Hi, I'm Tiffany Jones. I am a licensed holistic psychotherapist who deeply believes that healing begins when we stop chasing perfection and start embracing our real, beautifully messy lives. With a focus on whole-person healing, I integrate existential, experiential, and person-centered therapy, always tailored to a client’s unique story. My approach is rooted in the belief that we’re shaped by more than just what’s going on inside us. We’re also impacted by culture, community, and lived experience; I offer a space where all of that can be honored.

I entered this field in mid-life as a result of dissatisfaction in my previous field and a strong sense of my need to follow what I had always loved - psychology. After being trained in a wholistic psych program at Univ of West GA and getting additional trainings of depth psychotherapy with American Academy of Psychotherapists, for the last 9 years, I have been practicing Experiential Psychotherapy. My philosophy is rooted in Humanistic psychology, and an emphasis in the relationship between the therapist and client, in the growth of client, rather than pathology, and in focusing on the whole of the client, rather than in one aspect. I always work on myself, try to be aware of my own issues and any barriers to helping clients, and I do my best on self-growth. I try to be more curious about my clients' struggles and less judgmental. And I always trust in my clients' ability to help themselves with good support and insights to help them.

Feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or the weight of trauma? Life transitions—whether planned or unexpected—can leave even insightful, high-functioning, capable adults feeling overwhelmed or uncertain. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can lay down what’s been heavy, explore the patterns beneath it, and build tools that actually work in daily life. My goal is to help you move from stress and self-doubt toward greater clarity, balance, and confidence. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths-based approaches that help you shift unhelpful thoughts, respond differently to challenges, and build on your existing resilience. Whether you’re coping with panic, burnout, perfectionism, or grief, we’ll focus on practical strategies that fit your life. Therapy with me is about more than coping; it’s about creating clarity, balance, and the confidence to move forward. You already carry strengths—I help you use them with purpose. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start making meaningful changes towards transformation, let’s begin.

Is emotional upheaval getting in the way of your moving forward with your life? I would love the opportunity to help you to sort through the sources of the emotions, help to make them more manageable, and help you to regain some sense of direction and progress for your life. Working toward more refined beliefs and understanding about emotions, circumstances, and responses to them can be helpful. In my roughly 30 years as a psychologist I have mostly worked with people who have problems with anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, relationship problems, and aging issues. I have worked with ages ranging from elementary school to 70s and a little older. I have found that experience allows me to realize client needs more quickly than in my early years in practice, and hope to use this experience to your benefit. Note that online scheduling is limited, and my practice schedule is Monday and Tuesday from 1pm to 6pm, and Wednesday from 12pm to 5pm.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Yes! If you use Blue Cross Blue Shield you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Blue Cross Blue Shield you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
