Professional statement

Dr. William James Jones is a Licensed Psychologist and the founder of The Jones Psychology Group, established in the spring of 2019. Since its inception, it has become one of the premier Mental Health Group Practices for patients in the San Gabriel Valley and greater Los Angeles area. Dr. Jones prioritizes client satisfaction and guarantees top-tier Integrative Depth Psychology® services to aid individuals in achieving full mental, emotional, and behavioral health.

Dr. Jones is dedicated to helping clients flourish mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. He employs an Integrative Depth Psychology® approach, incorporating elements from relational and inter-subjective psychoanalytic models. His objective is for clients to achieve self-actualization through enhanced self-understanding, self-awareness, and effective self-management.

A fundamental component of Dr. Jones's practice is face-to-face individual therapy. Whether addressing current issues, past traumas, or future challenges, he collaborates with clients to navigate various aspects of their lives, fostering a better understanding of themselves, others, and their environments. Clients are encouraged to schedule this service to prepare for upcoming challenges.

Couples therapy is distinct from individual therapy. In these sessions, both partners meet with Dr. Jones weekly to discuss issues and concerns. He works with couples to improve communication strategies, express thoughts and feelings, and develop action plans for conflict resolution. Dr. Jones treats the couple as a unified entity and aims to bridge gaps between relational strengths and weaknesses, addressing patterns that interfere with the relationship's health.

Dr. Jones's office is located in the heart of Pasadena, and he also offers telehealth sessions to patients throughout California and Illinois. He looks forward to collaborating with you!


Message to clients

Living one’s best life now is at the heart of my clinical practice, publishing and research. Whether you struggle with relationships, anxiety, depression, loss, career change, or reconnecting with your purpose in life, I hope to help you cope, unblock barriers and deepen your understanding of yourself. My experience has taught me that your symptoms can become a road map to guide you back toward a sense of wholeness.

Taking a leap of faith sometimes requires taking that first step back toward the real and most authentic you. Having the courage to begin or resume psychotherapy sometimes requires a distinct leap of faith. Part of my calling to this clinical work is to help you harness a reconnection back to your core self and ultimately thrive. I await your call.

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."
- Zencare client May 2023
