Hi, I’m Dr. Alyssa Jones
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who serves Orange County, CA and California-wide via Telehealth.
I have worked in many different settings throughout my career. Most recently, I worked at Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) for 8 years on inpatient medical floors, outpatient clinics, and in mental health services. I helped develop and run an inpatient psychiatric mental health unit and crisis outpatient mental health service. As you can see, I have dedicated most of my career to ending stigma around mental health, trauma-informed care, and suicide prevention.
I absolutely love working with teens and young adults, as it is such a complex, fun, wild, and confusing time of life with so many changes. I pay special attention to different identities people have, and how the intersection of these identities may relate to past or current challenges especially in the context of their environment.
I received my Doctorate and Master’s of Arts in Psychology from Pepperdine University. I completed undergrad at San Diego State University.
My Approach
Therapy will be tailored to your specific concern or problem with the overarching goal to decrease suffering and improve the quality of your life. You may also have your own goals of what you would like to get out of therapy and I would love to hear your ideas as well. I focus on understanding the roots of your challenges and how to effectively move through them now with increased understanding to create new patterns and skills to use in current situations.
Working with me
In our initial appointments, we will discuss a treatment plan which will include goals, expectations, and estimated length of treatment. I am an affirming therapist and welcome clients of all identities and backgrounds.
