Christopher "Chris" Jones

An LPC and Supervisor with more than 27 years of experience. Chris has been an invaluable member of the Lifeologie team since 2006. He’s our go-to for trauma, PTSD, major depression, long lasting anxiety, out of control anger, borderline personality, narcissistic personality, and abuse recovery. He has a talent for working with individuals who grew up in a chaotic home and are now struggling to manage life years later. 

Chris launched Lifeologie into our work with First Responders and Veterans. He has great appreciation for both professions and the liberties they afford his family.  He can help lessen the pain of responders’ compounded trauma, as well as the vicarious trauma experienced by the families that love ‘em. Read Chris’s blog about complex trauma to learn more.

He is a certified EMDR clinician – and if you don’t know about EMDR, click here and read up. EMDR is a highly tested technique which uses neuropsychological and structural components of the brain to treat trauma, depression, complex anxiety and a number of other severe issues. Chris also frequently incorporates Inner Family Systems (IFS) into his trauma work. 

With the help of EMDR, Chris can assist athletes and other high performers with the “yips”. More specifically, when a routine action is no longer routine, or if there has been a dramatic drop in performance, there may be an underlying event or trauma causing a problem in performance. A trauma-based approach can often uncover, correct, and help the athlete return to full form within a few sessions. Hear what Chris has to say about treating the “yips” in his blog here. 

Chris also has a knack for helping the young professional, age 20 –30ish, who is trying to adjust to a real job, real relationship, first time parenting, professional success, and “Is this really what I want to do for the rest of my life?” Closely related, he can help with college difficulties of all kinds – from mild homesickness to severe functional issues. 

He received both his Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Psychology from Baylor University. He has spent quality years working in a variety of clinical settings with adolescents and adults. His clinical experience ranges from the ROPES course and corporate trainings to juvenile probation to psychiatric hospitals to private practice. Well-rounded is an apt description!

Chris grew up in a small town south of the metroplex. He remains close to his small town roots (really— he drives his RV to NASCAR) and enjoys a relaxed lifestyle with his smart, pretty wife and his two terrific daughters. He’s empty nesting now but for awhile he endured two teenagers under his roof at the same time. His street cred is solid. 

If you can’t find Chris in the office, he is likely off running a marathon or keeping a seat warm at Texas Motor Speedway.
