I have over 26 years of experience in individual and couples therapy, successfully treating adults and adolescents, many of whom are going through transitions in their lives. I have extensive experience in relationship issues, divorce, blended families, ADHD, military issues, parenting, job and academic stress, sexual identity issues, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. During a comprehensive assessment, I help my clients identify areas of satisfaction as well as areas they would like to change.

My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, works to cultural competency, body positive, holds space for spiritual deconstruction, social justice-oriented, & heals spiritual trauma/manipulation.
You are not alone in feeling the emotional toll of the current state of our nation. It's exhausting, disheartening, uncertain. It's time for radical liberation. No more do we let society label our worth. Nor allow jobs to suck the life from our spirit. Nor spiritual dogma to crush our sense of self. Nor do we allow the powerful to demonize us. It's important not to lose ourselves here. Real change happens from a place of self embodiment, not in frantic action. Finding safety, belonging, and authentic rest on our own can feel overwhelming. I would love to partner with you as you work toward centering self in the midst of this chaos.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’re not sure where to begin or how to put your experiences into words, and I aim to create a space that feels calm, welcoming, and judgment-free.
I have experience supporting clients with trauma histories, emotional numbness, identity concerns, and reliance on substances as a way to cope. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and strive to provide culturally responsive care. I meet clients where they are and support them moving forward at their pace.

I work best with thoughtful adults who want to better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped them. Many come to therapy struggling with the effects of trauma, difficult relationships, major life transitions, or patterns that keep repeating. My approach is active and collaborative. I share observations, concepts, perspectives, and practical skills throughout the process. I also consider the broader context of a person's life, including relationships, culture, physical health, hormones, and other factors that may influence well-being.

It’s easy to overthink or become overwhelmed reading descriptions of therapists. Trust your gut and schedule a free consultation to guide you. I'm Meredith Jones and I have over a decade of clinical experience helping others with anxiety, relationship issues, substance use, trauma and grief. Unexpected changes or uncertainty around career, home life, or health can be isolating and create feelings of instability. If you need help connecting to your motivation for change, want to look at patterns no longer serving you well, desire to strengthen your coping skills or need help stilling your mind to live in the moment I've got you.

Teletherapy ONLY - Life can be a roller coaster! Everyone goes through periods of highs and lows, take on twists and turns, and at times we come to a screeching halt.

I can provide a comfortable, confidential, and non-judgmental environment for you to explore what YOU need out of life. I will be there to support you, provide perspective, and empower you to determine what is needed for you to maintain being your best self..

If you choose me to support you in your healing, you will be getting an LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist, unapologetically liberal therapist that values connection, autonomy, and compassion.
Are you struggling with persistent, intrusive thoughts about past unpleasant events? Do you often ask yourself, "Why can't I just get over this?" Have these experiences made it difficult to trust & connect with others? If so, you may be experiencing signs of PTSD. As a certified clinical trauma professional and someone with my own lived experience of trauma, I understand how trauma impacts the brain and body and the effect this can have on daily life. While we cannot change what happened, I can offer you tools and therapeutic approaches to help these events feel more distant allowing you to focus on the present.
