Joy Chow, APCC 

Welcome! I am an associate clinical counselor working in the mental health field since 2017. Prior to that, I had a decade-long career as a sign language interpreter with my hands in the K-12, college, VRS, and medical settings. It is my privilege to partner with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing clients in processing the effects of intergenerational trauma, vicarious trauma, domestic and sexual violence, language deprivation, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and recent diagnoses. 

My training includes working in a psychiatric acute and intensive care unit supporting patients experiencing severe depression, anxiety, psychosis, and dual diagnosis. In addition to patient care, I have provided support and psychoeducation to their loved ones also navigating through these life changes. More recently, I provide trauma therapy support to survivors of domestic and sexual violence. I am further trained in neurofeedback and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) for those seeking alternatives to talk therapy.
