Jennifer Jones , LCSW

Jennifer Jones is a California licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings more than 18 years of experience in the mental health field and a relational, strengths-based approach to therapy. She holds two master's degrees - one in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (now Alliant International University) and another in social work from San Jose State University - and combines clinical training with a deep interest in arts, spirituality, synchronicity, intuition, nature, and travel. Her therapeutic stance is supportive and nurturing, grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard, and she places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a primary catalyst for change.

Jennifer integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies with client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, and elements of narrative and Jungian-influenced work, including occasional dream exploration. She has focused six years on individual therapy while accumulating broad experience across community mental health, corrections, drop-in centers, residential treatment, mobile crisis response, and inpatient settings. Her background also includes more than 18 years of management experience in behavioral health as well as roles in health education, where she taught classes such as Improving Your Sleep, Couples Communication, Anger Management, and Managing Anxiety, Depression, and Stress.

As a certified trainer in WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) and an Intentional Peer Support Trainer, Jennifer emphasizes client empowerment, practical coping skills, and goal-driven work. She has supported adults facing trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating and clutter issues, psychosis, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and a range of relationship and intimacy concerns. Jennifer aims to collaborate with each person to customize treatment, helping them build meaning, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want.
