Meet Joiet Wesley, EdD, MPH, LPC, NCC, CPCS

Welcome to Mental Matters with a Sparkle of Joy®. I'm Dr. Joiet Wesley, an esteemed therapist with a deep-rooted connection to the vibrant community of Atlanta, Georgia. I invite you to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and growth with Mental Matters, where every session is infused with a Sparkle of Joy.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and a National Certified Counselor (NCC), I am committed to providing comprehensive support to individuals seeking mental health and well-being. With a Doctorate in Education (EdD), a Master's in Public Health (MPH) and Master’s in Counseling (MA), I bring a unique blend of expertise to the counseling field. A significant part of my heart is devoted to student-athletes’ mental well-being. Leveraging my extensive background in higher education as a leader and professor, I firmly believe that a holistic approach to therapy is key. I am committed to supporting the mental health of those navigating the unique challenges and pressures of being a student-athlete.

For those seeking life transition therapy, I guide individuals through the challenges and opportunities that come with significant life changes. Grief counseling is a compassionate space I provide to navigate the intricate emotions associated with any type of loss, offering support and healing.

My personal motto, "If you don't take care of yourself mentally, it could cost you EVERYTHING," underscores the importance of prioritizing mental health.

During bariatric evaluations, I assist individuals on their weight loss journey, addressing both the physical and mental aspects of this transformative process. Along with this, body image therapy is another cornerstone of my practice, aimed at fostering a positive and healthy relationship with one's body. 

Beyond the counseling room, you'll find me immersed in the warmth of family, participating in community activities, and finding inspiration within the walls of my hometown. As an active and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta, Inc., I am dedicated to positively impacting the lives of those around me. In my leisure time, I find joy in life’s simple pleasures—whether it's exploring new recipes in the kitchen, attending church, or basking in the tranquility of a sunset on a beach. 

As the proud owner of Mental Matters with a Sparkle of Joy®, I am dedicated to fostering mental wellness and resilience. I love what I do, and my calling is to help individuals pursue complete wellness and mental well-being. Whether you're facing a life transition, coping with grief, undergoing bariatric surgery, navigating body image challenges, or seeking support as a student-athlete, I am here to guide you on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.
