Lisa Jones, MA, LPC, NCC

I hold compassion for how trauma impacts life. Helping you to find your voice, my working interests are in spiritual/religious abuse; "church trauma"; betrayal; LGBTQIA; codependency (self-love deficit); shame; powerlessness; narcissism; attachment issues.

I have lived the pain cycle of love versus chaos in narcissistic-codependent relationships. I've experienced divorce, single-parenting hardships, poverty; while also finding the beauty of rebuilding brokenness, remarriage, and developing a new focus. There is power and restoration when we invite someone to walk alongside us, no matter how painful the struggle.
I offer a safe space of acceptance & kind confrontation. Our lives manifest trauma in many ways. Trauma can be a pattern, or a one-time event from religious, psychological, emotional, or physical abuse often by the people we trust the most. I use EMDR Therapy to help us work through the past, accept the present, and work toward a healthy future. See www.emdria.org for information on EMDR.

As your therapist, I will be present at your point of need. If it's anxiety, trauma, religion "mess", LGBTQIA issues, narcissism, codependency, parenting, troubled marriage, shame, powerlessness, toxic parenting, or the need to redirect a career, I will listen, be considerate and open-minded while challenging you when you need another perspective.
