I have been working with individuals and families for over 15 years. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Master's Degree in Counseling with emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy. As a well rounded therapist, I appreciate my ability to work with people from all walks of life, with a variety of experiences; from adult to child, from the foster care system to the prison system. I have the innate desire to build empathetic, genuine, therapeutic relationships with my clients in order to create a safe space for healing and change. I believe this the best therapeutic approach, but in regard the theoretical approaches, I use several: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Care, Brainspotting Techniques, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT), & Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples. I have a desire to work with individuals who are experiencing emotional distress due to anxiety, depression, PTSD, racial and religious traumas, social justice issues, and chronic pain. These things cause dysregulation in our bodies, minds, and hearts.

Feeling anxious, empty, trapped, or stuck in a pattern that feels impossible to break? Often, our current struggles signify deeper wounds that, when nurtured, can bring profound healing and empowerment. I believe every individual has inherent purpose and value and my goal is to help you align with yours—whether through clarifying values, making behavioral changes, or shifting thought patterns. My approach is strengths-based and nonjudgmental. I understand that healing is a deeply personal journey, and I work collaboratively with you to ensure that you feel understood and supported. I utilize an eclectic method, drawing from a range of techniques and theoretical orientations, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, we will create personalized treatment goals and interventions that meet your specific needs and goals.

Hello, my name is Elliot Jones and I'm committed to helping others relieve distress and achieve their goals. My approach to therapy is collaborating with you to understand your values, goals, experiences, strengths and expectations for therapy. My intention for every session is to create a place of acceptance, compassion and safety that allows for exploration, connection and healing. It will not always be possible but as a rule it is the hope that a person leaves the session feeling better then when they arrived. As a trauma informed therapist compassion, empathy and acceptance will be at the core of treatment. I use action based interventions to sustain and achieve positive changes throughout the week. My overall goal as a therapist is for the client to be ending treatment with a clear direction of where they are headed in life that is rooted in their values and strengths as well as a strong sense of self and acceptance.

My name is Feji, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach integrates Psychodynamic Theory, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and trauma informed modalities. My goal is to help clients uncover the root of their internal conflicts. I also guide clients in developing a deeper awareness of how trauma could manifest in their bodies. I often say that our bodies are wise, they consistently signal when unresolved emotions and inner conflicts are left unaddressed. Just as we tend to our physical health, it’s vital that we nurture our internal world with the same care and intention.

I have done extensive work with the LGBTQIA+ population, as well as specializing in mood disorders and trauma. I know that trauma comes in many forms, and not all of them are recognized by others in the field, let alone by society at large. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, or that it doesn't have an impact. I may not understand your experiences directly, but I can empathize with your pain and struggle and see you for the complex and individual human being that you are.

Hello! It is truly a pleasure to have the possibility of working with you. Anxiety, trauma, and depression can make us feel lost and the road through is muddy and overwhelming. This is why having a guide that can understand you and meet you where you are, is incredibly important. It is my goal to help you navigate this voyage as well as hold and work through complex emotions as they fight with each other while at the same time cohabitating in the same space. I look forward to taking those first steps with you and take this journey together.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take EAP:Cigna?

Yes! If you use EAP:Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
