Joy Trachsel

Ministry Team Member, Mental Health Coach, Prepare and Enrich Facilitator

​

Fairlawn Location

“Freedom feels good” is something that I often share with clients. It is through my own personal journey that I can wholeheartedly share that statement and encourage others. When we are able to work through our strongholds and experience freedom, with and in Christ, we are truly free. The journey isn’t always easy, but it is possible when we are given the space, the tools and the truth. I enjoy seeing clients lay down what has kept them in bondage and walk in freedom.

Experience

Joy graduated from Mary Baldwin College with a degree in Business Administration and Crown College with a Masters in Pastoral Counseling. She has also done graduate studies at Trinity Evangelical School of Divinity. She has been speaking for over 15 years both nationally and internationally and can be heard on Moody Radio – Cleveland (WCRF) as part of the Pause For Prayer Team.  She is also the author of The Great Cover-Up, a book that inspires women to say YES to God.  

She has a passion for working with those that are feeling trapped and stuck and watching them be set free in Jesus. This includes but is not limited to those that are experiencing anxiety, depression and grief. Joy desires to make space for those that are searching for hope and desiring to let go of what is hindering them. She also enjoys working with couples and families, helping them create the relationship they never knew they could have.
