Shirley Jones, Licensed Professional Counselor
About Me?

Shirley Jones, LPC

Life is a journey, and sometimes we need a little help navigating it!

Formal Education and Training:
I hold a Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Portland State University.  I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon.

I offer over 20 years of experience counseling working with individuals (adolescents & adults), couples and families who are dealing with life challenges which include depression, anxiety, relationship stress/issues, work stress, substance abuse, post traumatic stress, and grief.  I also have over 20 years experience working in a corporate environment. My belief is that everyone has the ability to grow and change to live the life that they imagined.  Therapy may be short term if you are dealing with situational stress, coaching, or pain. Therapy will last longer if you are seeking to change self-sabotaging coping strategies, beliefs, or behavior. 

Depression, anxiety, and family stress often are present when you are living with challenges like addiction, post traumatic stress, or other life challenges.  Addressing all aspects are important while moving toward your greatest potential of living the life that you imagined.

My approach to therapy
My therapeutic is a holistic approach is to help patients better understand themselves by developing insight to their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to cultivate the life that have you imagined or dreamed possible.  I provide a safe and supportive environment to earn your trust to work on things that are the most challenging in your life.  I know that it takes courage to reach out for help. Whatever brings us together, you will be welcomed with honesty and warmth to enable you to do your best work.
