Hello, my name is Scott Jones and I am a licensed professional counselor. While I enjoy working with many different populations, I specifically find the challenge of working with dually diagnosed individuals to be the most rewarding.

I also work with folks who have depression, anxiety, trauma, relational trauma, and disordered eating. I work from an attachment perspective and do relational counseling.

Counseling gives you an opportunity to express yourself with an enlightened witness: an ethical professional who listens carefully, and with acceptance and positive regard, and with the intention of promoting your wellbeing through insights, associations, and skills building. Ideal clients are those who want to understand what lies beneath symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health diagnoses to examine your personal triggers for nervous system dysregulation. The source of your angst may include past trauma, neurodevelopmental disorders (Autism, ADHD, etc.) or physical health conditions, and often, all three.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers, and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

I work with couples, teens, adults and families. For Couples, I use the Gottman method.
I have worked in Wilderness Therapy, Adventure Therapy, Department of Human Services, Crisis management centers, and private practice.
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons and why you are seeking therapy is going to be an excellent starting point for our work together. Generally speaking, I do what we call talk therapy. How that looks will depend on your goals for therapy. Healing does not look the same for everyone.

Accepting New Client- Our brains are pre-programmed to try almost anything to maximize our chances of getting our needs met. Sometimes, our brain tries to meet these needs for safety, peace, and connection in ways that don’t seem to work like they used to. If something feels slightly out of sync - I want to hear about it. If the wheels have come off completely, and everything feels like chaos - I want to hear about it. You deserve support and expertise as you let go of the things that used to work and open up to new solutions and perspectives. Whether this is exhilarating or terrifying, just know you don't have to do this alone.

Curious about EMDR Therapy? EMDR is extensively researched, highly effective, and recommended by organizations such as the APA, WHO, and DoD. In fact, over the last 33 years, millions have been successfully treated with EMDR by over 100,000 clinicians worldwide. EMDR is commonly effective with anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, fears, phobias, panic, trauma, sleep issues, addictions, and performance challenges. What makes EMDR so powerful is how effectively it turns on the brain’s natural healing process, allowing for deep release of the painful past thoughts and wounds that keep you stuck in old, negative patterns.

As a busy professional, parent, or partner life can feel like a blur at times, making it easy to lose sight of your values and desired life direction. This can be even more challenging for people who did not get the emotional nurturance they needed growing up.
When we aren’t used to tending to our own emotions and needs—focusing instead on others and what is expected of us—we are more prone to anxiety, self-doubt, people pleasing, harsh self criticism, and self neglect.
Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to understand yourself better, clarify what you need, and pursue what’s most important in your life.

We live in a culture that reinforces the idea that we should be able to have it “together” all the time; think positive, be grateful, and push harder. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and discouraged that things aren’t getting better. You may notice yourself disconnecting from your self and others. Asking for help seems so hard! This is why I am here doing this work, guiding others through those stuck places, and helping people not feel so alone in it all. Let me be your guide and help you reconnect with your own strength, wisdom and intuition.
