Let Me Introduce Myself
Hello! I am Mikah Jones, currently pursuing a master's degree at New York University in the field of Mental Health and Wellness Counseling. Before this, I completed my bachelor's studies in social work at the University of Georgia. My primary goal is to create meaningful relationships with others and cultivate safe spaces for individuals who want help and self-improvement. I am committed to aiding both young people and adults in conquering challenges they face. I firmly believe in a therapy method that focuses on each person, prioritizing attentive listening and encouraging individuals to take charge of their own choices.

My Journey To Becoming A Therapist
I have always felt strongly about mental health. My personal experience with therapy has been a challenging one. I faced numerous uncomfortable situations during my sessions, yet I persevered. It was crucial for me to find a listener who would hear me without bias and show empathy. While therapy can feel intimidating, I have come to realize that it doesn't have to be that way. I believe that therapy is like a personal adventure where you can choose your own path. When life feels confusing and too much to handle, asking for help should feel like taking a brave step forward. Therapy offers a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, helping you navigate through the challenges that come your way.
“Becoming your true self is one of the greatest gifts that you can give yourself."
What You Can Expect
I want to create a safe space where you can share your feelings and thoughts openly, knowing that you won't be judged. I am committed to making sure you feel heard and secure by putting in my best effort. It would be a privilege to support you on your journey to seeking help and achieving the life you desire. I am eager and excited to start working with you!
