Excellent first appointment
He’s really taking the time to get to understand me as an individual and I appreciate the time he’s taking to help me out. The information is providing is extremely relevant to my situation and I couldn’t be happier.
Paul is absolutely fantastic
Paul helped me to reconnect to my authentic self in a way that was not only encouraging but held me accountable to the false self I had created over time.
Paul is a subject matter experts who does and exceptional job!
Paul has been helpful in providing me with strategies to help in moments of high anxiety, exercises to do throughout the day to help reduce the severity and frequency of the highly anxious moments and guide me in understanding my triggers and identify my inner dialog that contributes to these feelings. I feel as though I'm healing everyday.
He is an incredible resource
Not much other than it was really great working with mr. Paul Jones
I have enjoyed my time with Paul. He has been of a great help to me in dealing with anxiety. He has been a great sounding board as well. I'm a pastor and he has helped me well from a Christian perspective.
I immediately felt I found the best therapist for me. Mr. Jones understands my situation and is helping me work through the best steps to regain my confidence, to plan, and to minimize my stress and fears.
Paul is great!
My therapy experience has been awesome I didn’t know what to expect, but I’m learning a lot about my self!
Great so far! Much better than expected.
Paul is an excellent therapist. He is working with me cognitively and giving me things to work on. He explains things in a more thorough way that gets you thinking and gives you a better understanding of yourself. I highly recommend.
Honestly I was a bit skeptical of some of his techniques at first but Paul really knows the things he advocates, I highly recommend Paul Jones to anyone with Autism, or depression.
Mr. Jones was extremely helpful for me. He really helped me work through some deep insecurities from my past that caused a lot of anger and irrational thoughts/behavior. He helped me find great coping skills to better control myself in the future. He’s a great listener and shows you that your feelings are valid while also having many many tools and strategies to help control overwhelming emotions. I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with those issues!
Paul has helped me get to a much better frame of mind. I appreciate his patience and the way he frames questions. It is clear that he listens to what I have to say carefully. He has given me the tools to confront my despairing, resentful, and anxious thoughts. He has also taken the time to help me find spiritual solutions and given me different ways to think about things. I can confidently say that with Paul's help, I will be able to live my life in a way that is more fulfilling and accepting.
Paul listens to my concerns and helps talk through strategies for dealing with life's challenges. I'm thankful that I tried the betterhelp tool and they matched me with Paul.
Mr. Jones is an amazing therapist and he listens to and responds to all my concerns. I am glad that the Lord lead me to him. He has been a blessing to me.
Thanks so much!
Fantastic therapist
Great experience and well grounded Therapist
Mr. Jones has been an exceptional throughout my entire Experience!
Paul has been like a ray of light in the darkness. His methods are problem solving focused and have helped me come out of a deep depression. He has helped me reframe the way I think about life experiences from negative to positive. He also considers my spiritual beliefs in the process. I am looking forward to learning more from him and applying it to my daily life.
I came to therapy because I realized that I had hit a point where I needed help processing things from the past that I never really properly looked at that still impact me to this day. Paul has been incredible. Ever session is incredibly positive and his smooth delivery and guidance makes me almost feel as if I’m arriving at these answers myself. I feel comfortable talking to Paul about anything. Highly recommend.
He's great!
Have appreciated reference to scriptural references.
Also have appreciated good humor and worksheet references
Paul has been a great resource for me during a difficult time. He has offered me a variety of ways to help alleviate the mental challenges I have faced. he is great at challenging me and supporting me at the same time.
Paul has been insightful, kind and supportive. He has helped me greatly.
Both myself and my family (wife and kids) can tell that I am a healthier person than I was before, and I am becoming the person they need me to be and that I need to be.
After my first session i felt very confident in Mr. Jones’s expertise.
In our first visit Paul provided me with actionable advice and strategies to combat my anxiety and begin healing my trauma. I look forward to my own progress and learning more from Paul.
Paul is very well-mannered, patient, a good listener, and gives very thorough advice without seeming judgmental or condescending. I will continue to pursue therapy with Paul and I am happy I was matched with him. I would advise anyone else to work with him.
He's very smart,nice, caring,he understands
I am completely satisfied with the therapy Mr. Jones provides. I feel confident and excited about the progress I am making. He has given me several strategies to use for self-control and anger management. I am blessed to have such knowledgeable therapist and I look forward to every session.
Fantastic listener who takes a proactive approach to recovery.
Paul is absolutely fantastic. He has helped me a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help.
I have greatly appreciated my sessions with Paul. He has a long history of working with clients and a wealth of expertise. I especially enjoy how he has a vast knowledge of spiritual-based counseling, but he uses it subtly. He waits for my cues and spiritual interests before delving deeper, and I appreciate this. He has been very encouraging and offers excellent tools for stress-management, parenting, and self-affirmation. I would highly recommend!
Great therapist who knows exactly what to say to help you feel better mentally. He also has great worksheets for improving mental stability and strength. Very positive
I have only met with Paul twice via videoconference! I was a little unsure of how I would feel doing a video conference or a counselor via the Internet but my daughter who is studying to be a mental health therapist did this for me and I am so happy she has and signed me up because I kept saying oh I’ll do it later I’ll do it later… And we all know how that goes, yeah don’t do it. I am so pleasantly surprised at how much I like Paul and am comfortable with him. Would highly recommend Paul and this service
After only two sessions I would highly recommend Paul Jones. I feel very comfortable and I appreciate the constructive feedback. Change is not always easy, but with his support, it already feels more manageable.
He has helped me a lot in the little time I have been in contact with him
He has been extremely helpful so far. It’s actually me who’s been on the lack side of things. I would recommend him to anyone seeking help in the same way I am.
A great listener and clear thinker. Very helpful in both a spiritual and practical manner.
Paul Jones is a great counselor, he is doing a very good job.
I’ve known Mr. Jones in a short amount of time but he has been a great therapist thus far! I would recommend him to other individuals seeking therapy.
Paul is a great counselor. He's an active listener and committed to helping you understand how your brain works and responds. He also makes sure you're active in the healing process, with worksheets and discussions of coping strategies for working on your own time. Healing is a full time job and Paul seems committed to helping you strengthen yourself to be successful.
