Al Joy is a consultant, personal advisor, futurist, life coach, author, astrologer, TV and radio host, specializing in relationships and their interactive dynamics. His unique gift and subtle understanding of what takes place within human encounters has been utilized on numerous radio shows and on the CNBC televised show, Ask E. Jean, in which Al was a "Brain Trust" who answered relationship problems for two and a half years.
He currently resides in Chicago with a nationwide clientele in which he consults, advises and intervenes within the corporate, business and entertainment industries. He has assisted many celebrity couples in accelerating their resolution process by helping them understand the relationship model that they are using and the type of relationship that they're creating or seeking to create to satisfy a variety of emotional, physical, social, philosophical and spiritual needs.
Al Joy has developed a unique philosophy and diagnostic tool called Solar Psychology in which he looks at the different regions of knowledge that organize the interactive patterns within all of us. Combining the arts of philosophy, psychology, sociology, astronomy and astrology, Solar Psychology provides people with a way of defining and organizing themselves as multidimensional beings who are filtering in certain information to construct their perception of reality.
It is an interactive dynamic model that can assist their exploration by drawing a picture of how they are being dynamically configured and reconfigured to perceive and participate in life on multiple levels and the underlying drives that are compelling them forward. By increasing their ability to comprehend the actual complexity of what is taking place in their relationship, Solar Psychology is a powerful tool that will greatly improve their chances of achieving and experiencing positive outcomes in all aspects of their lives.
"I believe that the key to the future is understanding how you process information for security. Part of what I do is help you understand the various filters you use to process information through and how these different
perceptions are creating your ability to be involved and find completion and fulfillment in the different worlds you exist within. It is my job to help you approach,
create and excel in your future." Al Joy
If you’re bold enough to really look at your life
to see what’s really happening behind all your decisions, relationships and encounters… strap on your seat belt before you contact Al Joy. My personal history with this teacher can only be described as warp speed psychotherapy, which has resulted in my living a richer, prosperous, fuller life devoid of confusion and suffering which certainly was my life before he and I worked together. Of course there were other teachers used, some really good but none can hold a candle to what Al Joy’s work did for me. So, if you’re ready for the truth and you have the courage to face it, call him.

My association covers several years with Mr. Al Joy and his associates and has had a profound impact on my life. In each instance it was, always, timely that we connected when we did and very important to my personal and business life.
Al Joy is a very important man to the world and has always announced the coming life cycles that were to impact the world. He has seriously impacted my life and the lives of those who are most dear and important to me. Even when it was hard to hear if you could be still and listen Mr. Joy had something of major import to bring to you. His guidance has literally saved my life .
It is hard to know exactly how to thank this very powerful, caring, brilliant, man but I am very grateful to have this opportunity to state what I feel about his caring and wisdom which has meant a great deal to me over these years.
Joy is certainly an appropriate name for this great Man.

Wendy S. Lea, Business C.E.O.
Al Joy has asked me to tell you a little bit about what he does. And that’s a challenging assignment, because what he does is not like what anybody else does.
The first thing he does is try to get you unstuck.
Most of us are stuck. We’re either stuck in our financial lives, our personal lives, or somewhere. And we can’t quite figure out how to get unstuck.
One of the things Al does is help you understand how you got stuck. What you’re stuck in and what it’s going to take to get you unstuck. And that’s real helpful, because the reason most of us are not living our dreams is because they may not be our dreams. We may have bought into somebody else’s dream.
And Al makes it real clear about how you got to that point and gives you the opportunity to take a fresh look at it and say, “Is that what I really want to do?”
Now the process of how he does that—I don’t think I can explain it. I don’t know that he can explain it. He’s studied everything. He’s studied spiritual approaches from the East. Western philosophies. He’s studied all of this information and condensed it into an approach that is uniquely his.
It’s very spiritual. It’s not religious in the sense that you don’t have to go to mass or you don’t have to go to church in order to understand it. But it’s very spiritual and it’s connected to that inner spirit in all of us that really is our true guide. He tries to get us to go back to that truth that’s inside all of us.
Get past all the blocks. Get past all the barriers. Get past all the lies. Get past all the things we’ve done to delude ourselves into thinking that we’re okay, while we’re not really believing it. If you will just spend some time with him, you will get an idea and a vision of yourself that will allow you to move into the things that you’ve always wanted to do. But you were too afraid, because of whatever reason.
The Al Joy experience . . . it’s something like you’ve never had before. And you owe it to yourself.

—Safia Henderson-Holmes, Educator/Author
“The presence of truth in Al’s workshops
and sessions takes the seal off of the old way of existing, propelling one into a new sense of being. It sets up a process that reveals the truth of one’s identity, true desires, and immobilizing beliefs.”
—Vickie Schuver, Holistic Therapist

I have been blessed to meet and become a client of Al Joy. He holds the key to so many doors that can become locked or that have never been opened to us in our lives.”

