I am Patricia Jenkins Jones, a Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience specializing in transforming the lives of ambitious professionals overwhelmed by stress and anxiety.

My approach is tailored to fit the realities of your busy lifestyle, ensuring therapy becomes a transformative journey towards well-being and resilience, not just another task on your to-do list.

At each stage in life comes challenges, I aim to help you navigate these with a gentle, personalized and strength-based approach.

I believe Irvin Yalom said it best when he said we need to form a unique therapy for every person. We are all unique, our relationships and experiences are unique, and in therapy we need to find your own path forward in life. We can find that as a conversation between two experts, you being the expert in your own life, and me being an expert in this field. Together, we can work to help you find what you are looking for in therapy. Whether it is a skill and action motivated plan, or a space to emotionally process things regularly, or anything in between.

I help people cope with life transitions and the stress that comes along with them. I have 19 years of experience working with youth and families in various settings.

I believe in therapy as someone who has done my own clinical work since I was in my mid-twenties. I grew up in NJ and moved to Michigan to attend college and have been here since that time. I spent the first part of my career working in the foster care system with children and adolescents which I really enjoyed.
