ABOUT
THERAPSIST
Dean Jones, LCW
I am an anti-oppression psychotherapist who believes in healing the past, present, and potential future traumas and emotional wounds. My approach focuses on the whole person. We aim to address the root causes for behaviors, unwanted emotions, perspectives, and beliefs not merely to treat the symptoms.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, therapy is not solely centered on a mental health diagnosis as in a problem or disorder that needs to be solved or corrected, but rather from an in-depth exploration of the various contributing factors to why you are seeking services.
I use various therapeutic modalities depending on you the client and the issues being addressed. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR as it allows for true transformation of cognitions, negative emotions, and somatic symptoms in most cases in a shorter time than traditional psychodynamic often referred to as talk therapy.
​
I am trained in Play Therapy and various other methods of working with children, adolescents and young adults,. I have worked in School-Based Mental Health from pre-school through college.
​
Be well.
OUR MISSION
Guided by Compassion
My style of providing therapy is somewhat unique in how I approach the concerns, challenges, and struggles my clients bring. It’s rooted in attunement. What do I mean by attunement? I not only listen to what’s said — I also listen for what isn’t. I do this without making assumptions, but by paying attention to emotional responses and behavior patterns that clients may not even realize have developed over time. These often show up as emotions, beliefs, or behaviors that no longer serve them.
My approach is to support you in finding your own natural and authentic way of healing — one that leads to lasting resolution and feels sustainable now and in the future.
