I am a licensed psychologist in Illinois with over 20 years of experience. My clinical focus is working with clients who report a wide range of concerns related to depression and anxiety; trauma and grief; relationship conflicts and concerns; alcohol and drug misuse; anger management; adult ADHD challenges; and job and career stress.
Both my therapy and coaching styles are person-centered, values-based, and solution-focused. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and unconditional positive regard. My multimodal approach to therapy combines focused acceptance and commitment (FACT), cognitive-behavioral, humanistic-existential, harm reduction, and self-help facilitation therapies. I tailor all therapy sessions and treatment plans to meet clients' unique and specific needs.
With solution-focused therapy, it takes openness, awareness, and committed action to increase psychological flexibility and to achieve a more fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you to support and facilitate such change efforts.
Respectfully, John Jones, Ph.D.
