About Keyira Jones

Just like you, I am an agent of change! Licensed in Illinois with 3 years of professional therapeutic work experience, I sincerely enjoy helping those that need it the most navigate their human experience. I have significant experience in partnering with clients for developing and engaging with coping, self compassion and self care practices in response to stress and anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, complex trauma, & even internal challenges like lack of motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. You deserve peace & you can have more joy. Taking the first step to engaging with life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. My therapy modalities & expertise include CFT, CBT, DBT, ACT, RFT, & FAP therapy; I also utilize Trauma Recovery Models, EMDR and Motivational Interviewing in my practice as needed. I am fond of using innovative evidenced based practices, so let’s connect, assess, and find what works best for you on your journey.
