Hello,
My name is Richard Jones and I am a counselor, coach, consultant and interventionist specializing in individual, family, and corporate wellness services. I maintain a private practice and consulting program in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. I also have demonstrated a unique ability to provide consulting and coaching via non-traditional platforms. I am an expert at distance counseling and coaching services with a reach well beyond the Carolinas.
Please note I am an exceptional counselor and I take clients on a limited basis depending on presenting issues and geographic location. If we work together you will certainly benefit. However, I will make sure you are an appropriate fit and I will always act in your best interest. I will not waste your time or money. I encourage you to reach out for more information as the details are very important. If I can't help you I will surely find you someone who can.
In addition to my work as private provider I am the Executive Director of FAVOR Greenville directing substance use disorder specific services for individuals, families and the community in Greenville County, South Carolina. Please see: http://www.favorgreenville.orgfor more information. I am also the Executive Director of corporate wellness services and community health programs for Wellness Partners Group. Please see http://www.wellnesspartnersgroup.comfor more information.
I have over 23 years experience in the behavioral health field. I am a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania's Social Psychology program with a concentration in addiction studies. I also hold an MBA with a concentration in healthcare management from Scranton University Kania School of Business and multiple certifications and licenses demonstrating my expertise. I have also completed a post graduate certificate program in Positive Psychology from Drexel University in Pennsylvania.
I am an one of a kind therapist and professional coach. I do not take many cases due to my CEO responsibilities and all my work is 100% self-pay. The cost associated with my services is not cheap, however, I deliver well beyond the agreed upon value. I am certified as a trained EMDR trauma therapist via the legitimate EMDR Institute (www.emdria.org). I believe trauma underlies many of our struggles and is an all too often ignored part of the recovery process.
