Joye Psychology & Wellness

What Joye Psychology & Wellness does

Joye Psychology & Wellness, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned mental health clinic founded in 2014 by Dr. Joye and headquartered at 306 Commercial Drive in Savannah, Georgia. The clinic delivers comprehensive diagnostic assessments and evidence-based therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, with approximately 90% of clients being children and teens. Core service lines include diagnostic assessment for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, learning disabilities, intellectual disability, and giftedness for ages 1-17, as well as individual, couples, and family therapy. The clinic also operates specialized Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) with four certified providers and a virtual 1-2-3 Magic parenting boot camp, and offers school advocacy/IEP-504 consultation. It is the only clinic in the Savannah area providing developmental evaluations in Spanish.

The business model is a fee-for-service healthcare practice that bills predominantly through insurance. The clinic is in-network with 54 insurance plans including all three Georgia Medicaid CMOs (CareSource, Peach State, and Amerigroup), with approximately 50% of clients covered by Medicaid. Co-pays typically range from $15 to $70 per session and deductibles and co-insurance are passed through to patients. CareSource terminated the contract in May 2026 over a 20% rate reduction; the clinic publicly refused the cut. Self-pay clients are accepted with documentation supplied for out-of-network reimbursement. Approximately 7,000 individuals have been served over the past three years, with families traveling from 132 different counties. Technology is limited to a HIPAA-compliant web-based client portal for existing patients; there is no public app, no AI integration, and no public-facing API. The clinic is an independent LLC with no disclosed parent company, outside investors, or funding rounds.
