Stepfan Jones, LICSW, TF-CBT TRAINED

Hi, I am Stepfan Jones. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and I enjoy working with all types of individuals in various walks of life. I have worked with individuals with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and anger issues to name a few. Working to help individuals cope with life’s challenges. I have also spent time in the school system working with adolescents with school issues and life challenges, as well as, with college students as a spiritual counselor and life coach.

What Led Me To Becoming A Therapist

I have always been obsessed with helping others find their way. When I was younger I remember times at theme parks and play places were I took much delight in helping smaller lost children find their parents. Their parents would give me a token of appreciation, but I loved the feeling of knowing I helped someone in need. Going into my adolescent years I took an interest in wanting to understand why people responded to various life situations in the manner that they did. Which long story short, eventually lead to my desire to learn more about the mind and how to help people heal this vital aspect of their lives. I had a deep interest in sociology and psychology classes in high school and pursued it later in college, after a brief detour as a Physical therapist. Later I could no longer fight that I enjoyed healing the mind more than the body and that led me to where I am today.

What I want for you during our sessions

Finding a balance and true happiness starts with self, and having a therapist that is a good fit for you is a start. Asking for help and seeking counseling is the first step. I take pride in the therapeutic relationship and strive to help my clients get to the next level of realistic and ideal change in their lives to reach their full potential. “The Goal is to be a Little Bit Better Today Than You Were Yesterday.” This is the motto I live by each and everyday. Not to be perfect or without flaws, but to just try and be a better version of yourself each day. We all have struggles, it helps to not struggle alone. If you are struggling with anything, Let me Help Support You!!

My education

I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Southern Maine and hold a master’s degree in Social Work from Simmons University in Boston. I am a learner at heart. I am invested in deepen my knowledge and my skills through ongoing training and consultation. I am trained in Trauma Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

A significant portion of my past clinical experience has been working in the non-profit world with individuals who wrestled with substance use challenges. I also spent time in the school systems working with children experiencing various challenges.

I love working with children and families, with one of my favorite quotes being “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”
