I utilize Gottman Method, Mindfulness, CBT-TF, DBT, EMDR, and IFS.
We all can feel overwhelmed when dealing with life's transitions, obstacles & everyday hiccups. Especially, if our inner child is not in alignment with our higher self-actualization. This can wreak havoc on our interpersonal relationships, self-worth, and lovability at times when we go into giver and taker roles. Life can feel amplified when we harness our authentic values, trust our intuition to say no, & effectively communicate in a way that allows us to connect deeply to self & others. I love working with ambitious professional couples who are ready to heal together & align with their higher purpose to create something optimal.

I offer a blend of psychodynamic and humanistic therapies and CBT and DBT to both honor the depths in each person and offer tangible coping tools.
Modern life is grueling, especially when trying to grieve a loss or process overwhelming trauma. It might feel like an almost insurmountable feat just to find a safe environment within which all of your emotions are honored and accepted. There is a sense that we must trudge on and deny intense feelings and thoughts in order to present a more palatable image to the world, which can compound sadness, anxiety, and loneliness. I understand how exhausting this can feel.

I provide EMDR therapy as well as several other therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, and mindfulness based recovery to have each of my clients reach a level of success and satisfaction.
I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.

I utilized IFS approach to mental health issues and can offer CBT, DBT types of treatments as well.
Entering therapy can be difficult and it is very important to find a therapist with whom you connect well. My goal in therapeutic relationship is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment to honor vulnerability required to make changes in one's life. My approach is collaborative. I believe everyone has a unique story and inherent wisdom. I hope to be able to help uncover that and assist with teaching necessary skills to cope and to make changes needed to get desired results.

My name is Andrew Jones, and I am a licensed Therapist (LMFT) in California. You can take a look at my profile to learn a little bit more about my background, education, experience and therapeutic approach. Online counseling is fairly new, and I've found it to be really just as effective therapeutically when applied in a personal way, that is by video face to face contact. My counseling style is engaging and inclusive. That is, I am aware of the fact that we all have flaws that require professional intervention.
