The Joy of You
Hypnotherapist, CCHt, NWP, EP, B.Msc
Hello, my name is Joy, and I am a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. My area of expertise is helping individuals harness the power of their subconscious mind to create positive change.
Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that involves hypnosis, which is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility. This type of therapy can address a variety of issues, including stress management, overcoming fears and phobias, improving sleep quality, and boosting self-confidence.
During our sessions, we will work together to identify your goals and create a personalized treatment plan. You will be guided into a relaxed state where you can access and influence your subconscious mind. It's important to note that you will always be in control during the process.
It's essential to understand that hypnotherapy is not about making you do things you don't want to do. Instead, it's about empowering you to make the changes you desire.
I look forward to working with you on your journey towards self-improvement.

Karen Erikson, PhD, Durham DBT, Inc.
Psychologist, PhD
I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist (CBT), and I have expertise in the use of mindfulness-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the treatment of trauma. DBT is a form of CBT that focuses on teaching clients to better regulate their emotions. Our clients often talk about feeling like their emotions "run the show." Our treatment goals are often about helping clients to feel that they can control their emotions, rather than their emotions controlling them.
I see a wide variety of clients in my practice, including individuals struggling with symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), depression, and anxiety disorders. I also work with survivors of trauma, including physical and sexual abuse and assault. I believe that effective treatment begins with a collaborative relationship with my clients.
I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Nevada, and joined Durham DBT after completing my clinical internship at Duke University Medical Center. I am also credentialed through PSYPACT, which allows me to provide virtual services in participating states. I have extensive training in evidenced-based therapy and in clinical research.

Haley Busch
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My life’s work is helping clients slow down and truly be with themselves long enough to understand who they are, what they need, and how they want to move forward. It's an honor to walk alongside professionals and parents navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, including attachment-related patterns. I also specialize in perinatal mental health: pregnancy-related and postpartum anxiety and depression, infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy after loss. I'm especially well-matched for high-achieving adults who sense there's something deeper going on and feel ready to dig in.

Joanne A. Petursson
Psychologist, PsyD
Ready to make a change in your life, but not sure where or how to start? Let’s take that first step together. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience working with adults who are ready to make meaningful change—but need support getting started. Whether you’re struggling with substance use, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, or just feeling stuck, you don’t have to face it alone. I use proven approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based strategies. I offer ADHD evaluations for adults, with tailored treatment recommendations based on the client's unique needs. I enjoy working with Veterans and college students, I have an extensive background working with substance use issues, and I am certified in CBT for chronic pain.
I focus on creating a supportive, non-judgmental space for adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues. My goal is to help clients explore what’s holding them back and build practical strategies to move forward. Additionally, I endeavor to help my clients feel more grounded, clear, and empowered.
I accept Highmark, Optum, Aetna, and UPMC commercial insurance and I am happy to help with reimbursement for out-of-network clients. Clients are encouraged to contact their insurance company to verify that I am in-network if they would like to use insurance benefits, especially if located outside of Pennsylvania.
