Melissa Jones, LCSW, ACSW, LMSW
I have worked with a diverse population treating all ages, from teenagers to the elderly. In my practice, I help to build a safe, warm and accepting environment where clients can feel encouraged to express themselves. I use a variety of methods focusing on an approach that is customized to each patient's unique needs and healing process.In my work, I have treated individuals with low self-esteem, distorted body image, eating disorders, panic attacks, and difficult transitions in life. Ultimately, my goal is to assist the patient in any way I can and allow them to obtain a greater understanding of themselves.

Bio
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Master of Social Work with two years of Post Graduate Psychoanalytic Training. In addition to my private practice, I work at Blanton Peale Counseling Center as a staff psychotherapist.I have a large scope of practice experience working with a wide range of individuals with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, academic-related stress, self-destructive behaviors, and recovery from trauma. I believe it is important to understand and respect each and every culture, belief and faith background. I have helped clients feel more empowered by assisting them in obtaining a better awareness of themselves as well as their patterns and triggers.To schedule an initial consultation, please contact me.
