I have lived my life hard, fast, ugly, and beautiful, discovering what fascinates me the most about people is how we spiral into trouble, overcome our challenges, recover, and change. Because I have lived experience, I have a great deal of empathy and knowledge to offer as a licensed LCMHC and LCAS in North Carolina with 12 years of professional work and 22+ in the field. I usually assist people with a history of trauma, substance use, mental health challenges, and other co-occurring disorders along with adverse conditions such as, stress and anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship/sexual issues. I use approaches for changing deeply rooted behavioral patterns that are psychodynamic in nature such as Re-Decision Therapy (a combination of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis); Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET) which is very similar to EMDR and proven to be just as effective, as well as Narrative Therapy (Therapeutic Writing/Journaling Techniques) training with Kathleen Adams at the Center for Journal Therapy. Ultimately, I use the approach that works best for you., I work with you to develop the skills and mindset so necessary to make the changes you are looking for. I help you to find your own voice in the world so you can own who you are with confidence. All of this is a process, for after all, it is how we endure our inner struggles, become self-aware, apply our insights and skills to better our relationships, that inspires the growth and change we wish to make in our lives.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jane Sperry Jones. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My time with Jane went beyond my expectations. She did more than just listen, she taught me a lot about personally and gave me tools for moving through my relationships. I'm grateful we were connected.
