Demetrus Jones
I’m Demetrus Jones, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in California. I earned my MSN from Chamberlain College of Nursing and bring over 23 years of nursing experience across acute, emergency, critical care, and leadership settings.
I provide culturally sensitive, inclusive care that honors each person’s unique background and identity.
I provide evidence-based, patient-centered care with a strong focus on safety, quality, and managing complex needs. My goal is to offer compassionate, collaborative support that helps you feel informed, confident, and cared for.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a calm, welcoming space where you feel safe to share at your own pace. We’ll talk about what’s been going on, your goals, and what you hope to feel or experience differently. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your history and current concerns better, and together we’ll begin building a clear, personalized plan. By the end of the session, you’ll have a better understanding of next steps and a realistic, supportive path forward.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I provide culturally sensitive, inclusive care that honors each person’s unique background and identity. My approach is collaborative and evidence-based, with thoughtful evaluations and personalized treatment planning. I’m skilled at supporting complex concerns while helping clients build confidence, balance, and lasting well-being.
Ideal clients
I provide holistic telehealth psychiatry across California for children (6–12), teens, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, and burnout, including co-occurring concerns. I work with individuals and parents seeking clarity, effective treatment, and lasting support. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed, creating an inclusive space for clients of all backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, we focus on thoughtful evaluations, personalized care, and building balance, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Treatment methods
Compassion-Focused
I use a compassion-focused approach to help clients develop a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. Many people I work with struggle with self-criticism, shame, or feeling “not good enough,” and this method helps shift that inner dialogue. Drawing from Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), I guide clients in understanding how their brains respond to stress and emotions, while building skills like self-compassion, emotional regulation, and resilience. In practice, I incorporate techniques such as mindfulness, grounding, and compassionate self-talk to help clients feel safe and supported as they work through challenges. My goal is to create a nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, reduce self-blame, and build confidence in managing difficult thoughts and emotions.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use a person-centered (Rogerian) approach as a foundation of my practice, focusing on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and understood. This approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. In my work, I prioritize active listening and genuine connection, helping clients gain insight, build self-awareness, and trust their own ability to grow and make meaningful changes. I believe that when individuals feel accepted and supported, they are better able to tap into their strengths, navigate challenges, and move toward their personal goals.
