For this episode we sat down with Mrs. Nicquelle Jones to hear her story of transformation and community impact.  It was great to connect with a women who not only is an amazing contributor to her community, but has an amazing story of transformation.

A little about Nicquelle from Nicquelle...

I am Nicquelle Jones my most recent job was working at Therapeutic Health Services in Seattle, WA in the Capitol Hill area as a treatment supervisor.  I decided to resign to finish my bachelor’s degree in Applied Behavioral Science and to take care of my husband. At THS I supervised SUDPT’s,  SUDP’s and worked with a diverse population of Clients in the Seattle, King Co area. I began at THS working with the King Co. Drug Diversion Program, Alcohol and Drug Program and Opiate Substitute Treatment Program. I use evidence based practices and psychoeducation with the Clients I’ve worked with. I am certified in Moral Reconation Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have personal experience being in recovery for multiple years and use the 12 steps model and mental health services as a form of support to stay healthy.  I am a mother of two children and three grandchildren. I have personally experienced homeless and how hard it can be to find a job with a criminal background. In my early recovery I found out that she I could reinvent myself by going back to school while living in a women’s transitional housing.

My hobbies are: gardening, sewing, and I enjoy public speaking and participate in multiple positions at the church I attend. I also participate in feeding the homeless through a church organization and facilitate recovery workshops using the Seeking Safety Model.
