Toni Jones, LPC

I  believe  that  each  person  is  doing  the  best  that  they  can  with  the  tools  &  coping  skills  that  they  have.  I have worked to help each of my clients to identify not only where they struggle but to also identify what is working positively in their lives. I do this because I operate from a belief that people often know the answers to their own questions but they sometimes lack the tools to apply the answer.  

With  my  clients,  I  help them to get a clear picture of what the actual challenge is.  We  untangle and unravel  patterns of behaviors, contributing thoughts and influencing  feelings  to  reach  the  core  of  the  problem.  We  also  look  at  the  impact  of  possible  influences  including  but  not  limited  to  family  and  societal  influence,  spiritual  and   religious   factors  and  how  the  challenge  is effecting  other areas  of  your  life  to  create  a  more  wholestic  approach  to  therapy.  .  My  goal  is  to help  you  live  the  life  you  want  in  a  way  that  is  happy  &  healthy  for  you.

I have worked In  a  variety  of  setting  including  doing  intensive  family  interventions  with  families  in  crisis,  providing  individual and  family  therapy  to  children,  teens  and  adolescents  in  psychiatric  residential  treatment as  well as  providing  community  mental  health  services  to  children,  and  adults.  

I  have experience with Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,  Brief  and  Solution  Focused  Therapy  and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as treatment modalities. 

When not working, I enjoy reading, cooking, and spending time with my family & friends..
