Hi, I'm Kendra Jones, a licensed independent clinical social worker, who is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. I specialize in working with clients facing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship struggles and chronic health issues. You can expect to receive care and compassion in a non-judgmental space. We will work together toward building a more meaningful, balanced, and empowered life.
Starting therapy can feel a little intimidating to some and that is completely normal. My goal in our first session is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. No pressure and absolutely no judgement. We'll begin with a conversation, where I'll ask some questions to better understand what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping for, and how life has been feeling lately. You don't need to have all the answers and explain everything perfectly. You're welcome to share at your own pace, and I'll help guide the process gently.
What sets my work apart is a balance of compassion, clarity, and practicality. I actively partner with you to help gain insight, develop tools, and make meaningful changes that last beyond the therapeutic setting. My work blends evidence based practices with a warm personalized touch. You'll find I focus on not only relieving emotional pain, but on helping you reconnect with your values, strengths, and purpose. Clients often tell me they appreciate how approachable, non-judgmental, and practical our work feels. Together, we can work toward real-life results: improved communication, healthier boundaries, emotional regulation, stronger self-worth, and more intentional living.
As a therapist, I'm best positioned to support individuals and couples who are ready to grow through what they're going through. Those who may feel stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of repeating the same patterns and are now seeking real, meaningful change.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) doesn't aim to suppress or "fix" negative thoughts. Instead it encourages acceptance of thoughts and emotions without letting them dictate behavior.
CBT helps to teach clients how to identify, understand, and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, low-self esteem, etc.
