Sarah P. Jones, LCMHC

"Being where the client is at is extremely important in therapy because this is their process and experience,"

Sarah Jones is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Registered Art Therapist with 10 years of experience in individual therapy and child/family consultation work. She is passionate about combining art therapy and play techniques in her practice to help clients with adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. During the pandemic, she started to offer more adult-focused work, performing telehealth sessions and leading group art therapy sessions for cancer survivors. Sarah completed her Master of Science in Counseling and Art Therapy from Mount Mary University in 2013.

Sarah’s framework comes from a community art therapy model and her clinical training hours consisted of working with children and adults who have disabilities, have complex trauma histories, and/or who are neurodiverse. Sarah utilizes multiple treatment approaches including mindfulness, person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), sand tray therapy, and trauma-informed therapy treatment. Sarah has been trained in Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation through Georgetown University, Theraplay Level 2, Conscious Discipline brain-based strategies, and art-based interventions involving a range of materials. 

Life brings many challenges. Sarah wants to support you through these challenges, helping to inspire your inner artist and healer. You do not need any art experience to seek therapy from Sarah, and if you prefer talk therapy, that is fine too. Art is a way we can listen to our subconscious and build more awareness. Sarah believes you are the expert in your life experiences—Sarah is a guide to help you through this tough time.
