Phone line issues:
Unfortunately our phone lines have been experiencing issues yesterday that are continuing into today. As Wow! transitioned services to Astound, it appears they are having wide spread issues. We are currently able to receive calls, but we cannot call out. They are uncertain when this issue will be resolved. If you have called and have not heard back from us, please email joyforthejourneycounseling@gmail.com or we will return your call as soon as this issue is resolved.

Thank you for your patience as we hope this is resolved soon!

We are thinking of you all as we are going through these unusual times. Our focus is on continuing to provide the best support we can while respecting and following instructions from the CDC. This means thinking of the safety of our clients, their families, ourselves, and our families, and anyone we may come in contact with. If you are a current client of Joy for the Journey Counseling, please be on the lookout for contact from Jill or Courtney in the next several days regarding the steps being taken moving forward. We appreciate you all and hope to continue seeing our local communities coming together to support each other. If you need to reach us, please email us at joyforthejourneycounseling@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Hello! We wanted to update you all on our plans for the COVID-19/Coronavirus. We will be sanitizing surfaces often and following CDC guidelines. We will also be asking clients to wash their hands or sanitize their hands (we will too!) before each session begins.

If you are sick, please stay home! If you are an at-risk population, please stay home! Please call us at 812.490.1313 or email us at joyforthejourneycounseling@gmail.com to let us know you need to cancel your appointment(s). Our main priority is to keep everyone safe and healthy. In order to minimize risk, we ask that only one adult bring a child client to session.

We plan to be open to see clients as long as we are able. If there is a local state of emergency or we are forced to close due to illness or exposure to the virus, we will post here, call any scheduled clients, and change our voicemail to reflect our closure.

We are thankful for you all and hope these precautions will keep us all safe and well.

It started with a simple, sincere question from a mother of an 11-year-old boy.An anonymous mother posted a question to Quora, a website where people can ask questions and other people can answer them. This mother wrote:How do I tell my wonderful 11 year old son, (in a way that won’t tear him down...
