" Hi! My name is Simone Jones, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who works with children and adolescents. I earned my graduate training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My professional background includes community health, school-based support, and both in-home and clinic work with children and families from diverse backgrounds. I believe children do best when they feel safe, understood, and supported. My therapeutic approach is warm, compassionate, and interactive, incorporating play-based techniques, age-appropriate cognitive behavioral strategies, emotional regulation skills, and strengths-based support. I value collaboration with caregivers and work closely with families to help children build coping skills, confidence, and emotional awareness across home, school, and community settings. Outside of work, I enjoy organizing spaces, being creative, listening to music, and taking time to reset and reflect. I am naturally drawn to activities that promote calm, clarity, and balance, and I often bring these values into my work with children. A fun fact about me is that my favorite game is Uno. I enjoy using games and activities to help kids feel comfortable, open up, and build skills in a relaxed and engaging way."
