Alana Jones, LMFT

Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2014 and has supported people across the lifespan, including young children, adolescents, adults, couples, and whole families. Her background includes work within multiple service systems - mental health organizations, non-public school settings, social services and foster care, and juvenile justice and probation - which informs her ability to navigate complex situations and coordinate care across providers.

Alana has worked with a broad range of concerns, such as depression, stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, post-traumatic stress, and ADHD. She has delivered individual, group, family, and dyadic therapy, and has experience with crisis stabilization, intensive care coordination, case management, intensive home-based support services, and individual rehabilitation services. As an LMFT, she is trained to address relationship and family dynamics alongside individual concerns.

Her clinical stance is client-centered and strengths-focused, helping people identify and build on their existing resources while fostering hope. She takes an eclectic approach when appropriate, drawing from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused perspectives, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and trauma-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person and family. Alana emphasizes collaboration with clients to set goals and adjust treatment as progress is made.
