I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through times of challenge, transition, and growth.

I received my undergraduate degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago, where I was trained in evidence-based, client-centered approaches to mental health.

In life the most important aspect is the relationship we have with ourselves and others. As a mental health therapist I believe healing happens through connection, understanding, and feeling truly heard. I help individuals navigate the effects of trauma, strengthen relationships, and develop the tools needed to create lasting emotional well being in a warm, nonjudgmental environment.

Hi, I’m Dawn Jones-Wilson, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, substance use concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, supportive, direct, and down-to-earth—I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be yourself. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and help you create the life you want on your own terms.

Hello. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting individuals and families navigating trauma, mental health challenges, and periods of crisis. Throughout my career, I have worked in roles focused on crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and helping individuals manage complex emotional and behavioral concerns. I am committed to creating a supportive and compassionate environment where clients feel safe sharing their experiences and beginning the healing process.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with adolescents and adults as they navigate the challenges life brings. I have experience supporting clients with trauma, depression, anxiety, and a range of other mental health concerns, and I have a particular heart for working with women and families.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door, and you don’t have to worry about being judged. I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and know that you’re not facing things alone.

Offering somatic and energetic focused therapy in Arizona and Kentucky via telehealth:

I support client who identify as neurodivergent, sensitive, empathic, intuitive or creative. With twelve years experience providing trauma-focused support, I weave together talk therapy with somatic (body-focused) techniques, energy psychology and energy therapies for highly effective therapy. My approach supports the holistic self by meeting body, mind, emotion, energy and soul.

We all experience phases of disharmony, ebbs and flows in life, times of thriving, and times of struggle. When those times of struggle manifest as chronic stress, anxiety, complex trauma, depression, unresolved grief, or feeling disconnected from your true self, finding support from a neutral source is a necessary path toward reclaiming who you are.

In addition to my master's education in clinical mental health counseling, I am also a Reiki master-level practitioner and teacher, Certified Yoga Teacher, Spinal Energetics practitioner, and shamanic practitioner. I offer these tools to complement traditional talk therapy.

Holistic healing modalities may include somatic/ body-based psychotherapy, energy psychology, therapeutic yoga and therapeutic meditation.

This integrative approach addresses mind, body, emotion, energy, and soul to restore whole health.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the counseling field. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults ages 14 and older, providing a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

My goal is not to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. Instead, I want to help you better understand yourself, identify what you want for your life, work through the things that may be holding you back, and develop the tools and confidence needed to move forward.

I believe every person has strengths, even during times when those strengths may be difficult to see. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, healing from past experiences, struggling with your self-worth, or simply feeling ready for something to change, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

I aim to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported as we work toward greater calm, clarity, and stability. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you move forward in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.
