Meet the Team

Ramona Jones, LCSW-C, LICSW

Ramona is the Founder/CEO and a dedicated Psychotherapist. She

is passionate about helping people feel more rooted in their inner power, discover their inner strengths to help them cope with life circumstances and let go of both inner and external circumstances that no longer serve them. She practices with a holistic and intergrative approach empowering and considering a person's mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.

From a young child, she witnessed and observed the connections between childhood experience and adult difficulties. As she began her career, she saw more and more the need for advocacy, prevention and interventions that address the mental health crises occurring in our communities.

"My true calling and passion is to empower people in recognizing their true potential by building resiliency and a strong sense of self. My ultimate goal is to build genuine relationships and connections to create the safe space necessary to create lasting change".

Ramona recieved a B.S in Psychology from Howard University while minoring in Human development. She then went on to receive her MSW in Clinical Behaviorial Health Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. She has been in the mental health field for over 10 years working in multiple settings and environments including outpatient and inpatient, working with a multitude of presenting issues& behavioral health disorders. Ramona has experience working with clients with severe and persistent mental illness, co-occurring disorders as well as specializes in working with clients with unresolved trauma. She has a special interest in working in neighborhoods that are disadvantaged and provides cultural competent care to the BIPOC community.

Ramona has a unique approach to her work as she builds meaningful connections that are a model for the meaningful connections she hopes to encourage within her client's inner selves. Enroot is to fix firmly, embed or implant an idea in the mind. Helping people feel enrooted in their inner power is my passion. Through our therapeutic work I will help you redefine your roots to encourage unlimited growth. A quote I live by, " No limits allowed, no limits exist" as the only limits we have are the ones we place on ourselves. Let's work together shape your beliefs to reach your infinite potential.

Germaine's therapeutic approach is rooted in building authentic rapport, where empathy, active reflection, and deep understanding are the foundations of our work together. She specializes in working with individuals facing challenges such as substance use disorders, employment-related trauma, depression, and grief, and I bring a compassionate, non-judgmental perspective to each session. She also has a passion for working with adolescents.

Using a combination of Motivational Interviewing and Somatic Therapy, I help clients explore their inner experiences and move toward meaningful change. I believe in the power of partnership in therapy and work collaboratively with my clients, ensuring that they feel empowered and supported throughout their healing journey. Together, we will navigate difficult emotions and experiences, with the goal of helping you achieve a greater sense of balance, resilience, and well-being
