Joy Zedler MFT

Joy Zedler serves as the Executive Director of The Pearl Project, where she has dedicated her work to supporting children and families impacted by trauma. As a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern and Trust Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) Practitioner, she is passionate about helping children and families find healing, connection, and stability.

Joy specializes in working with children, parents, and family systems, offering practical support for behavioral challenges, emotional struggles, and relational conflict. She has extensive experience walking alongside foster and adoptive families and understands the unique dynamics that come with trauma-informed care.

Her approach is both compassionate and practical. Joy works to create a safe and engaging environment for children while partnering closely with parents to strengthen connection, improve communication, and build healthy family rhythms. She believes that lasting change happens when the entire family system is supported, not just the individual.

Grounded in a Christian worldview, Joy integrates faith and clinical insight in a way that respects each client’s preferences and values. Her heart is to help families move from survival to stability, and from disconnection to deep, meaningful relationships.
