Creating safety within a non-judgmental environment is vital to begin the journey of recovery and healing. Each person has their own unique set of beliefs, experiences and needs. I collaborate with clients to identify the goals and direction of therapy. My clients are insightful, creative, intelligent people who are working to attain specific goals, make difficult life transitions, or work through the internal and external struggles of previous experiences.
I use a combination of CBT and trauma-focused techniques. My background is a Master's of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University, as well as a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Harding University. I have additional training in grief and trauma therapy.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Grief, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Control issues, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Women's issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shawnda 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 find strength and balance within the conversations I share with my therapist, Dr Jones.

I only briefly worked with Shawnda, but she was nice and listened to my concerns in a non judgmental way. We didn’t have much time to work on things, but I felt validated.
