Buirge Jones

LPC) in Oregon with a master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy from Naropa University. My background includes trauma-informed therapy, community mental health, and work with adults, adolescents, children, and families facing complex emotional, relational, and life challenges.

My style is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in creating a space where clients feel respected and understood. I draw from trauma-informed care, attachment-based and psychodynamic perspectives, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches depending on the needs of the person in front of me. I believe therapy should be individualized, practical, and meaningful.

I often work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family stress, emotional overwhelm, and difficult patterns that can feel hard to shift alone. I aim to help clients build insight, coping skills, and a stronger sense of direction in their lives.

I work with clients of all ages, who may be struggling with both major and minor mental health issues. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan to address them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients experience a gradual improvement in symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

Clients can expect the first session to be a calm, supportive, and collaborative conversation focused on understanding what is bringing them to therapy and what they hope may change. I typically ask about current concerns, relevant history, stressors, strengths, and any goals they may already have in mind.

The first session is also a chance for clients to see how I work and whether the fit feels right. I aim to create an environment where people feel respected, not judged, and able to talk openly at their own pace. By the end of the session, I usually hope clients leave with a sense of being understood and a clearer idea of the direction therapy may take.
