My Portfolio
Lead Therapist

Hello, I’m Joy Njumbi Gichohi aka The Psychospiritual Dr as known by my following the Founder and Lead Therapist at Love and Care Network. I am passionate about empowering others to lead healthier, more fulfilled lives through mental and spiritual wellness. With a diverse background in both business and psychology, I offer a unique approach to therapy, coaching, and motivation that bridges the gap between the mind, body, and spirit.
As a motivational speaker, I engage with schools, talk programs and corporate organizations, offering inspiration and practical guidance on navigating life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. Through virtual therapy sessions, I walk alongside individuals on their healing and growth journeys, helping them uncover their potential and develop practical tools for emotional and mental well-being.
Beyond therapy, I’m deeply committed to psychoeducation through social media, where I share insights, reflections, and mental health awareness content that inspire self-awareness and holistic living.
My work is grounded in the values of humility, honesty, compassion, optimism, and integrity, and I strive to create safe spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, heal deeply, and live purposefully and most importantly uncover their God given purpose by understanding themselves from the lens of Jesus Christ our Creator.
