About Ashleigh Joyner Resident (She/Her)

Ashleigh Joyner resident is a BIPOC, Queer, and neurodiverse clinician at Blue Box Psychotherapy.

I am a resident in counseling in Virginia and an alumni of  Old Dominion University. I believe that all facets of my therapeutic work should incorporate cultural humility and multicultural knowledge. My aim is to offer my clients a secure environment where they can investigate their present concerns, examine their past experiences, and constructively shape their identity. Finding the ideal counselor might be challenging when it comes to vulnerability. I would like to encourage you to investigate this and learn from it in a connection with affirming and helpful counseling.

I offer individual and relationship counseling for adults 18+, with experience working with both monogamous and ethically non-monogamous clients.
