About Me

Victoria Jones, LCPC

I am honored to come alongside women who are seeking healing from the trauma they have experienced. Talk-therapy is important, but sometimes it is not enough. That’s where I come in. As an EMDR therapist, I help uncover the trauma that our bodies sometimes store. With my help, my clients find healing, wholeness, and peace again.

TRAINING AND EDUCATION

Earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology at Wheaton College in 2004
Worked as a therapist and treatment specialist for various counseling practices. Much of my work involved trauma counseling, including play therapy for young children.
Served at the Trauma Centre for Survivors of Violence and Torture in Cape Town, South Africa in 2007
EMDR-certified through EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) in 2016

Designated as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in 2018
In addition to helping clients find healing using EMDR, I train health professionals who want to integrate EMDR into their practice. I often speak professionally to parenting groups and health care providers about the efficacy of EMDR for clients suffering from perinatal trauma.
In April of 2018, I attended Postpartum Support International’s 2-day Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders: Components of Care training.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH EMDR

Before giving birth to my daughter, I used Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in my own personal counseling to process my emotions. Indeed, the natural birth I hoped for did not progress and I had to have an epidural. My daughter was born after 34 hours of labor. My joy and relief were short-lived when complications occurred and I was immediately rushed into surgery. I lost 2 liters of blood and I required a transfusion. All of this made breastfeeding difficult and painful…on top of the newness of becoming a first-time mom.

Thankfully, because I had used EMDR, I was better prepared to handle the stress and was able to move forward to raise my daughter with confidence rather than fear.

What Brings Me Joy

I enjoy exploring the great outdoors of Idaho with my husband and young daughter, reading books about parenting, and travel. One day I hope to get back to weaving on my loom which is on display in my counseling office.

Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist, all move in a positive direction.
