Allison Jones

My greatest joy is helping people to overcome obstacles and view themselves in a new way. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone’s healing and seeing people move toward the life they want. I am in awe every day of the strength and resilience of the human spirit; it is my privilege to be invited to facilitate my clients’ healing journey.

Throughout my career, I have helped clients using various evidence-based modalities including cognitive, behavioural, dialectical, and psychodynamic models however, I chose to specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) when my clients required deeper healing. My career has spanned decades serving individuals and families in various settings including residential programs, acute care (general hospital/crisis services) and psychiatric inpatient units. I have also worked in outpatient mental health and geriatric services. Over the past 5 years, I have specialized in trauma and complex trauma.

If you seek a trauma therapist, it is important to ensure that the therapist you choose is not only trauma informed but has specific skills to work with a person with trauma. Regardless of where you go for help, please be sure to find someone who is skilled and who you feel comfortable with. To this end, I invite you to contact me for a free 20-minute telephone or video consultation to discuss how we might work together.
