Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD)
Trauma and PTSD
I've always believed that most people aren't broken, they're stuck. And stuck is something we can work with. For 15 years I have worked with a wide range of people: veterans carrying wounds that never got proper attention, couples trying to find their way to a healthier relationship, individuals wrestling with OCD or trauma or habits they can't seem to shake, and families navigating transitions that turned their world upside down. I tend to be direct yet compassionate in the way approach therapy and to what my clients are dealing with. The best complement for me is when a client tells me how they felt seen and heard unlike they have had previously. I have a particular place in my heart for those living between worlds - racial minorities, expats, and members of immigrant communities who are navigating the push and pull of various socio-cultural forces. I understand that experience from the inside, not just from a textbook. If you are someone who is ready to engage honestly and wants a clinician who will meet you with both expertise and genuine care, please reach out.

Clients often tell me they’ve never had a therapist quite like me. Many of my clients have tried therapy before but felt it was mainly surface-level venting. Sessions with me are far more than that. My style is active, collaborative, and grounded in honest conversation. I won’t simply nod along or repeat what you’ve already told me. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, challenge what isn’t working, and help you make sense of your experiences in a way that leads to meaningful change. I include humor in our sessions when it feels right. Therapy can be meaningful without being stiff or overly clinical. Some conversations will be deep and challenging, while others might include humor or a different perspective. You don’t have to hold back here. You can be blunt, emotional, messy, or even make a sarcastic joke during tough discussions. I’m not looking for perfection. I’m looking for honesty and a willingness to move forward. Understanding your diagnosis or past experiences is part of therapy, but it’s not everything. Some struggles come from trauma, mental health, or life experiences, while others are simply part of being human. We all face relationships, stress, loss, uncertainty, and change. Rather than focusing only on a diagnosis or label, we’ll look at the full picture of your life and find meaningful ways to move forward. This work is a good fit if you are open to new ideas, willing to be challenged, and ready to apply what we discuss between sessions. I’ll provide practical tools, but therapy isn’t about quick fixes. Gaining insight is valuable, but insight alone doesn’t create change. Sometimes the work is learning to manage discomfort rather than eliminate it. Together, we’ll understand what keeps you stuck and learn to respond differently over time.

As a clinician, my objective with you is simple--to help you understand how to prioritize yourself without guilt. In my sessions we explore the root causes of your self-abandonment, self-sabotage, and self-betrayal. From that root, we identify the repeating patterns that have arrested your emotional investment in yourself, your wellness, and your needs. We use all of that information to disrupt the behaviors that you've learned to keep you hushed, compliant and overlooked. Being able to name your emotions, your needs, and your experiences--whether they be anxiety, depression, life transitions & adjustments, dating--all of them require understanding how to identify, express, confront and process your emotions. In my practice, we don't just talk about your emotions and trauma--we do something about them.

Do you wish you could just check out of the matrix and reset if only for a moment? Well, I am here to help you do just that.

My history includes a 25-year teaching career and a slow transition to a full-time therapist in the last 8 years.

I am a psychotherapist with over 17 years of clinical experience. I utilize a relational, person-centered, strengths-based approach, in addition to incorporating mindfulness-based therapeutic techniques. I'm also trained in providing ecotherapy for clients interested in having sessions outdoors, and accessing nature as a part of the therapeutic process. I also incorporate therapeutic journaling and encourage every client to keep a journal during their time in therapy (and beyond).

Hello and congratulations on taking your first step towards bettering your mental. My name is Jasmine Jones and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. I believe in time; everyone can transform their life into one that is filled with meaning and purpose. When faced with unfavorable or traumatic life experiences, these events change our perception of self, the world and challenge our growth. I seek to empower my clients to recognize their strengths and utilize their naturally acquired resilience to change the narratives governing their lives to facilitate transformation and healing. I am an empathetic, compassionate and human clinician. This quality makes it easy for me to provide a safe space for my clients to share themselves vulnerably and authentically without feeling judged. I received my Master's degree from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. I have been in the helping profession for over 9 years. This has allowed me to gain an extensive amount of experience working with different populations in different settings. I specialize in serving adolescent through adulthood doing individual and family therapy. I look forward to helping you with your mental health and healing journey.

Each person brings a unique set of experiences and challenges. I partner with you to meet you where you are and help you achieve the personal or professional goals that matter most. From managing stress and anxiety, feelings of depression, ADHD or navigating life transitions, I combine empathic listening with practical strategies and a touch of humor to make growth both meaningful and manageable. I’m skilled at helping you identify both clear goals and the strengths you may overlook in yourself. Even when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, there are always strengths and insights we can build from and I help bring those into focus. Together, we will clarify goals, strengthen coping skills, and develop strategies that support decision-making, confidence, and emotional balance.
