Ky Jones

I predominately work with clients within the LGBTQIA+ community, and am licensed in HI, WA, & OR. I completed my Master's at Hawai'i Pacific University in 2015, and attended 2 years of their PsyD program as well. My time was also spent interning at Hawai'i State Hospital and Waimānalo Health Center. Both experiences were humbling and amazing, giving me a solid grounding in community mental health before I transitioned to private practice.

Each client has unique concerns, which different therapies may be helpful for. I love discussing treatment options with clients! I have been a mentor for graduate students working on psychedelic medicine projects, a speaker in the community, and serve on a board of directors for a local non-profit. It's important to me to stay active in my community, especially given the current unique issues queer people and other vulnerable people are facing. I also offer psychedelic integration therapy for folks who are curious about or already exploring psychedelic experiences on their own or in legal/medical settings, and want support making sense of what comes up. As an outwardly non-binary therapist, I hope to provide a you a safe place where you don't need to censor yourself. I provide a laid-back approach, while taking your concerns seriously.

My approach is client-centered and humanistic, with a laid-back and down-to-earth style that helps remove the power dynamics that can sometimes show up in therapy. I know seeking help can feel daunting, and I honor the courage it takes to reach out. We’ll move at your pace, with plenty of space for honesty, humor, and growth. I want my clients to feel safe in session as we build a therapeutic relationship, and as though we are equals in this experience.

Clients can expect sessions to be collaborative, and hopefully leave sessions feeling empowered and happier than when they initially walked in. Our initial session will be like a standard intake; I’ll ask you questions about your medical and family history, what’s bringing you to therapy and what type of therapy may work best for you. It’s really the sessions after where we can do a deeper dive into what’s bothering you! If you’ve had trouble finding a therapist who feels relatable, experienced, and genuinely present, I encourage you to reach out to me.
