I’m Shaquilla “Quilla” Jones (she/her/hers), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a deep passion for mental health and well-being. My philosophy as a therapist is simple: “everyone deserves the opportunity to heal.” I believe that therapy isn’t just for the moments when life feels heavy, but also for when we’re stepping into our most authentic selves and seeking clarity or growth. I bring a wealth of experience from both community mental health and sports psychology. In therapy, I take a tailored, person-centered approach because I know that no two people are alike. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and incorporate techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet my clients where they are. I work with a diverse range of individuals, from young adults and student-athletes to professionals and high achievers, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. As a Black Queer Woman, I know how important it is to feel seen and validated in all aspects of your identity, and I strive to create a therapeutic space that is inclusive, affirming, and empowering. I look forward to working with you and creating a space where you can heal, grow, and thrive. Let’s take this journey one step at a time—together.