“Al Joy has a rare gift for seeing all aspects of a person,
including those parts that have been cut-off, repressed, or denied. In bringing what’s hidden to a state of consciousness, he has the ability to play the role—to speak the words of the hidden part. So for the person who is disconnected from his emotions, Al speaks the emotions of that person. And when the person hears them, he recognizes, ‘that’s me.’ Whether it’s the emotions, the intellect, the body, or the spirit,
Al becomes that aspect of the person that has been denied. Like the physical therapist that works with the stroke victim, he picks up the person's hand and mimics its natural movement until the person can become conscious of his own hand and how it moves. Little by little, the person gains more control over the part that has been paralyzed. Once the individual gets in touch with all their parts, he or she can consciously integrate their body, mind, and spirit into the magnificent creature we are capable of being.”
Rita Bradshaw-Byers, Professor
Al joy has helped bring me to a much higher state of consciousness. He has an amazing gift of helping people understand the way their mind has been preconditioned due to childhood. In just one session he was able to pin-point my preconditioning and helped me understand why I was making the destructive choices over and over again in my life. He immediately began to teach me how to reconstruct my mind to become more conscious, self-loving, self-compassionate, and to make choices based upon a conscious decision rather than a reactive state. Self-discovery and reconditioning the mind can seem like a daunting and scary task but Al's infectious personality and hilarious sense of humor keeps me laughing for the entire session, making it the most fun experience of my week! Since working with Al, I feel a peace that I never felt before. To my great satisfaction, I have learned that I am not crazy after all! Rather, my mind was preconditioned from childhood in a way that was not fully suited to guide me through life in a positive manner. Al is teaching me how to reprogram my mind so that I may achieve my personal and professional goals. Today, I have a much greater sense of hope for my future.

“Al Joy has made sense out of the nonsense in my life.
He has brought together all the roles I play on this great big stage called life. He has taught me how experiences from day one may dictate all the rest. Through his teaching, I have learned how to recognize and understand my own patterns and myths, and the environments and experiences I replicate from my youth. He has given me the tools to construct any life I choose at anytime.
—Kathy Kurasch, Songwriter

I am constantly amazed by the depth of his understanding. Sessions with him are great fun. He keeps you laughing, and he’s also very moving.”

I was unable to move forward, most areas of my life were moving right along, but I could not get past something and I didn't know what it was...That is when, I was introduced to Al Joy. Al helped me to get beyond the blocks, build my relationships, end the embedded doubt and fear that restricted my growth, and ultimately to know myself. I use Al's teachings in my life and in my business which is a catalyst for continued growth in everything I do.

“My experience with Al Joy was very positive.
I have now stopped suppressing my inner self and am facing life head on, without being too aggressive. I finally had the courage to dissolve a very destructive relationship. For me, there’s no more hiding.”
—Brenda Dunn, Educator
“I was greatly impacted by Al Joy when I heard him
on the First Day program on V103. Over the last few years, I have been struggling personally. I read self-help books, talked with friends and prayed a lot. Although these things helped some, I was only scratching the surface. As a result of my sessions with Al Joy, I realized that what I needed was someone to guide me and assist me through this transition to emotional well-being. In my heart of hearts, I belive that Al is a Godsend. He is the blessing from God that I prayed for to help me get over the hurts, shed the old baggage and ultimately gain an understanding of who I am. Now I look forward to functioning successfully in my personal and professional life.”
—Portia Wallace, Investigator, Sheriffs Dept.
“Working with Al has been most ‘self-insightful,’ seeing clearly areas of unconsciousness and their origins, what past experiences we’ve been unnecessarily replaying in the present, and how to step into a ‘Now’ pervaded with full awareness, creativity, intention, and manifestation. Al has been a tremendous source of support for our union. He has been relentless in his belief in us, using great wisdom, much needed compassion, huge doses of humor and constant reminders of the responsibility to use our love as a creative force.”
—Arnie Wong, Illustrator and Dania McManus, Mediator
There are volumes of what I could say THANK YOU! is what comes to mind and heart daily!
Al made a most important impact on my life ever!!! he taught me how to see myself, to rescue myself and heal myself from my self, so that I could enjoy being with others and co-create a fulfilling life. If it weren't for AL Joy Consulting I'd still be on the other side of the looking glass. I thank God for Al Joy.
Al Joy has a magnificent style in teaching, counseling, languaging and work. His dedication is unprecedented, he reaches into the heart, breaking the codes of the hardwired program in one's psychology. Al Joy offers a doorway of spiritual psychology for the growth of an adult human being.
