I specialize in anxiety, ADHD, OCD, high achievers, burnout, perfectionism, grief, parenting, and coping with chronic illnesses.
Feeling stuck and having trouble engaging in what really matters to you? Your brain has done an excellent job keeping you safe, but old strategies developed as a reaction to stressors may no longer meet your needs. Issues like family of origin discord, medical illnesses, unidentified neurodivergence, and mismatched work environments can all add up to impact our relationship with ourselves and others. I am a PDA, EDS, ARFID, POTS, and MCAS informed clinician. I especially love working with high achieving adults who have issues with perfectionism, burnout, dissociation, procrastination and later in life neurocomplex diagnoses.

I can help clients with school-based behavioral issues, grief/ loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, foster care process for children, family therapy, trauma, adjustment disorders, and parenting.
The ups and downs of life can cause issues, which if not addressed, can cause mental health problems. Therapy is a place to learn how to transform our internal dialogue during those challenging times in our life. It can mean confronting what we have typically avoided, in a safe and reaffirming environment where science-based interventions reinforce resiliency. I believe that empathy and compassion combined with evidence-based interventions can help you develop coping skills that facilitate growth to your person-centered goals.

Maybe you are overwhelmed with the demands and changes that life brings, like school, work, intimate relationships, parenting, and loss.
In the midst of adversity, things seems cloudy, disrupting our system of problem-solving, making it difficult to overcome challenges. As a therapist, I believe you have the necessary tools, metaphorically speaking - a compass and map, to get you where you want to go. It is my role to come alongside you, and help you orient the map.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues.
One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

Whether you’re a caregiver who is just trying to stay afloat, or someone who is going through a major life transition–such as a loss, a new role, or a recent diagnosis–you are likely very conscientious and self-aware, which makes you all the more frustrated that you can’t seem to get “unstuck
Leave the self-judgments aside. Life gets messy and it’s not always easy to know how to navigate change. Especially for people who are used to putting others first. In my practice, I bring curiosity and compassion so that we can make space for whatever you are thinking and feeling. Together, we can examine and implement the changes you want to make.

Hello, my name is Yolanda Jones and I am excited to meet you. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more and learning how I may help you feel better through our therapy work. My ideal client is one who realizes that change starts with him/ her. My ideal client is ready to take action following an understanding that yesterday’s trauma unknowingly, and unconsciously can keep one in a state of maladaptive feelings such as low self-esteem, anger, guilt, shame, jealousy, or perfectionism.

I also work with those struggling with grief and loss, codependency and relationship issues, life adjustment difficulties, anger and emotional-management issues, mood disorders, and low self-worth.
Are you feeling stuck in your life? Do you feel mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically exhausted, confused, or disconnected? It's easy to get stuck in our patterns, ways of functioning in life become habitual, and often these patterns become damaging to us- personally and relationally. What's more, it's not always easy to see exactly where we are getting stuck and how to move beyond that place. I offer support, encouragement, and trust as you begin a new journey toward healing and growth.

Anxiety, depression, grief/ loss are just a few reasons why people look to therapy for support.
Human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind. Our attitudes and beliefs may come from our childhood, our experiences and maybe what we have learned from others. After working in many areas of mental health, I have gained experience in assisting people in figuring out where thoughts and feelings may be coming from and the best methods to improve them. Everyone finds that their overall mental health improves and they create a better version of themselves. I have been married for 14 years and have three young kids.
