Your intuition is your superpower.
Meet Naeisha Jones, LCSW
Hi, I’m Naeisha and I help people-pleasing, high-achieving women, wives, and mothers learn how to relax and stop feeling bad about saying the word “no” and choosing their own peace.
I work with boss women who are confident in their ability to juggle everything from their careers and businesses to their relationships and kids’ busy schedules. They are the CEO’s in their home and workplace and pillars in their communities. Their magnetic energy allows them to shine in any social situation. In fact, people are often attracted to their magnetic personalities and ability to make any situation better because they pay attention to detail and think about things deeply before attempting to add their greatness. They have high expectations in every area of their life but they are afraid to say NO and afraid to take a day off or even rest for that matter. Their intuition is usually spot on but they ignore it for fear of upsetting the people they love——also known as people-pleasing.
Sounding vaguely familiar?
You’ve been conditioned by your family and society to be strong, productive, and exceptional without complaining. You are so used to listening to everyone else’s emotional struggles but you seldom have a go-to person that will lend a listening ear. Lately, it’s started to weigh on you but you feel guilty for feeling overwhelmed and don’t know who to turn to.
But, you’re here now and I know you’re ready for change.
I know you are fed up with being all things to everyone you know and feeling tired of not having the energy to take care of yourself. You are ready to set boundaries around your time and energy to create a lifestyle that supports your need to rest and invest in your own wellness without feeling guilty or uneasy.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
Therapy with me is easy, down-to-earth, compassionate, and collaborative.
In our work together you will feel deeply supported, seen, and heard. In this space, you will get to relax, unwind, and just feel supported. You will experience opportunities to grow and reflect. You'll gain insight into the root of your difficulties and how to identify the patterns that have presented challenges for you over time. You will learn practical skills that you can apply to everyday life outside of sessions. You will learn to develop skills that help you set appropriate boundaries without feeling guilty and learn how to manage your emotional needs without hesitation.
In therapy with me, you will be empowered to hold space for yourself through various mindfulness techniques. Along with traditional talk therapy, we may practice guided meditation, breathing techniques, or even yoga poses to bring balance. After therapy with me, you will feel equipped to take on the emotional challenges that once felt so heavy and complicated. You will learn how to breathe again and feel supported on your journey. The insight you will gain will provide you with an inner peace that allows you to feel safe to express your emotions and show up as your authentic self in every area of your life.
I recognize that everyone’s journey is unique and I honor your individual experience. My role is to meet you where you are and join with you to help you process the challenges you are facing and provide you with insight and reflection.
Methods & Modalities
Mindfulness
I integrate mindfulness principles throughout treatment, as I believe these can serve as an anchor to support you in the therapeutic process. I encourage mindful movement as a component of my treatment plans to help with consistency, improvement of mood, and measurable success.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
I incorporate cognitive and behavioral principles throughout the course of treatment, utilizing my extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) where it applies to your unique treatment needs.
Internal Family Systems & Polyvagal Theory
I utilize an integrative approach rooted in principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Polyvagal Theory. IFS focuses on healing the wounded parts and restoring balance & harmony. Polyvagal Therapy focuses on the dysregulation of the nervous system. I integrate the two by teaching calming techniques through movement or meditation to regulate the nervous system when engaging with the wounded parts to restore balance.
Yoga
I loften, incoroprate principles of yoga into our sessions. Whether it is a yoga pose, breath work, or meditation, I believe that it teaches valuable practical skills that can be used to relieve stress and keep you centered. Did you know that yoga not only includes the movement that you often see called Asana but also incorporates your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors?
