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.

Merritt Leonhardt
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSCSW, CDWF, MCLC
I am drawn to raw unfiltered courage. Going to therapy a brave choice and it takes tenacity and grit to feel differently and make changes in our lives. When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own our stories, we become the author who writes the brave new ending. Together we will examine the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are holding you back identify the new choices and practices that will move you toward more authentic and wholehearted living. Rarely is that decision a whim or an impulse, and most likely you've been thinking about this for a while. Now here you are; being curious and maybe nervous and scared at the same time. In my opinion - that is bravery and brave things are rarely comfortable, but always worth trying.
Whether you are looking to make a shift in your relationships, provide help and guidance for your children, or you have reached a point in your own life where you no longer want to "figure it out alone"- you have come to a good place to get moving. It can get better.
We all struggle at times - with anxiety, depression, and stress - along with the circumstances in our lives that contribute to these feelings. The "feelings" themselves are never wrong. Where we get into trouble (and can feel stuck in them) is when we can't make sense of it all and isolation creeps in. You're not in this alone.

Springfield is Missouri's third-largest city and the hub of the Ozarks region, home to Missouri State University and several other colleges, which gives it an active student population alongside a broader community of families, retirees, and healthcare and service sector workers. The cultural landscape of southwest Missouri is predominantly evangelical and conservative, which influences how mental health is perceived in the community, though awareness and acceptance of therapy have grown considerably in recent years. CoxHealth and Mercy Hospital both operate significant behavioral health programs in Springfield, making the city an important regional resource for mental health care across the rural Ozarks. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, faith and religious identity, family and relationship issues, and the particular stresses of navigating mental health care in a region where stigma is gradually but meaningfully declining.
