimmy Buffett tunes.
