Counseling Practice – Counseling for Joy
Counseling for Joy is a somatic psychotherapy practice in Corvallis, Oregon, operated by Judy Rintoul, MA, JD, MFT, SEP. Rintoul holds credentials as a Marriage and Family Therapist and a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. The practice is built around a mind-body approach that, as described on the site, goes beyond symptom relief by tracking stress responses in the nervous system and working to reformat neural pathways through the therapeutic relationship and targeted somatic and experiential techniques.
Services include individual counseling, couples counseling, family therapy, and therapy for teens and children. Clinical concerns addressed on the site include trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, identity issues, ADD/ADHD, grief, eating disorders, relationship challenges, addiction, and professional development. Therapeutic modalities listed include somatic experiencing, body-centered psychodynamic work, dream work, mindfulness practices, family systems work, art therapy, sand therapy, music therapy, play therapies, dialectical and behavioral therapies, and life coaching. The practice states that these approaches are informed by neuroscience research and that the body is treated as a primary vehicle for therapeutic change, not merely the mind.
