Getting to know Joshua Jones
Hi everyone! I'm Josh. Do you struggle with social anxiety and poor self-confidence? I know that overcoming it is possible! Many come to therapy because of childhood trauma and how it has manifested in their adult lives. Often, this shows up as feelings of low self-confidence, self-worth, and social anxiety. At its root, the fundamental belief of those who have social anxiety is the thought, “I am not enough.” Clients get into the habit of comparing themselves to others, which makes them feel inadequate and insecure. Over time, they begin to avoid situations that trigger their anxiety, especially social ones. This can lead to social isolation and loneliness. Clients often report frequent panic attacks, not having a romantic partner, lacking friends, feeling unhappy in their jobs, and feeling disconnected from life. Others may label them as shy, quiet, or introverted. This scenario described much of my own life, which gives me lived experience to better assist you.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Pennsylvania Western University, Edinboro, and I help individuals combat their social fears and begin to live rich and fulfilling lives. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques but also integrate solution-focused therapy, assertiveness training, exposure therapy, and acceptance & commitment therapy. Whether you’re a teen struggling to make friends and socialize or an adult unable to speak up at work meetings or ask someone out on a date, I’m here for you! Seeking therapy can be frightening, but I want to assure you that you will be most welcome if you take that leap of faith!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients will typically identify their automatic negative thoughts as well as the thinking errors that contribute to those thoughts. Then they will reframe those negative thoughts with more adaptive cognitions. I utilize exposure in treatment with the understanding the only way to truly heal from social anxiety disorder is to do what scares you! I work with clients to feel better about themselves and to challenge their assumptions.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
