Services Offered

I offer professional services for adults in the following areas:

  • Individual Counseling

    Life can be full of problems, anxiety, dead-end situations, or can just feel empty sometimes. During our individual counseling sessions, I can help you identify and understand your particular situation. Together, we can work on finding the courage to address your situation and initiate positive changes in your life.


    Where can individual counseling help?

    • Personal enrichment
    • Self-determination
    • Dealing with depression and anxiety
    • Dealing with loss and trauma

    How does it work?


    I help people understand their feelings and needs. Together we will develop strengths and skills necessary to initiate positive changes in your life. In our sessions, we will:

    • Discuss current problems or goals
    • Identify early problem-solving skills
    • Examine patterns of relating to others
    • Develop goal-oriented strategies
    • Assess personal resources
    • Learn tools and techniques for changing old patterns of behavior and implementing decisions and choices

  • Testing & Assessment

    When a person wants to identify their specific needs, diagnostic testing and assessment can provide reliable answers.


    These answers can provide clarity to the individual, guide the course of counseling therapy toward beneficial outcomes, evaluate potential outcomes of an elective treatment or surgical procedure, or may help satisfy insurance coverage.


    As a licensed Psychologist, Dr. Jones can perform diagnostic testing and assessment services, including:

    • General mental health diagnosis (DSM 5)
    • Pre-surgical screening
    • Compensation and pension evaluations
    • Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)
    • Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI)
    • Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI)
    • 16 Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF)
    • Shipley Institute of Living Scale (SILS)
    • Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)
    • Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)
    • Rotter Sentence Completion Blanks

    If you have specific questions about these or other services not listed here, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to return your call and discuss the benefits and limitations of diagnostic assessment.


Counseling is a personal relationship between unique individuals which requires mutual trust, openness, and honesty. To establish this trust, it is important that you find a counselor whom is a suitable match for you.

 

I would like to invite you for a preliminary consultation so that we can get to know each other and choose the right direction. This talk is free and without any obligation. Feel free to call me at any time at +1 816-785-9657 or use the contact form to set up an appointment or ask additional questions.

 

If you are in need of therapy for your adolescent or child, I would be happy to provide a referral to a practitioner who works with children.

 

Thank you for considering my services.
