Kendall Jones

Kendall Jones draws her work as a psychotherapist from a wide range of life experiences, including encounters with different cultures and languages, extensive travel, and her own deep inward searches for meaning. She often likens that search to Santiago’s journey in Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, noting that many people seek the same longings she has explored - to love, to be loved, and to discover something greater within themselves.

She acknowledges that the path can feel long and difficult. People may arrive feeling sad, hopeless, frustrated, overwhelmed, numb, anxious, fearful or even terrified, disappointed in themselves, or betrayed by others. Some have experienced or witnessed traumatic events that leave them without a sense of meaning. Others carry anger or resentment about what did or did not happen, or feel abandoned, left behind, rejected for who they are, or simply lost and unsure of who they have become or where they are headed.

What Kendall brings to therapy are insights learned both from academic study and, importantly, from her own extensive life experience. Her approach is personal and genuine, centered on the client, and focused on affirming strengths, sustaining hope, helping to find meaning, and offering unconditional acceptance.

For those seeking a companion rather than an all-knowing guide, Kendall offers compassionate, caring, insightful, and understanding support as someone who will walk beside a person on their journey. She is licensed in California as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work.
