Melissa Jones
Hello. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and School Social Worker and have worked in community mental health clinics and school settings. I earned a PhD in transformative learning from the California Institute of Integral Studies and a Master of Social work from the University of New England. The focus of my work is in two areas. One area is the impact of complex trauma on individuals and family systems. In this work I address PTSD caused by long-term family and intimate partner violence and conflict. The other area is how individuals and people in their support systems deal effectively with serious mental illness and dual diagnosis (mental illness with co-occurring substance abuse). In addition to therapy sessions for adults, parents and family units, I also conduct community support groups and educational groups for clients who find value in being part of a setting where thoughts, emotions and different ideas can be safely shared. I appreciate the importance of identifying and building on client strengths. My approach is integrative, meaning I use a variety of therapy approaches to help each client develop achievable goals. I strive to develop an open, encouraging and supportive relationship with each client where we listen to each other and use the power of the therapeutic relationship to drive positive change.
