Alana Jones, LMFT

Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix, awarded in 2014. Alana has worked across a wide range of settings and with diverse populations, including early childhood, adolescents and teenagers, adults, couples, and whole family systems.

Her experience includes supporting clients who have been involved with multiple systems such as mental health organizations, non-public schools, social services and foster care, and juvenile justice or probation. She has addressed concerns including depression, stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, post-traumatic stress, and ADHD.

Alana provides individual, group, family, and dyadic therapy and has also delivered crisis stabilization, intensive care coordination, case management, intensive home-based support services, and individual rehabilitation services. Her practice emphasizes a client-centered, strengths-based approach in which the client guides the direction of care while the therapist helps identify and build on existing resources and resilience.

She draws from an eclectic set of methods to meet each person and family where they are, incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, play-based methods when appropriate, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. Alana focuses on forming a reliable therapeutic alliance, listening carefully, validating experiences, and supporting clients as they work toward goals that improve their quality of life.
