Ellis Jones
Anxiety is a very powerful emotion. If you are struggling with constant worry, episodes of panic, fear in social settings, intrusive thoughts, or traumatic memories, you don’t have to navigate these issues on your own. In my practice, I focus primarily on helping adult clients cope with and overcome anxiety that has become unmanageable. For many, seeking therapy can be a big step. I offer a warm and welcoming space to help you feel comfortable taking it. I invite you to face your fears, schedule the first session, and start the process of healing that you deserve. Part of finding a therapist that is a good fit includes considering appointment availability. My office hours for appointments are below: Monday through Thursday: 9am-2pm Friday: 9am-5pm Saturday and Sunday Closed
First session
In the first session, I will be collecting a thorough background on what you are struggling with, personal history, family history, and related topics so I can know how to best help you. Together we will develop goals for therapy and discuss what you would like to see happen in order for therapy to be successful.
Strengths
I tailor each session to the individual client rather than using a rigid set of techniques that I apply to everyone. I also bring a variety of experiences from my career to each session that help me be a more effective therapist.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with adult clients that are motivated to get better and come to therapy consistently until goals are achieved
Origin story
I've always enjoyed helping people in different capacities and listening to their life stories. Combined with a fascination with psychology and how the mind works, this drove me into the therapy profession.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We work together to identify what thought patterns and habits are fueling the anxiety. Changing these patterns and habits can help you gain control over it.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Avoidance of situations, physical sensations, or thoughts that create anxiety can often make the anxiety worse. ERP is considered the gold standard in treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is also effective in treating other forms of anxiety. We identify which thoughts, physical sensations, or situations are causing anxiety and develop a plan for exposure in the most manageable way possible. A key part of this plan includes letting go of habits or rituals that may help you feel better for a short period of time but are actually the reason the anxiety persists.
