LGBT therapists in Hanover, MA

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 6 years experience in outpatient therapy, school based therapy, and emergency mental health services. I have a vast background in human services dating back to 2004 supporting folks with developmental disabilities, acquired brain injuries, adult foster care, and homeless populations.

I've spent 12 years working almost exclusively with teens and young

adults — the age ranges that are often the hardest to reach and the

most underserved. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and ADHD, and

I'm trained in Trauma-Focused CBT, which is an evidence-based

approach specifically designed for young people carrying past

experiences that are still affecting the present.

I offer telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, and I specifically

schedule evenings and weekends — because teens are in school and

young adults are at work when most therapists have open slots. I

provide affirming, knowledgeable care for LGBTQ+ teens and young

adults, and I've worked with identity and coming-out concerns for

many years.

I accept insurance through Headway, including Aetna, Blue Cross

Blue Shield, Cigna EAP, Optum, Oxford, and UnitedHealthcare —

including EAP plans, which many young adults have access to

through a parent's employer even into their mid-twenties.

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.

Whether you're in the middle of something difficult or just know that something needs to change, this is a good place to start. You deserve a space where you feel truly understood, and that's exactly what therapy here is designed to offer.

I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use, problem gambling, and those who simply feel stuck or uncertain about their next step. Together, we'll work to uncover what's been holding you back and build toward the life you're looking for.

With a background in athletics and mental performance, I bring a unique perspective to this work, especially for those navigating pressure, confidence, identity, and personal growth.
