Joseph Jones, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Joseph!

I am both a licensed psychologist with the California Board of Psychology and a Licensed Educational Psychologist with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. My background is as a psychologist, teacher, school psychologist, public school administrator, and psychologist in a forensic setting.

My focus

I have discovered that my approach often meshes well with issues such as ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities, Generalized Anxiety Disorders, Major Depressive Disorder, Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders, Personality Disorders, LGBTQIA+, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Grief, Couples/Marriage, School Psychology, Conduct Disorders and many more.

My approach

Treatment modalities are in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychoanalytic, rational emotive therapy, transactional analysis, psychoeducational, client-centered, grief, gestalt, and existential psychotherapy.

My communication style

I use questions to invite your perspective, offer feedback with warmth and humor, and hold unconditional positive regard for every client. Sessions feel collaborative and supportive, with ongoing considerations for your continued growth and well-being.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to psychology began in the US Marines and continued through teaching, school psychology, and administration. These experiences taught me the value of resilience, service, and meeting people where they are.

My goals for you

We work together through collaborative feedback sessions and regular progress monitoring. This ensures therapy stays aligned with your goals and adapts as you grow.

Our first session

Our first session is an intake where we explore what brings you to therapy and determine if we're a good match. It's a chance for you to ask questions and see how we might work together.
