Our Story
Healthy Life Choices, GA was founded in 2016 with a mission to create person-centered mental health therapy programs tailored to address the needs of the underserved in our community. Dr. Treva Jones, our visionary founder, recognized a significant gap in the provision of compassionate care. As a New Orleans native and Hurricane Katrina survivor, Dr. Jones experienced firsthand the devastating impact of neglect on mental health. This personal journey fueled her determination to ensure no one else would endure such hardships alone.
In 2017, a poignant article on the BBC highlighted doctors treating over 8,000 patients for depression and substance abuse twelve years after Hurricane Katrina. This story resonated deeply with Dr. Jones, who had witnessed the storm’s aftermath and the lack of adequate mental health support. The crisis underscored the urgency of her mission, reinforcing her commitment to providing the compassion and attention that so many in her community were denied.
Dr. Jones’s life has been a testament to resilience and strength. Growing up, she faced various forms of aggression from family members to social relationships. These experiences, marked by dismissive phrases like “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to” and “You made me do it,” only strengthened her resolve. She transformed her personal struggles into a relentless drive to help others, embodying the spirit of a childhood victim turned victor.
We specialize in person-centered therapy, designed to help you through life transitions, anxiety, depression, difficult decisions, and complex issues. Our approach is confidential and empathetic, ensuring you feel heard and supported. We now offer EMDR Intensives, an advanced therapeutic technique for those dealing with trauma. Our person-centered approach emphasizes understanding your perspective without bias or judgment, helping you uncover the real answers within yourself. We listen with empathy, helping you move from your current state to a healthier, more fulfilling place.
Dr. Treva Jones, DSW, LCSW, one of our founders and the current Clinical Director, specializes in trauma and grief. Under her leadership, Healthy Life Choices, GA has cultivated a culture that is both purposeful and client-centered, focusing on the needs of the under-resourced. Dr. Jones has a remarkable ability to help individuals who have lost hope rediscover their zest for life. By acknowledging their pain and accompanying them through their trauma, she proves that overcoming obstacles is possible. Her dedication has made Healthy Life Choices, GA a beacon of hope and a staunch advocate for the community it serves, with a proven record of helping individuals heal and thrive.
In 2024, Dr. Jones achieved a significant milestone by earning her Doctorate in Social Work (DSW) from Barry University. This accomplishment reflects her dedication to continuous learning and excellence in her field. With over 20 years of experience in the human services profession, Dr. Jones has gained a profound understanding of behavioral health challenges.
