Col Jones

Col is a licensed mental health counselor offering virtual individual and couples therapy throughout Illinois. They specialize in helping clients work through trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, BIPOC issues, perinatal and postpartum issues, and grief. Col's clinical work is rooted in their desire to support individuals and couples through complex and transformative seasons of life, particularly as they navigate the physical, emotional, and psychological shifts that accompany pregnancy, the postpartum period, and parenthood.

Col is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), and perinatal mental health. While incorporating these evidence-based practices with a relational, person-centered approach, Col prioritizes building trust, honoring one's lived experience, and co-creating an affirming, non-judgmental space where their clients feel safe to unpack their emotions, explore their identities, process trauma, and strengthen their relationships with themselves and their partners. 

The perinatal and postpartum period is often seen as a time of joy and celebration, but for many, this experience can also bring up feelings of grief, anxiety, and depression. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or just in need of someone to walk alongside you, I’d be honored to support you on your journey. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are.
