Joy Zedler

MFT, TBRI Practitioner, Making Sense of Your Worth Facilitator, Circle of Security Trainer

Joy Zedler is a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern with a heart for walking alongside children, individuals, and families as they navigate hard seasons, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing.

Joy is the founder and Executive Director ofThe Pearl Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families and professionals understand trauma, build connection, and promote healing. Her passion for this work is deeply personal. Joy and her husband, Stephen, became foster parents more than 14 years ago, and their family grew through adoption.

Joy takes a warm, relational approach to therapy, creating a space where clients can feel safe, understood, and supported. She believes healing happens through connection and that even the hardest parts of our stories can become places of growth and hope.

Joy and Stephen live in Ocala, Florida and have five children, ages 13 to 23. Her greatest joy is her family and the beautifully imperfect life they have built together.
