Meet the Founder

Christina Jones, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Hey there! I'm Christina Jones, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 7 years of experience. I created Heart Alignment Therapy because I believe real change begins when you get honest with yourself and curious about who you are becoming.

It takes courage to say, "I need help," and that honesty is often the first step toward meaningful change. With life piling up with painful experiences, patterns from childhood, relationship struggles, and emotions that feel overwhelming. Over time, these experiences can leave you feeling stuck. But stuck is not permanent.

My own path was not a straight line. I began with a degree in Law Enforcement and Justice Administration from Western Illinois University, then felt called toward something deeper. I returned to school and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Roosevelt University in 2019. That transition taught me about courage, self acceptance, and trusting the process. I share this because I understand what it feels like to sit with uncertainty and choose yourself anyway. You are not walking into this alone.

No matter your background, your relationships, your habits, or your history, this is a space where you will be met with zero judgment, full compassion, and a plan built around you. You do not have to change because someone else expects you to. You can choose change because you want something different for yourself.

The work here is grounded in a trauma informed perspective and proven, research based approaches. Emotion Focused Therapy can help you work through your feelings rather than around them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing intense emotions when they feel like too much. Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you notice your thoughts without letting them run the show. These are not just clinical techniques. They are real tools that can be shaped around your needs and the sensitivity of what you are carrying.

More than any method or approach, the foundation of this work is the relationship. It is built on trust, safety, honesty, and zero judgment. When you feel genuinely seen and supported, hard conversations become possible. That is where real progress begins. Therapy is not about having all the answers right away. It is about moving through the process at your pace while you rediscover the authenticity and power of who you are.

Avoiding healing only delays it, and running from it can make the weight feel heavier. When you are ready, this is a space that will meet you exactly where you are with care, curiosity, honesty, and a gentle nudge when you need it. When your heart and mind align, change can come naturally. That is what we will work toward. If you are ready, let's talk!
