Denise J. Jones, PhD, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)

I’m a therapist with a vast background of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings. I’m someone who cares deeply about helping others and I strive to provide a warm and safe space to allow you to be you. Therapy can help to foster changes in thoughts, emotions and behaviors to develop positive and effective coping strategies to deal with life’s stressors.Since I believe that all individuals are unique and exceptional, therapy services are customized based on each person’s needs. Therapy interventions may include include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma Based Interventions (TBI), Play Therapy Interventions and Behavior Modification.

Helping children and adolescents

Children teach us how to be happy for no reason at all. As children and adolescents grow, they may find it difficult to process emotions which can lead to challenges that can impact mental health and well-being. To assist with these challenges, therapeutic approaches may include: cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, trauma-informed care and behaviorally-based interventions. I provide services to children and adolescents that may have experienced trauma, (e.g. physical, emotional, sexual, due to neglect, exposure to violence, etc.), struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral and attachment issues (relating to adoption, foster care, parental conflict/mental health issues) and family conflict.
