About Patrick Jones
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor
Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor
For more than 18 years, I have helped individuals and families work through mental health and substance use challenges. This has included individual and group therapy, crisis counseling, case management, and the development of clinical programs from the ground up. I’ve worked with clients in outpatient and residential treatment, military and community-based services, and specialized addiction programs.
I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR trauma work. Much of my work has been with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.
Experience and approach are only part of therapy. Just as important is a relationship where you feel respected, comfortable, and understood. Therapy should be practical and collaborative and should connect to the life you actually live rather than staying inside the therapy room.

The Collective Approach
Whole-person, not symptom-focused
Effective therapy should look beyond symptoms alone and make space for what a steady life is built on: relationships, community, purpose, and finding enjoyment along the way.
Evidence-Based and Practical
I use established therapeutic approaches while keeping the focus on what is useful to you between sessions. Understand yourself better, feel better, function better, connect more meaningfully, and make lasting change.
Collaborative, Not Prescriptive
You are the expert on your own life. I bring clinical training, perspective, and tools, and we decide together what makes sense for your goals. Therapy is a partnership, not a lecture.
Connection as Healing
We are not meant to do this alone. It is why I offer groups and workshops alongside individual therapy. Family, friendship, and community provide perspective, accountability, support, and belonging.
