Creating safety within a non-judgmental environment is vital to begin the journey of recovery and healing. Each person has their own unique set of beliefs, experiences and needs. I collaborate with clients to identify the goals and direction of therapy. My clients are insightful, creative, intelligent people who are working to attain specific goals, make difficult life transitions, or work through the internal and external struggles of previous experiences.
I use a combination of CBT and trauma-focused techniques. My background is a Master's of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University, as well as a Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology from Harding University. I have additional training in grief and trauma therapy.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Grief, Anger management, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Control issues, Family of origin issues, Family problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Impulsivity, Isolation / loneliness, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Women's issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

I cannot say enough good about Shawnda. She is kind, empathetic, respectful, and caring. She is so good at calling me out when my thinking is wrong, but is quick to treat me with understanding and help me move forward. This has been the worst year of my life and Shawnda has been one of the only constants for me and I’ll always be grateful for her wisdom!

I only briefly worked with Shawnda, but she was nice and listened to my concerns in a non judgmental way. We didn’t have much time to work on things, but I felt validated.

Shawnda Jones has been wonderful for me in my experience. I have a very complex situation at home and she was very patient to learn and remember the nuances of what I'm dealing with. Very helpful even in a short time already!
