 I believe the path to wellness involves taking a deeply personal journey back to self. We cannot fully connect with others without first connecting with ourselves. My name is Crystalyn Jones, and I have been a Licensed Counselor in Arizona since 2015. I am an EMDR trained therapist that specializes in complex trauma. I utilize Structural Dissociation Theory along with EMDR to help people integrate parts of themselves and find resolution to unprocessed trauma. Meditation personally changed my life, so I enjoy encompassing mindfulness into my practice and teaching even the busiest minds how to meditate.

I specialize in Complex Trauma, EMDR, Structural Dissociation Theory & Addictions. I am TRIPP certified to conduct Medication Assisted Psychotherapy to help integrate psychedelic experiences. I utilize various modalities from theoretical approaches including: EMDR, Structural Dissociation, DBT, CBT, REBT, ACT & Motivational Interviewing. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Arizona State University in 2007 and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix in 2015. The path to wellness was never intended to be walked alone and seeking support can allow us to reach our highest potential. There is hope.

  Hello and welcome, I am so happy you’re here! I provide individual, trauma-informed therapy to adults and children. Living in a world of constant changes and obstacles can be challenging. People seek therapy for many different reasons, but everyone has a story worth sharing. Together, we can find and build the strength you have inside to face life’s inevitable uncertainties.

I have worked in direct clinical practice with clients suffering from anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Play Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Yoga and Mindfulness. My services are available in  Spanish and English. 

Whether it is your first-time seeking therapy or your 100th time, reaching out can feel intimidating. I work to create a non-judgmental, safe space for clients to share whatever feels comfortable at a pace that works for them. I am so proud of you for seeking help and appreciate you for considering me in your journey towards healing!

  Hi there! I strongly believe that life's challenges can sometimes leave us feeling confused, hopeless, and hurt. My mission is to walk alongside my clients ages 6 and up, as they embark on their journey of self-discovery and healing. Together, we collaboratively work towards creating the meaningful  connections they seek. 

 My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Psychodynamic theory and the lens of  Relational Cultural Therapy. I aim to assist my clients in identifying maladaptive patterns,  healing from past experiences, and gaining insight into how their past unconsciously influences  their behavior. With training in CBT, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT, I am equipped to address  a wide range of issues including ADHD, trauma, relational difficulties, anxiety, depression,  attachment struggles, behavioral issues, and life adjustments. I also incorporate mindfulness  interventions into my sessions.

  My goal is to create a safe space that fosters trust, open communication, and empathy so that  my clients can discover what a life worth living looks like for them.

   Hello! I am Makayla Barnes, an LAC here at Innerlight counseling, welcome! Helping people work on their mental health has always been a passion of mine. As a counselor, I strive to build therapeutic relationships with my clients and to provide a safe, accepting, judgment free environment for them to learn, heal, and grow. This not only includes discovering the tools you already possess, but also learning more strategies and identifying additional strengths to overcome the obstacles you face in your life. Part of this work involves changing the challenging thoughts and beliefs that are holding you back, and replacing those thoughts and beliefs with encouraging and empowering self-perceptions.

I have experience working with clients from ages 5-65 years of age and see both couples and individuals. I generally work with Anxiety, Depression, Adjustment Disorder, Chronic Trauma. Issues I have experience with are low self-esteem, divorce, relational issues, anger management, social anxiety, low motivation, life stressors, etcetera. My main theoretical approaches are CBT, DBT, and Rogerian/Client-Centered, but I have incorporated differing kinds of approaches and interventions such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivation Interviewing, Psychoanalysis and more.

I graduated from U of A with a BA in Psychology and completed my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. I am receiving direct clinical supervision from AZBBHE approved Crystalyn Jones, LPC.

Now accepting new clients! WEEKDAY AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS. BOTH IN-PERSON and FLEXIBLE TELEHEALTH OPTIONS.

Let’s get real. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Seeking out a therapist who can help you on that path is the first step. How can I help you?

Many people see therapy as a very one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. In my approach, you will find that I keep it real! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing both yourself and your world in new ways. Your therapy does not always need to be painful.

Our lives are too short to surrender to bad relationships, hold grudges, let trauma control us, or be anxious/angry all the time. You deserve to be free of emotional pain and able to take everything that comes your way and respond to it with wisdom and peace. You deserve to find meaning/purpose in work, family, friendships, spirituality, and all other life areas.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Gottman approaches (Couples therapy). I can utilize other modalities as needed. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, substance addictions, sexual addictions/disorders, and couples counseling. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Arizona University which builds on over twenty years of work with clients in community corrections. I have helped individuals and couples find healing and understanding in desperate situations. Give me a call and let’s continue to write your story!

  Hello there. If you are here, you are likely seeking something. What I offer is my genuine connected presence combined with the skills and knowledge to truly help. I offer my compassion and eyes that see what others miss. My promise is that even if no one else truly sees you, I will. I cannot tell you I have been through what you have, because that would be a lie. What I can promise is that I can sit with you in your darkness, and never lose sight of your light and your potential, even if you can’t see it, and offer my deep belief that it is in your grasp to remember your truth and your purpose. I can tell you I don’t run from my own darkness so yours won’t shock me. I can tell you that my greatest strength is that I always choose love and what is true.  

My approach is holistic, incorporating mind, body, and spirit. Come as you are, and I will do what I can to help you find your strength and your light. Our work will likely not be easy, but I will be with you every step of the way. 

I have 20 years of experience working with people who are struggling, or who are trying to escape or manage deep pain. I received my master’s degree in social work in 2005 from Arizona State University. Since that time, I have worked with ages 12 to 95, and with individuals from varied backgrounds including those who have been in the foster care system, justice involved individuals and families, and people struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, or just managing this thing called life, which can be so overwhelming, isolating, and unpredictable.    

I utilize motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, Somatic experiencing, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other mindfulness-based strategies. I have found that what is most important is I have an ability to truly, deeply hear what people are saying. If I feel I am not what you need I will tell you and hope you will do the same. I invite you to reach out and we will find out together.
