About Christi Jones

You are an important and valuable person who is worthy of help and support! Life really can present some situations which are discouraging or seem hopeless. Thoughts and emotions can be complicated and overwhelming. No matter what challenges you are facing you do not have to walk alone. It is my privilege to accept you where you are and join you on your journey. You and I can create a safe place for you to be yourself and tell your story without fear of judgment. While we work at your pace, I can help you find and use your strengths to solve problems and offer some practical tools to overcome obstacles. I am here to guide you through what is holding you back so you can create the life you want and experience it to the fullest.

As a graduate of Oklahoma City University with a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist with more than 20 years of experience. I enjoy working with people of all ages and I have experience in many areas including Anxiety, Depression, Trauma and Abuse, PTSD, Family Conflict, Low Self-Esteem, Grief and Loss, Parenting, Ineffective Boundaries, Anger Management, and Stress Management. I believe you have the expert knowledge about your life and you get to decide the direction you want therapy to go as well as how deep you want to dive into your experiences and feelings. My integrative approach to therapy incorporates techniques which will work best with your particular challenges and comfort level. I can assist you in focused solutions, exploring the way thoughts and beliefs can contribute to negative feelings and behaviors or identifying themes in your life story and finding ways to “write” new chapters with positive outcomes.

You do not have to have a devastating or serious life challenge to benefit from counseling. You may just need a little extra support when feeling stressed, isolated or lonely. Whatever the reason you were brave enough to reach out please know that we can collaborate and build a relationship based on trust and respect so that your needs can be met.
Let’s take the next step together… I look forward to meeting you!

“I’ve only had one session so far, but I felt very comfortable and reassured.”

“Christi is warm and easy to relate to. She understands the complexity of my life and encourages me to take steps to slow down and try to focus on things I can control.”

“I have had only 2 sessions and she's already helping me coping with so many different aspects of my life and she listens to you, really listens to you! She knows you want to be heard and she is not judgemental at all and is very understanding and she makes me feel safe and that means a lot to me because I'm actually able to talk to her without having fear or shame or being embarrassed! I've only know her for 2 sessions, she's amazing, has a wide variety of knowledge and I highly recommend having her as a therapist!”
