Joanna Said

Licensed Professional Counselor – Candidate | MA, LPCC

Hello, and welcome! I’m glad you’re here!

You’ve done the most courageous part – starting the search for emotional balance, healing, and wellness!

I get it…You’re exhausted from holding it all together—and it’s starting to show.

Maybe your racing thoughts never seem to shut off or you find yourself caught in cycles from the past you wish you could leave behind. The constant juggling of responsibilities leaves you drained, spilling into everything—your relationships, your sleep, even your ability to focus. You’ve tried to push through, but now the physical toll is harder to ignore: tightness in your chest, a restless mind, foggy thinking, and unshakable fatigue. These are your body’s way of saying, “I’ve been carrying this weight for far too long.” The good news is that healing is possible, and together we can create space for calm, clarity, and renewed strength.

At Inspired Resilience Counseling, we help you untangle what’s underneath the stress and find real tools for healing. Through evidence-based therapy and nervous system regulation, we’ll work together to rebuild the confidence, calm, and clarity you’ve been missing—not by forcing change, but by making space for it.

You don’t have to keep doing this alone.
Let’s take the next step—together.

WHAT TO EXPECT

I am here to support you as you explore challenging questions with openness and courage. My role is not to provide all the answers but to walk alongside you as a guide—helping you navigate life’s complexities, explore difficult relationship dynamics, and embrace the freedom and responsibility you have to shape your own path.

Together, we will gain awareness around what has shaped your sense of self, discover strengths you already possess, and empower you towards resilience and healing. Through unpacking the fears, past hurts, and doubts that are holding you back, you will develop strategies to reconnect with what gives you meaning and purpose. You will gain the tools to make healthy choices, build resilience, and move forward with clarity and confidence—knowing that, while life may not always be predictable, you have the strength and tools to face it.

ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY (ART)

ART is a gentle yet powerful approach that helps you break free from painful memories, anxiety, or stuck patterns—often in just a few sessions. Using eye movements similar to EMDR and guided imagery, ART allows your brain to “recode” distressing experiences so you remember what happened without the emotional weight. Many clients describe feeling calmer, lighter, and more in control—without having to relive all the details of their past.

EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY

With a deep understanding of how creative expression can heal, I specialize in expressive art therapy to help clients tap into their emotions through art. Whether you struggle with past trauma, anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, different forms of art can provide a powerful, non-verbal way to explore your soul’s landscape. My approach encourages you to create freely through the connection with the left/right brain integration guiding you through the process of self-discovery and healing. Together, we’ll use your unique God-given creativity to unlock insight, foster emotional growth, and build resilience.

SAFE AND SOUND PROTOCOL (SSP)

I am certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), a therapeutic approach designed to reduce stress, anxiety, and trauma responses by improving the way the brain processes sound. With training and experience in SSP, I help clients create a sense of safety and calm by stimulating the nervous system in a gentle, effective way. If you struggle with emotional dysregulation, trauma, or sensory processing issues, SSP can offer profound relief, helping you feel more grounded, connected, and resilient.
