FOUNDER |
Dr. Cornelius JonesIn private practice my goal is to help improve the lives of the clients that walk through my door with compassion and commitment. I utilize talk therapy as a tool to move people from a place of brokenness back to the place of wholeness where they belong. I use integrative therapy modalities to help clients change negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to better their lives. The therapeutic counseling approaches used by me are based on several years of experience, studying, and original research to benefit the individuals that I work with. My focus is to aide clients heal the invisible scars created from the human experience.
My professional belief is that counseling is a journey and should end in a natural state, where the client walks away with the start of awareness and insight to move forward in a healthy way. Although I don't support the idea that every emotional challenge we face requires a clinical diagnosis, I'm aware that those challenges may require professional clinical experience. |
About me
I served nearly 20 years in the United States military. As a veteran, I'm familiar with the personal challenges and sacrifices that those that serve and their families face as they adjust to post military life. My personal experience as a combat veteran and my years in clinical counseling makes me uniquely qualified to serve active duty families, veterans, and civilians within the city of Jacksonville, FL and beyond. I work with clients to help them set realistic and attainable goals to begin the healing process that result in personal growth and freedom. As a provider, my goal is to help facilitate wholeness of heart and mind. Each of my services are designed to help you find the next right step to changing the "Tug of War" of dysfunction into a "Plan for Peace."
My education and clinical experience in counseling include an undergraduate degree in Sociology, a master's degree in Human Relations, a master's degree in Christian Counseling, and a Ph.D., in Counseling Psychology. I completed my clinical practicum through the Surface Warfare Medical Institute, in San Diego CA. I have additional experience in couple's therapy, substance abuse, and Pastoral Counseling. I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Telehealth Provider, and a Certified Grief Counselor. My special areas of professional interest are research on trauma, solution-focused brief therapy, change theory, and client centered approaches to treatment.
I'm a member of the following professionals associations:
American Counseling Association
Association of Black Psychologists
International Association of Trauma Professionals
American Christian Counselors Association
Association for Clinical Pastoral Education
