Dr. Kahilah Jones, LMFT

Dr. Kahilah Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 16 years of professional experience working across clinical, educational, organizational, and judicial settings. Her background spans marriage and family therapy, human resource development, school administration, and the judicial system, and she has collaborated with individuals, couples, families, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based groups, and political representatives.

Dr. Jones approaches therapy as a collaborative guide rather than an authority on a client's life, helping clients map the changes they want to make. She likens her role to a navigator who provides clear directions based on the destination the client chooses, while clients remain in control of their route.

As a practitioner grounded in solution-focused work, she emphasizes brief, goal-oriented treatment and minimal, targeted interventions. Her practice centers on present-day concerns and practical strategies that support measurable progress without prolonged excavation of family history. Clinically, she integrates Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Systemic Therapy to address a wide range of issues.

Dr. Jones works with families, couples, and individuals on matters including grief, self-esteem, career and coaching concerns, relationships and intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses specific challenges such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, and family-of-origin concerns. Based in New Jersey, she provides services in English and is currently accepting clients.
