Joyce Larson is the creator of the ThriveSteer planner and practices marriage and family therapy at Cornerstone. She received her Master of Science in Family Therapy from Friends University after a career in business and also has training through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Joyce feels that therapy is her true calling in life and loves the convergence of her past ministry and business experience in casting vision and hope for people while crafting practical and strategic solutions to empower people to meet their goals. 

Joyce helps clients regain vision for their lives through a holistic, integrated approach considering their physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and relational well-being. Her approach has been described by clients and co-therapists as compassionate as well as practical. She believes that when people are able to live out of their strengths, they will experience a greater sense of purpose in life and in their relationships.  

Joyce has specific insight and training in working with relational dynamics, sex therapy, PTSD, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, organizational and career dynamics, and multicultural issues. She is a trained facilitator of Prepare-Enrich and Couples' Communication, programs to help enrich couples' relationships.

Joyce has provided group therapy for adolescents, couples, and veterans and has been a featured guest speaker to groups on various topics including grief, trauma, sexual wholeness, applying strengths in a career, and leadership development. She has provided debriefing for a team of therapists who handled a mass shooting and for survivors of international terrorist attacks. 

Through all of these circumstances, Joyce is passionate about seeing people experience healing and restoration and empowering them to live daily as their best selves. For more information, visit her website www.thrivesteer.com or www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/joyce-larson-boulder-co/378089.
