New to Grow
Hello, I am a clinical social worker who has practiced in multiple setting over the last 18 years and I value the experience of creating trust, empathy and understand in the treatment process. I want each person to feel seen and heard. I believe that healing happens when someone has that experience. I want you to be curious about yourself. It is important to me that you find a way show-up for yourself and others with grace and compassion.
You may expect to experience on your first session with Ty Jones that you will be put at ease that there is no write or wrong and I want to understand what is most bothersome at this time in your life. What brings you to therapy. I want to create a collaborative experience.
I have the ability to listen well, put individuals at ease while you do not feel judged. It is my strength to be responsive, present and provide direct feedback. I am sitting forward literally and figuratively to create a shift in people's lives. I have had client thank me for showing up and being honest and consistent. I believe clients have taken to mindfulness work lately because we are all overwhelmed with stressors more than ever in our every day life. It is a relief to learn how to turn off worry, fear and self-talk for increments in your day.
I enjoy working with individuals who want to see change and open to creative ways to facilitate change in their lives. I do a fair amount of challenging and that may be misunderstood so it is very important for clients ask for clarification and let's talk it through. I believe a strong therapeutic alliance is the start to significant change in your life. There is a lot of modeling that may go on in the therapy that is practical and useful in your personal relationships. Anxiety, depressed mood, stuck feelings, aging, career choices and just wanting someone to give you an objective point of view are life circumstances that I can assist you in making changes. Change starts when you are heard; small steps make for big ones.
Eclectic
Typically, I draw from multiple therapeutic models depending on where you are in your life journey. I find therapy is not a one size fit all. It is important to me to create a strong therapeutic alliance in order to facilitate change in your life. Change, commitment and self-esteem grows when there is trust. You know yourself best and I am there to facilitate increased self-awareness and insight.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Helping you define your core beliefs and looking at how they translate to your feelings , thoughts and behavior is a great experience for change agents and education about yourself. Understanding your emotions and responses are pivotal to shift gears in your life interactions.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Present moment, present time while create a scaffolding of how you want to show up can be a life changer for most people. I find we miss opportunities to connect with ourselves and others because we are always thinking about what is next. Learning how to quiet the mind to sit in the moment can usher in a beautiful moment. It may surprise you how quickly we may learn these tools.
