Kim Jones
Welcome! My name is Kim, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical experience, and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, supported and empowered to grow.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of clinical experience and I believe therapy is a place where you can feel truly heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
My approach to therapy is eclectic, meaning I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques and perspectives to create an experience that is tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and goals. I bring a warm, genuine, down-to-earth approach to our work together, meeting you where you are and helping you navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding and hope. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming space where you can feel comfortable being yourself, explore what matters most to you, and work toward meaningful changes that help you create a more fulfilling life. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I'm here to walk alongside you.
First session
In our first session together, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. I’ll start by sharing a bit about how I work, and I’ll invite you to share whatever you feel comfortable with about yourself. We’ll go through an initial assessment, which includes some general questions to help me understand what you’re experiencing and what brings you to therapy at this time. This is also a chance for you to ask me any questions about the therapy process. Most importantly, our first session is about creating a comfortable space where you feel safe, heard, and supported. From there, we’ll begin building a plan that feels right for you and your goals moving forward.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, supportive, and genuine connection where you feel heard, understood, and accepted. I approach therapy with compassion, authenticity, and a deep respect for your individual experiences. My training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) further strengthens my ability to help clients navigate the impact of trauma and develop tools for healing and growth. Together, we work toward the meaningful changes you want to make in your life—whether that means navigating difficult situations, finding relief from distressing symptoms, strengthening self-esteem, or processing and healing from past trauma. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in moving toward greater healing, growth, and self-understanding.
Ideal clients
If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or the effects of past trauma, I may be a good fit for you. I work well with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and create meaningful changes in their lives. My approach is collaborative and grounded in the belief that you already possess many of the strengths and resources needed to move forward. Together, we can build on those strengths, develop new ways of navigating life's challenges, and help you move toward greater emotional well-being, self-understanding, and personal growth.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is one of the most highly effective evidence-based therapies for reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, marital issues and disordered eating. I use CBT to help my clients understand the connection between their thoughts and feelings with the goal of reducing unwanted behaviors. CBT enhances and improves problem-solving skills and overall quality of life.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is another evidence based therapy that is effective in addressing very intense emotions and is usually combined with CBT to help clients learn how to change unhelpful behaviors so they can live more fulfilling lives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Therapy is a type of therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy. It helps clients identify dysfunctional thoughts and learn how to choose different ones instead which serve them better. With MBT, we can decrease stress, reduce automatic responses and improve overall daily functioning and quality of life.
