Joyce Juma Mbonea, Counseling Intern

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Healing can begin with something as simple—and powerful—as someone truly listening. No pressure. No judgment. Just compassion, curiosity, and care. I believe God meets us in those moments, and that healing doesn’t just happen to us—it grows with us.

As a Christian counselor and teacher at heart, I love helping people make sense of their stories, discover practical tools, and learn how to navigate life’s challenges with more confidence and clarity. Whether you’re facing trauma, anxiety, or relational struggles, I’m here to walk with you—not as the expert who has all the answers, but as someone who deeply believes in your ability to heal, grow, and thrive.

I’m especially passionate about working with teenagers and families. Adolescence is such a formative season—it’s when so many beliefs about identity, worth, and relationships are taking root. I don’t just listen—I engage, I teach, and I help teens and families learn how to talk to each other instead of past each other. I believe families can grow stronger, even in the hardest seasons, and I’m honored to help make that possible.

In every session, my goal is to create a space that feels safe, faith-centered, and real. I want you to feel seen, supported, and equipped with tools that actually make a difference in everyday life. Whether you’re a teen sorting through big emotions or a parent trying to rebuild trust at home, I’d be honored to walk with you through the process.

Let’s do this together—with faith, grace, and practical steps toward lasting change.

A few things about me:

• I’m a lifelong learner, especially when it comes to becoming a more effective, inclusive, and compassionate support for every client I meet.

• I’ve completed trauma training that deepened my ability to teach clients emotional regulation and build stronger coping skills.

• Outside of counseling, I find life in prayer, good conversation, meaningful relationships, and quiet moments of reflection.
