The COVID 19 pandemic brought on unprecedented times. Practice Owner Joanna Melon, LPC, ACS, NCC, knew the need for accessibility to quality mental health services. So in September of 2020, founded on the mission to provide "A holistic approach to mental wellness",  Just Be Counseling, LLC opened its doors to people of all ages who were looking for support, compassion and to nurture their mental health. 

 

Joanna understands that often times people decide to enter therapy during difficult times in their life. Facing these feelings and circumstances head on can be challenging and uncomfortable. She often says that her goal is to be someone her clients are comfortable being uncomfortable around. With that sentiment in mind, Joanna created Just Be's Pillars of Care (Empowerment, Positivity, Inclusivity, and Compassion). Joanna  strives to make Just Be Counseling, LLC a warm, welcoming place that provides trauma-informed, gender inclusive care and where people feel they can be their authentic selves.
