About Darcy M. Jones, LCSW

Who I Work With

I work with adults of all genders, especially thoughtful, creative, curious people who are willing to explore new ways of understanding themselves.

Maybe you’ve created a livelihood from the ground up, built a career around something you care deeply about, or simply always looked at things a little differently.

You’ve spent years figuring things out, solving problems, and making life work—only to discover that some of your familiar ways of doing things aren’t working so well anymore.

You don’t have to know exactly what needs to change.

But if you’re curious about what might be possible, that’s a good place for us to begin.

Many of the people I work with know or suspect they’re neurodivergent—ADHD, autistic, or both (AuDHD). I have a particular interest in neurodivergence in midlife, including the intersection of masking, burnout, changing capacity, and menopause.

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin exploring your experience. I work from a neuro-affirming perspective, which means I don’t approach neurological differences as problems to be fixed. We can explore how your particular system works and what helps you thrive.

I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to help you get curious about what’s been keeping you stuck, recognize what you actually need, and begin making changes that work in your life.

Queer- and Trans-Affirming Therapy 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

My practice is queer- and trans-affirming.

You don’t have to defend your identity, explain why your relationship matters, or wonder whether your gender or sexuality will be treated as something that needs fixing.

You are the expert on your own experience. I bring curiosity, respect, and a willingness to understand what life has been like for you.

If you’ve spent years monitoring how much of yourself it’s safe to reveal, that habit may not disappear just because someone tells you they’re affirming.

We can pay attention to that, too.

Your identity isn’t the problem we’re here to solve.

My Approach to Somatic and Attachment-Based Therapy

I bring a unique blend of experience to this work, rooted in somatic therapy, attachment healing, and creative process.

I’ve trained in Somatic Experiencing since 2003, long before “nervous system regulation” was trending. My work centers around helping you listen to the signals of your body, so you can begin to trust what you feel, not just what you think.

Professional Background and Clinical Experience

With a Master’s in Social Work and over 15 years as a licensed clinical social worker, I integrate strengths-based, solution-focused approaches with the depth of somatic and attachment work.

I’ve supported neurodiverse, ADHD, and highly creative individuals for over a decade.

Creativity, Identity, and the Inner Process

As an artist and sculptor myself, I understand what it’s like to feel stuck, to sense something essential waiting just beneath the surface, and not know how to reach it.

When I’m making something, I don’t always know where it’s going. I might have an idea, but then the material surprises me. Something doesn’t work the way I expected. I have to get curious, try something different, and see what happens.

I bring that same spirit of exploration into therapy.

We don’t have to know the answer before we begin. We can notice what happens, pay attention to what we find, and explore possibilities together.

Sometimes that means discovering that something you’ve been trying very hard to change has actually been helping you get through life.

Sometimes it means recognizing a need or preference you’ve been overlooking for years.

And sometimes it’s noticing a small shift in your body that tells you something is different, even before you have words for it.

In my somatic work, I sometimes talk about reclaiming your midline—an internal organizing center that can become a resource for feeling grounded, present, and connected to yourself.

Different people experience this differently. For some, there’s a sense of settling or steadiness. For others, it may feel empowering, or like finding a place inside themselves they can return to.

Sometimes it can feel a little like coming home to yourself.

This creative, curious way of working shapes how I approach therapy. I’m not trying to turn you into someone else. I’m interested in what becomes possible as you begin to recognize and trust more of your own experience.

What Matters to Me in This Work Is You

What matters to me is you learning to trust your truest, most authentic version of yourself.

I believe you already carry everything you need to heal—it’s just waiting to be remembered.

With the right kind of support, you can reconnect with your inner knowing and begin to live from a place of clarity, safety, and embodied self-trust.
