Professional statement
Dr. William James Jones is a Licensed Psychologist and the founder of The Jones Psychology Group, which opened in the spring of 2019 and has since become one of the premier Mental Health Group Practice for patients in the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Jones's cares about the satisfaction of his clients, and guarantees top of the line Integrative Depth Psychology® services to help people return to full mental, emotional, and behavioral health.
It is Dr. Jones's passion and goal to help clients thrive mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. He uses an Integrative Depth Psychology® approach, borrowing from more relational and inter-subjective psychoanalytic models. It is his hope that, through a depth of self-understanding, self-awareness, effective self-management, clients will undertake a unique process toward self-actualization.
A cornerstone of Dr. Jones's practice is face-to face individual therapy. Whether that's addressing current concerns, past hurts, or future challenges, he works with clients to navigate the various aspects of their lives to so they are better able to understand themselves, others, and their world. He encourages clients to schedule this service today to ensure that they're ready for what’s ahead.
As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, Dr. Jones has a unique set of therapeutic tools and techniques designed to deepen a couples understanding of one another and the nature of their relationship.
Couples therapy is separate and apart from individual therapy. In these sessions, both partners meet with Dr. Jones weekly to discuss issues and concerns together. Many topics can include, but are not limited to, ways to improve communication, strategies to share thoughts and feelings, and plans for resolving conflicts. In couples's work, Dr. Jones treats the couple as a unified entity and endeavor to bridge the gap between relational strengths, weaknesses, patterns and probably unconscious dynamics interfering with the health of the relationship. Whether in a new relationship or working toward building the ideal relationship, couples counseling can help address the repeating patterns that may interfere with successful relationships and build healthier ones.
Dr. Jones's office is located in the heart of Pasadena, and he also provides telehealth sessions remotely to patients throughout the state of California and certified Life Coaching video sessions for clients in different parts of the U.S. He looks forward to working with you.

Therapist's note
Many of our clients take advantage of the weekly super-bill we can provide to assist the client in seeking insurance coverage reimbursement, as we are considered an out-of-network PPO provider. A superbill is essentially a detailed provider invoice for service(s). More specifically, a superbill is an itemized form, used by healthcare providers in the United States, which details services provided to a patient. It is the main data source for creation of a healthcare claim, which will be submitted to payers for reimbursement.
The choice to remain off traditional managed care insurance panels has given our patients the freedom and flexibility to seek the depth oriented treatment they need for as long as they may need. This means, for those clients demonstrating financial need, We reserve the right to implement a sliding scale on an as needed basis determined by client necessity and practitioner availability. This is done on a case by case basis.
Client testimonials
"Dr. Jones was very attentive, he responded respectively and effectively. Soothing tone and welcoming persona."
- Zencare client • February 2022"Our virtual consultation call with Dr. Jones was wonderful for a couple of reasons: 1) He provided a link that made patching through to him effortless. 2) He was on time. Our appointment was for 3:00 and he logged on at 3:00. 3) I appreciated his introduction of himself and the questions he asked of me and my boyfriend. 4) Because this was our first time meeting Dr. Jones, he created a warmness that was comfortable, especially for my boyfriend who had never spoken with a therapist. The last thing I will say is as our 20 minute consult went over, I appreciated that Dr. Jones didn't just rush us off the call. He acknowledged that we were up against time, but also in a very caring way stay present until the last point was being made."
- Zencare client • March 2022"He was very professional and always kept in communication with me on follow up times."
- Zencare client • March 2022"Dr. Jones is extremely professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I felt comfortable with Dr. Jones from the beginning. He has given me the space to express myself and explain what is on my mind, helping me to process my thoughts in a healthy way. I could not give a higher recommendation to a therapist."
