My Philosophy
Dr. Jones meticulously created a warm and soothing therapeutic environment, designed to ease the nerves of starting psychotherapy. He is an incredibly warm and empathic psychologist who tailors his approach to the unique needs of each individual client. Dr. Jones has incredibly diverse training background that allows him to draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques to help optimize results for his clients. He has been trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and many others that he will draw upon to help his clients achieve optimal wellness.
Although psychotherapy is quite serious at times, Dr. Jones feels it is important to laugh and often incorporates humor into therapy sessions. He is also a firm believer in the therapeutic power of pets, and has his therapy dog, Yogi BooBoo the Corgi, in all his sessions. As an advocate of holistic treatment, Dr. Jones may recommend clients to utilize a wide array of our wellness practices to maximize your potential while in treatment.
