Dr. Barbara Jones

Dr. Barbara Jones is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her Psy.D. at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Originally trained as a registered nurse, she brings a rich understanding of life and health to her current practice with adults of all ages—individual psychotherapy and couples psychotherapy. She describes her practice style as follows:

Life presents us with change of all sorts--you might worry about a medical diagnosis or financial crisis, or grieve a broken relationship. I can help you sift through your experience on the way toward a more joyful, meaningful life. That experience might feel really terrible right now--stress, frustration, disappointment, shame, guilt, anger--and you might feel very alone, unable to talk freely with the people around you. Together we can pay close attention to what's bothering you, and to what you need, so that you can begin to develop a healthier self and more loving, fulfilling relationships.

My therapy style is interactive, compassionate, and supportive. As a nurse, I learned to sit with pain, and to listen to what loss and grief tells us about what, and who, is most important in our lives. As a psychologist, I bring this learning to you, and to your journey.

I hold a special interest in the aging process and how it affects us both in midlife and in later years. I welcome your call.
