Hello, my name is Christie Jones and I am a licensed clinical independent social worker, licensed to practice in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. I have been clinically licensed for 12 years and have a variety of experience working with many different people from different walks of life. My approach to therapy is very direct. I am warm and compassionate and do my best to help my clients lead functional and productive lives.
Welcome! I'm excited to help you overcome self-doubt, manage work-related anxiety and stress, and navigate toxic or unaffirming work/academic environments. I specialize in working with Black professional women and students struggling with these areas and have been a therapist for 15 years.
Life can bring moments that feel heavy, confusing, or overwhelming—whether from anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, or loss of direction. You may feel stuck or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and create a path toward emotional clarity, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the “why” behind your challenges and help you move toward a calmer, more balanced, and empowered version of yourself.
Hi would you want to join me in your success story?I have been licensed in MA for over twenty years. I have helped families, couples and individuals navigate rough times with great success. I would love to help you!
My name is Celena, and I have a master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and LMHC licensed. I studied at William James College, where I received 2 extensive years of clinical experiential practice before graduating in 2023. Most of my work pertains to children and families, with ages ranging from 5-70 years old. I provide individual therapy to children and caregivers, as well as conduct joint family sessions.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe that mental well-being is foundational to living a fulfilling and connected life. Taking the step to begin therapy can be challenging, and I commend you for making that choice. Over the course of my career in college and community mental health, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate substance use, addiction, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with motivation. My goal is to create a compassionate, judgment-free environment where growth and healing can take root.
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years' experience, who specializes in helping adults learn skill to cope with anxiety, trauma, depression and difficult relationship experiences, including narcissistic abuse and coercive control.
Clients often tell me they feel deeply heard, validated, and understood in our work together. I balance insight oriented exploration with practical tools you can use in your daily life.
My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.
I am a certified cognitive behavioral therapist who is also mindful of the emotions we feel as humans. I believe therapy is holistic—mind, body, and well-being. My goal is to create a safe and judgment-free place to help guide and support you. I was previously an elementary school teacher. I am neurodivergent and enjoy working with the neurodivergent population.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Arlington, MA
Searching for couples therapists in Arlington starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Arlington couples therapy options, look for a therapist with specific couples training. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, may be a strong fit for relationship-focused care.
In a smaller market like Arlington, finding one therapist who works for both partners can take added coordination. Virtual couples therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to Arlington therapists who fit your schedule and preferences. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether the session format works for both partners. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure couples sessions, which relationship concerns they focus on, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit.
Counseling in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who offer couples therapy, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse profiles, check availability, and look for a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
