My Name is Lisa Smallwood-Jones and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. I am very passionate about offering Evidence Based Counseling and giving my clients the tools needed to accomplish their goals. I work with clients age 12 and up who suffer with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Stress, Relational, Substance disorders, Transition Adjustment, etc.

My counseling style is empathetic, genuine, and grounded in passion for helping people make meaningful change. I believe clients are the experts on their own experiences. I take a collaborative approach, incorporating Client Centered Therapy, CBT, Trauma Informed CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and techniques from my 20+ years of counseling.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, culturally sensitive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their treatment and personal growth.

"As a clinician, I strive to deliver care that is skilled, compassionate, culturally sensitive, and rooted in the belief that every client deserves to be seen, heard and valued."

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I decided to become a counselor because it aligned with my strong desire to help people through their darkest moments.

What types of clients do you work best with?

I work best with clients that are willing to make personal change and are open to trying different approaches.

What's one thing you wish all clients knew about therapy, mental health, or the healing process?

Rehabilitation is available to all.

What can clients expect in their first session with you and in the early stages of therapy?

To be heard and to know their Client Rights as well as the Limits of Confidentiality.

What personal experiences or values inform your practice as a therapist/provider?

My belief that healing begins with connection, trust, and the understanding that every person has the capacity for growth and change.

How do you tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs?

I adapt my therapeutic techniques based on the client's needs, age, cultural background, communication style, personal values and readiness to change. I regularly check in with client to ensure we are still on track and adjusting when needed.
