Dr. Joan Samuels-Dennis

“There has got to be more to life than this.”

That’s what I used to say—until I discovered the Becoming Method® and stepped fully into my role as a pioneer in the field of RN–Psychotherapy.

Welcome, I'm Dr. Joan

For 26 years, I’ve been a nurse. For 16, a researcher and community mobilizer. For 8, an RN-Psychotherapist. And every step of the way, I’ve been helping nurses remember who they are. I support them in rediscovering the deeper calling they lost sight of—buried under burnout, trauma, and the pressure to keep pushing through.

My mission is to build a new generation of nurse–psychotherapists equipped to change lives at scale.
