Making the decision to get the help you need and deserve is the first step in improving your quality of life. Hi! My name is Joy Fullhardt and I’m a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in the state of New York. With over 30 years experience, I have had the opportunity and privilege to work in various mental health settings.

Thanks for your interest in my practice. I am a licensed psychologist who works with adults, adolescents, and children. I most often work with individuals; however, I also work with couples and families as appropriate.

I enjoy helping individuals through the ongoing process of "becoming" and feeling more comfortable in their own skin. I have extensive experience working with people struggling with anxiety, identity and self-esteem conflicts, relationship difficulties, and depression. Other areas of focus in my practice include working on enhancing creativity, reducing shyness and inhibition, and overcoming procrastination. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. I hold an advanced training certificate in Psychoanalysis. I also have post graduate training in Group Psychotherapy, which I believe can be a powerful adjunct to individual work.

Welcome! As a parent and a specialist working with individuals who struggle with life challenges and ADHD, I understand the often tremendous difficulty involved in raising a child with ADHD and/or struggling with your own ADHD diagnosis. It is certainly a situation that requires fortitude, perseverance and sometimes a village of professionals, friends, and family to impact change in a positive way. I am here to offer guidance with respect to what you need to be successful in dealing with yourself or your child’s ADHD; which will include the latest scientific knowledge and guidance for best outcomes.

As a solution-focused psychologist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve the challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I work with clients to help identify, process and heal relational issues whether it be familial, romantic, professional, or platonic. I also work with clients suffering from and feeling held back by the scars of trauma and other emotional wounds. I help clients to acknowledge the pain they feel, slowly process it, and eventually accept it so they can take back control of their lives and enjoy closer relationships.

I provide relationship coaching to support, empower, and teach couples how to be happy together again. So many couples are simply missing the tools needed to create the healthy relationship they want. Partners need to know the "rules" of healthy communication, fighting constructively, and repairing the breaks that occur between them. When you understand why couples fight and how unresolved conflicts snowball into deep resentment and unhappiness, you're able to help reverse it. I believe teaching the underlying principles allows each partner to trust the process and invest in making changes.

If you've been through a lot each day may feel like a struggle. Some days you feel so overwhelmed, you rely on old habits that makes you feel worse afterwards. You try avoiding, distracting, denying, but somehow you find yourself repeating the same cycle of pain. Change is possible, Healing is possible, and you CAN end the cycle. This can be the beginning of your new journey in learning and finding out what it is that is causing the pain so that you can work towards gaining back your control. When we understand it better, we can work on building healthy ways to deal with it.

The decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Choosing a therapist can also be difficult. I believe that the relationship between patient and therapist is one of the most important components in a person's treatment. I often refer to the therapy process as a playground because a playground is a safe place to explore and learn; so is therapy. Together we will explore and better prepare you to handle the emotions and difficulties that brought you to therapy.
