Tracy Jones

My communication style

I favor working as a team, collaboratively, and using a strength-based approach where I can help individuals enhance the skills they already have, use them in new ways, or learn additional strategies to cope with life stressors and reduce anxiety or depression. I want clients to feel welcomed, safe, and comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted a career that focused on helping others in some way. Shortly after completing my undergraduate degree, I began volunteering on a crisis line and found that I enjoyed the work and felt that I could connect and help others. I decided to enter graduate school shortly after. I love seeing clients achieve their goals.

My goals for you

Clients decide what they want to work on. I view my role as a guide by creating a safe place to explore how they want their life to change, ways in which this might happen, and helping them to figure out the best path to achieve those goals.

Our first session

While it's impossible to know everything about someone in the first meeting, I try to get a sense of who they are, their strengths, relationships with friends and family, current struggles or stressors, and what they hope to get from therapy. I also explain how therapy works with me and give space for questions.

I identify as...
