Sarah Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor and an Art Therapist with 10 years of experience in individual therapy and child and family consultation work. She is passionate about combining art therapy and play techniques in her practice to help clients with adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions. During the pandemic, she opened her practice to more adult-focused work, performing telehealth sessions and leading group art therapy for cancer survivors. Sarah completed her Master of Science in Counseling and Art Therapy from Mount Mary University.

Sarah’s framework comes from a community art therapy model and her clinical training hours consisted of working with children and adults who have disabilities and/or who are neurodiverse. Sarah utilizes multiple treatment approaches including mindfulness, person-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed treatment.

Life brings many challenges. Sarah wants to support you through these challenges, helping to inspire your inner artist and healer. You do not need any art experience to seek therapy from Sarah, and if you prefer talk therapy, that is fine too. Sarah believes you are the expert in your life experiences—Sarah is a guide to help you through this tough time.
