Dorene Jones (she/her)

MSW, LMSW

Dorene is a trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent-affirming therapist offering in-person sessions in Oro Valley and secure online therapy throughout Arizona. She earned her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Hawai‘i and brings a diverse background in higher education, non-profit organizations, addiction treatment, and behavioral health.

Warm, steady, and collaborative, Dorene helps individuals navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. She draws from evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions—to support clients in building insight, resilience, and lasting growth.

Dorene has experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, trauma, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder. She believes therapy works best in a safe, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard, respected, and empowered to make change at their own pace. Her goal is to meet each person where they are, honoring their unique story and journey toward healing and self-discovery.

Outside of sessions, Dorene enjoys hiking, reading, cooking, practicing yoga, and catching up with friends over a good cup of coffee.

If you’re ready to begin your path toward healing and growth, Dorene would be honored to walk alongside you.
