MaKayla Jones, LSWAIC

I truly believe that everyone already has the ability to transform their lives. I’m just a vehicle to help you understand and interpret your experiences in a way that better helps you achieve the things you want. I find that empowering others through their own strengths is the most rewarding thing. Being a Black woman with personal experience navigating life in a society as a minority, I feel that it is imperative to incorporate your cultural values and beliefs into the therapeutic process at a level you feel comfortable with.
As a former athlete, I have first-hand experience when it comes to the stress, pressure, toxicity, and hardships that can come with sports as well as the physical, emotional, and mental struggles in the transition of life after sport.
I take a multicultural and intersectional approach to therapy which means that your culture and identity should not only be respected but should be explored as parts of what makes you, you. I may not understand everything about your life, but I do understand that everything you’ve gone through makes you who you are today.
Your experiences are a part of you, but they also don’t define who you are. The resilience and the strengths you have shown in these times of hardship have proven that you have what it takes to break free from the habits and thoughts that keep you from being the best version of yourself. I look forward to supporting your journey of your transformation!
