Anne Jones, LPC-S

Staff Therapist

Philosophy

I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and helping them gain healing and freedom in their lives. I seek to foster a safe and supportive therapeutic environment in which my clients can work through any hurt or challenge, whether past or present. I value the integration of body, mind and spirit, and the dignity and worth of each person. I seek to give my clients both insight and practical tools in order to help facilitate change and healthier relationships. I utilize a variety of techniques including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, among others.

After working for 10 years in Residence Life/Higher Education and being on her own healing journey, Anne felt called to return to school to be able to help others as a professional counselor. Prior to joining The Center, she counseled individuals, couples, and adolescents in a church setting, and also worked for 10 years in a multidisciplinary clinic treating persons with physical injuries/pain and emotional pain/trauma. She believes it is an honor and privilege to be able to come alongside others to help guide them on their own healing journeys. Her life verse is 2 Corinthians 1:3-5.
