Hello, I’m Joy (Yoonjeong) Choi, a Registered Social Worker (Alberta, Ontario & Saskatchewan) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCPA), here to support you through life’s ups and downs with care and expertise. I specialize in helping clients navigate OCD & Anxiety Disorders, Depression & Low Mood, Trauma & PTSD, Stress & Anger Management, Life Transitions & Change. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR therapy for trauma healing, I tailor my practice to fit your unique needs, focusing on person-centered, attachment repair and holistic care.
Our bodies hold onto painful memories, even when our minds don’t, leading to distress and defensive reactions. We explore emotional responses, build awareness, and cultivate balance while staying grounded in the present. With my support, you’ll not only find emotional relief but also nurture deeper self-compassion, reconnecting with your authentic self.
Discover the strength in your story. Joy offers a warm and understanding space where you can explore, heal, and grow—guiding you with compassionate counselling. Wherever you are on your journey, you don’t have to walk alone. Take a step toward self-acceptance and deeper connection today.
Call or Joy Choi now for a free 15 minute consultation - (306) 313-9800

I work with clients who may be facing challenges with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. In our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore these issues and collaborate to develop a plan to address them, helping you regain control of your life. Most of my clients notice a gradual improvement in their symptoms within the first month, with continued progress over time.

Have you heard about DBT? It includes skills for Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness. These are great tools for everyone! When we start to notice what is going on in our brain, emotions, body, and sensations, and closely listen to what our body is saying, most mental health care is well-addressed.
