Work With Me ~ I Can Help
Joy Leftow:Word Warrior with a Social Work Soul
She’s lived a hundred lives in one — therapist, poet, Columbia grad, dream defender. From Washington Heights grit to clinical grit, Joy carves light out of struggle with a pen sharp as her memory; she recalls conversations from years ago as if they occurred today.
With over 40 years of lived and professional experience, she helps people find their footing through life’s hardest moments. ADHD, grief, trauma, confusion — Joy’s been there, and she knows the way through.
Still half-ass famous, always full-force fearless, and full of heart and courage. Therapy with Joy is human, healing, and real. You won’t get a script — you’ll get someone who sees you.
We’ll rewrite your story together.
Sometimes healing begins with the right words.

What to Expect in Our Sessions:
My therapy approach is collaborative — I work with you, not just for you. Expect a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your challenges and work toward real, tangible solutions.
We may dive into conversations about your past, present, and future. You’ll never be rushed, and we’ll always move at your pace. Healing is not a straight line, but with the right tools and support, you can find your way.
