Melissa Jones
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist -
Hello. My name is Melissa, and I am licensed in the states of Arizona and California. My clinical experience and training have focused on the needs of (1) individuals and families dealing with complex trauma and PTSD; and (2) individuals with serious mental illness and substance abuse issues who want to cope more effectively in daily life.In addition to private therapy, no-cost community support groups and educational classes are available online at this time.
A significant part of my role is to support clients to identify strengths and resources and recognize the beliefs that help or hinder progress toward change. I assist clients to learn new ways of thinking and behaving so they are able to create sustainable change. That change may improve daily living, and it also may move the client further toward achieving major life goals and dreams. I always welcome potential clients to contact me to discuss how we might work together.
