Kendall Jones, LCSW
About me
My work as a psychotherapist emerges from the many diverse experiences I have had in life, from my encounters with people of different cultures and languages, from my travels throughout various parts of the world, and from my own soulful journeys in search of self. Like Santiago, in Coelho’s classic novel, The Alchemist, I have been in search of the very things for which clients often come to me and dream of becoming. Each of us, in some way or other, is in search of love, to love or to be loved and on a mysterious quest—deeply longing for something far greater than ourselves within ourselves.
I know the journey can seem, at times, long and hard. There are times along the way when you may feel sad, hopeless, frustrated, overwhelmed, numb, anxious, fearful if not terrified, disappointed in yourself or betrayed by another. You may have experienced or witnessed something that has traumatized you—leaving you bereft of any sense of meaning. Perhaps you are angry or resentful about something that has or hasn’t happened. Maybe you’re feeling alone, abandoned, left behind or believe that you never really mattered or are rejected for who you truly are. Or you’re just maybe a little lost right now and don’t know who you are anymore, much less where you’re going. Wherever you find yourself in this journey of life, on this personal quest of yours, chances are I’ve been there too.
What I bring to my clients in psychotherapy are the very things I myself have learned—some from books (and academic research) but mostly from my own richly vast experiences. From these, I have formed a personal, genuine, client-centered, strength-affirming, hope-sustaining, meaning-finding and an unconditionally accepting therapeutic approach.
If you are on such a journey and seek not so much an all-knowing guide but rather the company of a compassionate, caring, insightful and understanding person to walk beside you, then I will be both humbled and honored to work with you in psychotherapy. Let’s begin this awesome and amazing journey together...

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kendall Jones. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve been seeing Kendall for a few months now, and I can honestly say he’s been an incredible support in my life. Kendall really listens to everything I share and always offers thoughtful advice. What makes him stand out is how he goes the extra mile, even off the clock, he’ll send along articles or exercises that fit what we’ve been talking about.
One of the most impactful things he did was help me find a way to get closure from a past relationship that had really left me hanging emotionally. He suggested I write a letter expressing everything I needed to say and then do a small ritual (like burning the letter) to symbolize letting go. It might sound simple, but it made a huge difference for me and helped me find a sense of peace I didn’t think I’d get.
If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares and brings creative and thoughtful approaches to the table, I can’t recommend Kendall enough!

Kendall is amazing. He listens but also challenges me. He helps me think and process in ways I haven’t thought before. I highly recommend Kendall.

He's and incredibly knowledgeable man and he listens and responds in such a way that he feels like a friend. I think very highly of this man and he is the best therapist that I've ever had the pleasure of speaking too.
