About Me

LaTanya E. Jones

MSM, NIC, MSW, MEd, LMSW, C-PST

Compassionate, Trauma-Focused Psychotherapist

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! My name is LaTanya E. Jones, and I am a licensed social worker and certified psychotherapist offering trauma-focused, culturally responsive therapy for adults and couples. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore personal struggles, relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, and emotional well-being.

My work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I specialize in Brainspotting to support the processing of trauma and emotional pain, psychosexual therapy for sexual health and relationship concerns, and problem gambling counseling. I am knowledgeable about issues impacting marginalized communities, including the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, I am a nationally certified sign language interpreter and offer accessible therapy services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals.

So many of us have learned to survive by staying quiet, being strong, or disconnecting from our needs and desires, often at the expense of our humanity. In our work together, I invite you to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have been silenced, protected, or forgotten, at a pace that feels safe and supportive.
