Dana Wise Jones, LCSW
When life has shaped you through pain, your nervous system deserves understanding — not judgment.
You are not broken. You are responding exactly the way a nervous system learns to respond when safety, connection, or stability has been disrupted.
If you carry anxiety that doesn’t make sense, feel emotionally shut down, stay in survival mode, over-function in relationships, struggle with trust, boundaries, or self-worth — there is a reason. Trauma does not only live in memory. It lives in the body, in relationship patterns, in emotional reactions, and in the stories we learned about who we had to be to survive.
My name is Dana Jones, and I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adolescents, young adults, and women who are ready to understand their emotional world — not just cope inside it.
Our work is not about quick fixes or surface-level symptom management. It is about gently uncovering what shaped your nervous system, rebuilding your sense of safety, strengthening your emotional boundaries, and helping you reconnect with your authentic self.
Therapy with me is grounded, relational, and deeply attuned. We move at your pace while still moving forward. We work with both insight and nervous-system awareness — learning how to calm your body, make meaning of your emotional patterns, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I provide a steady, non-judgmental space where your story is honored, your defenses are understood, and your growth is supported with honesty, compassion, and faith-centered grounding.
Trauma-Focused Clinical Work
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in medical, school, court, and crisis settings, including domestic violence and trauma intervention. I specialize in working with:
- Childhood trauma and complex trauma
- Relationship trauma and betrayal
- Anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and chronic stress
- Shame, self-esteem, and identity wounds
- Parenting stress and generational patterns
- ADHD, depression, and trauma-related symptoms
My integrative approach blends trauma-informed care, nervous-system regulation, CBT, mindfulness, and relational insight — always tailored to your lived experience.
Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about becoming safe inside yourself again.
If you are ready to begin that work, I will meet you there.
