Testimonials

"I’ve worked with Dr. Jones in multiple settings of his mental health and teaching practice.  Dr. Jones has repeatedly proven to be a knowledgeable and caring therapist that has a clear passion for working with individuals in distress.  I never hesitate to refer clients or students to him and I’m never disappointed when I hear back from the individuals I send.  I routinely lean on his expertise in the areas of psychotherapy and formal education. I’ve repeatedly observed Dr. Jones give a large amount of his own time to helping members of public safety, which is a clear indication of his compassion for individuals that need help."

"I have known Dr. Blake Jones for 15 years, as he played beautiful music on the patio of my restaurant in Midway, KY.  Later in life, while I was changing careers, he served as a mentor to me and guided me through the process of helping me reengage with my education and stood by me through graduate school at the University of Kentucky and my licensure as an independent social worker. 

We share a love of music, good food, and small town living. He is passionate about the many roles he plays; Professor, mentor, social worker, activist, advocate, therapist, son, brother, father, and husband.  He is down to earth and practices from a place of compassion and empathy. I consult with him on difficult cases and value his knowledge and expertise. I am proud to call him a colleague and routinely refer clients his way as trusted expert in our field."

"I first met Blake in 2017 as a graduate student in the College of Social Work at the University of Kentucky. As a student, I always found him to be kind, understanding, approachable, and authentic. Since then, as I have become his colleague and friend, I have come to see these are not only his characteristics as an instructor, but as an empathic clinician. 

Blake truly practices the unconditional positive regard inherent in our profession, actively engaging the client wherever they are in the change process.  As I work towards my own LCSW license under his supervision, I see more than ever the thoughtfulness, insight and deep caring he has for each and every client. Now and in my future practice, I would not hesitate to recommend Blake for his services - he is truly an asset to the field of social work!"

"Dr. Blake Jones has been my clinical supervisor for over a year now. During this time we witnessed society, and the way the work, change dramatically and Dr. Jones provided the steadfast adherence to the basic principals of social work needed for us to navigate the storms and to endure the ever changing clinical environment. 

My supervision with Dr. Jones is custom tailored to me and my life experiences, but also to the work that I currently do. His knowledge clinical practice has proven to be invaluable and I find ways to apply his guidance and teaching into my daily practice with my own patients. He is truly a compass for any clinician seeking clinical supervision."
