Zekiiyah M. Joyner
LMSW

Zekiiyah is a Licensed Master Social Worker in the state of New York and an alumna of Howard University’s School of Social Work. During her graduate studies, she completed coursework in Direct Practice, with a specialization in Family and Child Welfare Services.
As a psychotherapist, Zekiiyah provides individual therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults of all ages. She is passionate about supporting individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges, build emotional awareness, and work toward meaningful personal growth.
Zekiiyah’s therapeutic approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy. She believes that clients are the experts of their own lives and views her role as one of guidance, support, and collaboration rather than control. She strives to create a safe, respectful, and empowering space where clients feel heard, valued, and understood.
She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, also known as CBT, to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge thinking errors, and develop healthier perspectives. Zekiiyah believes that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are deeply connected, and she enjoys helping clients unlearn patterns that no longer serve them while building new skills for healthier thinking and living.
Zekiiyah is especially interested in continuing her work with children, adolescents, and families and hopes to pursue a career as a School Social Worker within the New York City Department of Education.
