I am an optimistic person and believe in seeing the best in people. My ambition as a counselor is to help each individual live up to their potential and to assist them in achieving their goals. My experiences in elementary and middle school settings and private counseling practice have helped me succeed in helping individuals identify and change their way of thinking while finding the best version of themselves.
I am Amy Jones, a nationally certified Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, cross-licensed in Washington. I'm a Licensed School Psychologist in Texas, as well as a clinical psychology student at the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB). I have over 15 years of experience in education across K–12 campuses and more than four years of counseling experience in both school and private practice settings. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and teens, and supports clients facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction, life transitions, low self-esteem, career challenges, and stress.
I utilize evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to provide compassionate, developmentally appropriate care and help clients become the best version of themselves.
My therapeutic goal is to empower individuals to help themselves by building insight, resilience, and practical coping skills.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in PTSD/trauma therapy is, first off, validating their experience and normalizing their emotions. I help clients understand that their responses to their trauma are often coping skills that are self-protective, despite them sometimes not being healthy or helpful coping skills. My approach is to teach new and more helpful coping skills while we process the trauma.
I teach the following tools in PTSD/trauma therapy: challenging negative thoughts, grounding exercises, mindfulness, CBT techniques, and self-care to name a few.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when the client reports fewer episodes of anxiety, flashbacks, and depression and improved overall moods. When clients report the use of healthier coping skills, it is an indication of improvement.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by making a commitment to the work discussed in therapy, practicing the new skills, possibly attending peer support groups.
To prepare for their first PTSD/trauma therapy session, someone can be open and honest about their experiences. If sessions are to be on Zoom, check internet speed, have a place that is safe and private, and plan not to be driving.
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
