My name is Danielle Jones. I am a graduate of Antioch University with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Since 2016 my experience has ranged from anxiety, depression and trauma to ADHD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Experience and training have allowed me the privilege of working with adolescents and adults ranging from 15 and up as a mobile therapist and in office settings. Treatment modalities include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Understanding the continuously changing environment and demands that impact mental health, I constantly look for and take advantage of educational opportunities of client-centered treatment modalities that ignite client participation for purposes of collaborative positive change. As a Clinical Mental Health Counselor my passion is bringing healing to people who are struggling with some of life’s challenges. I believe that helping people understand and connect to their thought processes creates the foundation for positive change. Using a personable and empathetic approach to understanding people’s challenges, I have made it my purpose to guide and support clients on their journey to achieving and maintaining an improved quality of life. Every treatment approach is unique to the specific needs/goals of the client. Therefore, I take pride in developing a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship that allows clients the freedom to begin their healing process. I offer an environment that clients can feel safe in to explore and challenge themselves. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family (as I take on my new role as a grandmom), traveling and reading. I am a huge advocate for self-care and strongly encourage my clients to engage in self-care activities. Some of what I enjoy the most are decorating, gardening and crocheting as hobbies.

Hello and Welcome! What an honor to have you take this courageous step toward finding a therapist. Are you dealing with overwhelming life challenges? Do you experience the pressures of modern life? Do you experience loneliness? In your day-to-day life, do you ever feel uneasy? What about when it comes to your job? Do you find it difficult to establish boundaries and say “no”? Even if you are aware that changes are a natural part of life, do you find it difficult to adapt to any changes? Do you feel unsure of yourself and struggle to make decisions? When you have to "adult," do you feel worn out and emotionally and physically exhausted? Do you experience shifts in your mood that may be challenging to overcome? Are you experiencing any symptoms of loss and grief? If you answer yes to any of these, you have come to the right place. I work with adults who are experiencing daily stress, anxiety, self-doubt, fear, and depression to decrease their symptoms and reconnect with themselves, so they can gain confidence, inner peace, and self-acceptance, free of anxiety and fear, to live their most authentic lives. Are you willing to share some of your challenges and have me as your guide? I invite you today to take a moment for your mental well-being, for yourself to pause and notice, to learn and unlearn, and to let go of anything that is no longer serving you.
