Ilissa Jones, MA LPCC, LADC

   Hello! Are you struggling with any of the following issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, grief and loss, relationship issues or do you just want to better understand yourself?  I enjoy working with men, women, young adults, teens, families and couples. I also have experience in working with, families with addiction issues, health care professionals and understand the struggles of needing support to address issues that come with being in a caretaker role. I believe everyone has a unique story with unique experiences that make us who we are today.  However, some of us have experiences that lead to unwanted emotions including shame, fear and low self-worth. I am a true believer that everyone is capable of finding their inner strength and using their courage to become a happier and healthier version of themselves. Once there, they can begin to find self-worth, acceptance and belonging in their story moving forward.  My goal as a therapist is to provide a respectful, encouraging and safe setting where you can begin to process some of your most significant life experiences and begin to find hope, understanding and bring light back into your life. I use a variety of evidence based treatments to help you move from problem focused to solution focused.
