Hi there! My name is Ally Jones, I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. I have over 10 years of experience working with young people. First as a special education paraprofessional and then more recently a mental health counselor. I have worked with clients with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, peer and friendship issues, life transitions, Autism, ADHD, and much more. I also have experience supporting clients with childhood trauma.
My belief is that everyone is doing the best they can with what they know how to do. My first task in therapy is always to build supportive relationships with clients and build trust before addressing any presenting issues. I believe building a trusting relationship is key to making change. With my caring and not-always-serious approach, I work with clients to come up with treatment goals tailored to their needs and allow them to guide how we will address these goals. My therapeutic approach is a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Trauma Focused Therapy. I also love to include art and creativity in sessions.
Whether you want to focus on work issues or personal issues, together we can work to manage the stressors that come with living in this sometimes hectic world and get you to where you want to be.
