About The Therapist — Jocelyn Joseph, LMHC
As a young woman of color, I saw firsthand how limited mental health support was for people like me. Over the years, I’ve watched with excitement as the community of clinicians of color has grown. However, through my journey—from grad school to private practice and community mental health—I’ve realized there’s still a significant gap in support for high-achieving, high-functioning women. We often carry unique burdens that go unnoticed because our strength and accomplishments can hide the struggles beneath the surface.
As your therapist, my mission is to bridge this gap by providing the specialized care that young, high-functioning women of color need. Whether it’s setting boundaries, processing past trauma, or reconnecting with emotions, I’m here to offer guidance tailored to your experiences. I know how challenging it can be to seek help when you’re expected to always be strong and put-together. That’s why I’m committed to creating a space where you can step into your own healing journey—without the pressure of always being the support for others.
Using a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach, I blend techniques like radically open DBT, IFS, and EMDR to help you understand how your past shapes your present. Together, we’ll equip you with the tools you need to move forward and create a life that’s fulfilling, authentic, and true to who you are.

About Orenda’s World
At Orenda’s World we believe healing is more than self-care—it’s a radical act of reclaiming yourself.
Founded by Jocelyn Joseph, LMHC, our practice was created to fill a critical gap: a space where high-achieving women of color can find therapy that truly understands them. You’ve built a successful life, but beneath the surface, perfectionism, burnout, and unspoken emotional weight can take a toll. Here, you don’t have to perform strength—you get to be fully seen.
Our approach is:
Trauma-informed – because your past experiences shape your present
Culturally affirming – because healing must honor your lived experience
Rooted in radical openness – because true freedom comes from unlearning survival mode
We are more than a therapy practice; we are a movement toward healing, self-trust, and a life on your own terms. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, unlearning people-pleasing, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this space was created for you.
You don’t have to do it all alone. Ready to start your journey?
