My experience with Mrs. Joi Rumph has been extraordinary. We began to build rapport with one another in the fall of '17, while I was attending DUI court - mandated counseling sessions. The first attribute that I noticed, was that her style is much different than other counselors I've met. I would say her approach is integrative, relational, and solution-focused. After being one of her many students in a group counseling class once per week, Joi took me on for individual counseling. I remember past experiences with one-on-one counselors being quite uncomfortable, but this was not the case with Joi. Instead of being nervous or apprehensive about going to our scheduled sessions, I became excited and hopeful because I learned what I could expect from her: relatability, acceptance, and competence above many other outstanding qualities. Our conversations have allowed me to increase my self-awareness, and her support has given me a degree of courage (which I lacked) to fight for my sobriety. Because I learned that I can trust her, I could tell her my problems and she would suggest to me how to face them. I've always felt like my recovery was, for her, not just a professional goal, but a personal goal as well. As far as counselors are concerned, she is hands-down the most exceptional and trustworthy. I can't thank her enough.
