Tashana Jones MFT-Intern

 Hey, my name is Sam.

I'm a Clinical Professional Counselor Intern. My affection for Mental Health therapy began in my early 20s while I was working on accepting the loss of my daughter. During my time in treatment, I told myself that "there had to be an opposite to pain, anger, disappointment, neglect, and numbness. We cannot be stuck this way”. From that moment on, I knew that this career chose me to help as many people as I could become fulfilled in their lives.

I began my educational journey in 2016 at the University of Phoenix. I earned my master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2020. I have been practicing mental health counseling since 2018 by interning at the Canyon Ridge Counseling Center. Since practicing, I have had experiences treating Grief, Loss, Bereavement, Communication Problems, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Bullying, Stress management, and Self-care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Journaling, and Mindfulness-Based therapy are the therapeutic methods/approaches that I frequently use to aid clients in reaching their full potential during their time in therapy.

I believe that the critical components of the therapeutic alliance are respect and trust. These components must be mutual between therapist and client to maintain healthy boundaries and success. Difficulties can arise within this relationship as with others but how each one handles these moments is essential to the relationship's success. 

As a wife, a mother to three children, and maintaining my blended bilingual family, I rarely have time to myself, but I would not have it any other way. I enjoy the movies, bowling, and eating with my family. No matter how hectic my daily life is, when you are ready to begin your journey to a healthier You, I am here.

My education began at California State University of Fresno where I achieved my undergraduate degree in Social Work. I quickly followed a graduate degree in Counseling Psychology at National University in California. Over the course of 15 years, I have worked with the foster care and incarcerated population. I have also spent time at the Marjorie Mason Center's Domestic Violence Shelter working with women and their children through physical and emotional trauma in California.

My current areas of interest include Evidence Based, Strength Based, Solution Focused, Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I take pride in helping you develop and accomplish your goals.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I value positivity, laughter and smiles.
