Jane Sperry Jones (LCMHC)

I have lived my life hard, fast, ugly, and beautiful, discovering what fascinates me the most about people is how we spiral into trouble, overcome our challenges, recover, and change. Because I have lived experience, I have a great deal of empathy and knowledge to offer as a licensed LCMHC and LCAS in North Carolina with 12 years of professional work and 22+ in the field. I usually assist people with a history of trauma, substance use, mental health challenges, and other co-occurring disorders along with adverse conditions such as, stress and anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship/sexual issues. I use approaches for changing deeply rooted behavioral patterns that are psychodynamic in nature such as Re-Decision Therapy (a combination of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis); Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET) which is very similar to EMDR and proven to be just as effective, as well as Narrative Therapy (Therapeutic Writing/Journaling Techniques) training with Kathleen Adams at the Center for Journal Therapy. Ultimately, I use the approach that works best for you., I work with you to develop the skills and mindset so necessary to make the changes you are looking for. I help you to find your own voice in the world so you can own who you are with confidence. All of this is a process, for after all, it is how we endure our inner struggles, become self-aware, apply our insights and skills to better our relationships, that inspires the growth and change we wish to make in our lives.
