Getting to know Melissa Jones
Hello, I'm Melissa. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and School Social Worker, I've had the privilege of working in community mental health clinics and school settings. I hold a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Master of Social Work from the University of New England. My journey in mental health has been deeply rooted in understanding and addressing the complexities of trauma and serious mental illness.
My work focuses on two primary areas. First, I address the impact of complex trauma on individuals and family systems, particularly PTSD resulting from long-term family and intimate partner violence and conflict. Second, I help individuals and their support systems navigate the challenges of serious mental illness and dual diagnosis, which involves the co-occurrence of mental illness and substance abuse.
In addition to individual therapy sessions for adults, parents, and family units, I also conduct community support groups and educational groups. These groups provide a safe space for clients to share their thoughts, emotions, and ideas, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
I believe in the importance of identifying and building on client strengths. My therapeutic approach is integrative, meaning I draw from various therapy methods to tailor our work to your unique needs and goals. My aim is to create an open, encouraging, and supportive relationship where we listen to one another and use the power of our therapeutic connection to drive positive change.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of healing and growth, I would be honored to support you. Let's work together to achieve your goals and build a brighter future.
