Shaquilla Jones

Shaquilla “Quilla” Jones (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina (NC LCSW C016344) with 10 years of clinical experience and a committed focus on mental health and well-being. Her guiding philosophy is simple - “everyone deserves the opportunity to heal.” She approaches therapy as a space not only for coping with hard moments but also for pursuing authenticity, clarity, and personal growth.

Jones draws on a background that includes community mental health and sports psychology, offering a person-centered, tailored approach because no two people are the same. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and she integrates techniques from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet clients where they are.

She works with a broad range of individuals - from young adults and student-athletes to professionals and high achievers - including those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC. As a Black queer woman, Jones understands the importance of being seen and validated across the many facets of identity, and she cultivates a therapeutic environment that is inclusive, affirming, and empowering.

Jones looks forward to supporting people through healing and growth and invites prospective clients to take the therapeutic journey one step at a time with steady, collaborative care.
