Tara Jones, LPC, CCTS-I
My name is Tara Jones, LPC and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. Your self-care and therapy should be fun and fulfilling! Whether you are looking to find balance to gain energy from the hits your body has taken from stress, relax from always being on guard, or make healthy connections again, I’ve got your back!
Join me for a journey filled with laughter, and healing. I have experienced amazing changes and healing first hand that have come from EMDR therapy in my own personal journey, and have witnessed growth in many clients throughout the years. I understand the struggle, have walked the walk, and have found peace on the other side of healing. I am passionate about helping others go from SURVIVING to THRIVING!
Our experiences can shape the way we view ourselves and the impact trauma has on the mind and body. My approach to therapy is grounded in trauma-informed care using EMDR, IFS, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-focused, and a person-centered approach. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. It is a privilege for me to be a witness to my client’s strengths and healing.

My approach integrates Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you better understand your emotions, reduce anxiety, and feel more connected to yourself. I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space where you can move from questioning yourself and experiencing self-doubt to feeling confident and secure in who you are.

Jenny Mercer, LAC, CTP
I specialize in supporting individuals living with chronic health conditions such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and chronic pain. I understand that managing a long-term diagnosis can affect emotional well-being, relationships, work, and daily life, and I provide a compassionate space to help clients navigate these challenges with greater resilience and confidence.
My practice is grounded in a collaborative, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approach that integrates counseling and coaching strategies. I also support individuals and couples experiencing concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Together, we work to build practical coping skills, foster resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change that supports overall well-being.
