I’m Joycelyn Alexander, a Certified Peer Support Specialist and Certified Crisis Counselor. I’m also someone who’s lived through the ups and downs of mental health recovery—and come out stronger. I’ve spent the last 16 years in recovery from self-harm, suicidal ideation, alcohol use, and substance use. Along the way, I’ve worked the Warmline and answered calls for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, helping people through some of their darkest moments.
I started Peerspective because I believe no one should have to figure this out alone.

MORE DETAILI started Peerspective Mental Health Consulting because I believe in the power of story. When someone sits across from you and says, “Me too,” it changes everything. This work is about more than surviving—it’s about rebuilding, reimagining, and reclaiming your life.
Recovery isn’t a destination. It’s a process. And through peer support, I help people and families walk that path with more confidence, less shame, and a whole lot of hope.
Peer support is grounded in mutual respect and shared understanding. It means someone with lived experience walks beside you—not ahead of you—while you navigate your own mental health journey.
