We may all come to a moment in our lives where we question ourselves. We question if our thoughts are accurate, if our feelings align with the moment, and if our behaviors are appropriate.

Because we may become consumed with these questions and have trouble finding the answers, I am here to help. My name is Adriana Jones, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I am here to provide guidance with whatever it is that you are struggling with – distressing thoughts, intense emotions, unwanted behaviors, etc. We can learn skills, process our troubles, and begin to understand how to deal with it all.

My personal style as a therapist can be different for each client. If you are a “give it to me straight” type of person, I am more than happy to be assertive and direct. If you need more comfort and softness, I am more than happy to be warm. But I will always incorporate compassion, humor, validation, and kindness within each therapeutic relationship.

I specialize in mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma- and stressor-related disorders (including C-PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and body image issues. I am also here to support individuals struggling with life transitions, daily stressors, relationship challenges, and self-esteem. I utilize several theoretical approaches with my clients: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), several trauma-focused treatments, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Other than enjoying my profession, I love spending time with my cat, friends, and family; attending live music events; taking a walk or bike ride; reading; and exploring Chicago.
