Joy Rush, LCPC, is the founder of Mindful Evolution L.L.C., a trauma‑informed counseling practice rooted in her own transformative healing journey. After navigating her personal path through pain, growth, and self‑discovery, Joy reached a profound sense of peace—one that inspired her to help others find the same. This calling led her back to school to pursue a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, which she completed in February 2023. She later earned her Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential in October 2025.

Joy specializes in supporting individuals, couples, and families working through grief, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, PTSD, complex trauma, relationship challenges, and premarital concerns. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in the belief that pain is universal, but the road each person takes to reach that pain is uniquely their own. She understands that suffering often stems from the emotional impact—the hurt, the longing, the void, the hit to self‑esteem—and that many people carry unrecognized trauma shaped by childhood experiences and normalized adversity.

At the core of Joy’s work is a commitment to listening deeply, understanding fully, and offering supportive reflection. She walks alongside her clients with compassion and honesty, helping them uncover the roots of their struggles while empowering them to do the meaningful work that happens between sessions. Joy reminds clients that healing is not easy, but it is always worth it—and that they do not have to walk the journey alone.

Through Mindful Evolution L.L.C., Joy creates a safe, affirming space where clients can evolve at their own pace, reclaim their voice, and build a life grounded in peace, resilience, and authentic self‑worth.
