Adam Jones
I have been a licensed clinical social worker for 28 years. I chose a social work career to support and help others who find themselves in difficult situations. I'll help you identify your strengths, set attainable goals, and work with you to address feelings of anxiety or depression. As a Certified Happiness Trainer, I have a particular interest in happiness and well-being, and would be glad to incorporate this into our work if you wish.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to understand how clients' thoughts affect their feelings and behaviors. This helps me tailor individualized treatment goals and interventions.
Grief Therapy
I am a Certified Grief Educator. I help clients identify the type of loss and help them find positive coping skills.
Positive Psychology
I help clients understand the importance of happiness and assist them in identifying and applying happiness boosting activities. In addition, my approach includes discussing the building blocks of well-being.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
By focusing on the client's strengths, resources, and goals rather than problems, we work together to identify preferred outcomes. Using interventions like the miracle question and review of past successes, we can focus on small, achievable actions.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts that create distress. We work together to find more helpful thoughts that lead to healthier thinking and behavior.

I actually forgot to tell him some crucial stuff because it wasn't coming to my head. But the more I talked to him, the more I felt comfortable sheding my issues to light. He's a great person, and I look forward to working with him in the future to overcome my issues on obsession and grief.
