About Me

In 2012, I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Master’s of Arts in Clinical Psychology. I began practicing therapy full-time in 2013, working primarily with male clients in a correctional setting. After 8 years working in the Texas prison system, I decided to make a change. I launched Joel Looney Counseling in April 2021.

In addition to my experience in mental health, I am on staff with a local non-denominational church where I have attended for over 20 years and now serve as Teaching Pastor. My background of pastoral training includes a certificate in Biblical Studies from Youth With a Mission and a Church Planting Residency through Vineyard Institute.
