👋🏼 I’m Jackie Jones, M. Ed., LCSW.
My career story began as a gymnastics coach and an elementary school teacher. I shifted into developing curriculum and teaching people of all ages how to use technology to improve learning.
Later, I stayed home to raise my three children. I became passionate about healthy eating and cooking and completed an 11- month holistic health coaching program through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
My focus shifted again when my youngest child was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I completed DIRFloortime certification which supplemented how I approach neurodiversity, along with my own experience with ADHD.
For the past 10 years, I have viewed my work through the lens of social work and Systems Theory. We are unique individuals who come from unique families, and also interact with our immediate community and larger society. I currently practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).
I bring extensive patience, life experience, education and humor to support the change you choose!
