Hi there. I’m Joni, a fully licensed clinician with Master of Social Work from Detroit’s own Wayne State University. I commend your effort and resolve to seek therapy, as I know what it takes. I am glad to tackle any issue with you but have a special affinity and experience with family and group mediation, gender and sexual identity, men’s issues, couples and family relationships, grief and loss, adjustment and transitions, cultural issues, anxiety and ADHD, and chronic health conditions. I use a variety of strategies and modalities to serve adolescents and adults age 13+, and I work in-office or via telehealth, whatever suits. Be rest assured, no matter the issue, whatever the cause, we will find the way.

I am in office T, Th and Saturday, and offer telehealth M, W, F variable hours.

See what our patients are saying about Joni Shinn

Joni Shinn has been a God send for me. My connection with her and vice/versa has been a true blessing. The way I view things and approach any issues has improved and my relationship with people has improved because I have developed a patience and tolerance that I never imagined that I ever could. We are two months in and I look forward to many more discussions with her in the future. Thank you Joni! William!

Joni Is awesome! I look forward to, and enjoy the telehealth visits. The check-in process is to be desired, but that has nothing to do with Joni herself. I highly recommend life Stance, and Joni. Like I said, the check-in process for the telehealth visit is something to be desired. It takes about 5 to 7 minutes. I think it could be streamlined a little bit better.
