Testimonials

I struggled with test anxiety and wasn’t sure how to focus my study time effectively. I felt overwhelmed by the amount of material and lacked a clear strategy for success. I wanted guidance from someone who understood both the exam content and the mindset needed to perform well under pressure. Learning how to regulate my nervous system during moments of anxiety was invaluable. Dr. Jones also helped me develop a structured study plan and focus on the most important content areas, including human growth and development, assessment, clinical interventions, client systems and treatment planning, and professional ethics and relationships. My studying became much more intentional and efficient. Instead of trying to learn everything at once, I had a clear roadmap and felt significantly more confident in my ability to pass the exam. If you’re serious about passing your licensure exam, I highly recommend working with Dr. Jones. She provides both the practical test-taking strategies and the emotional support needed to succeed. Passing my exam was an incredible feeling of relief, accomplishment, and gratitude. I felt confident walking into the exam, and passing validated all the hard work and preparation that went into the process.

I wanted to take a minute to share my testimonial with everyone about how Dr. Jones was able to get me through not one, but 2 ASWB exams on the first try!

My journey with Dr. Jones began back in 2020. I was afraid to start seeing clients, because I let my anxiety get in the way. I joined the test prep groups which not only sharpened my clinical skills, but also prepared me to pass the LMSW exam on the first try in January 2021.

I also joined the supervision groups to get my required hours to apply to take the LCSW exam. With the support of the groups, and the knowledge of Dr. Jones, I was able to pass my LCSW exam on the first try on February 3, 2026.

I look forward to continuing working with Dr. Jones for consultation about moving into my new role as clinical Director for my family’s counseling agency.

I am so grateful for the knowledge, confidence and grounding skills that Dr. Jones provided me with to allow me to pass both ASWB exams on the first try!

I recently attended the in-person EMDR Refresher Course in Atlanta and it was highly informative, practical, and trauma-focused. Dr. Treva Jones is a true Advocate for EMDR, as well as for overall mental health and wellness for clients, Therapists, and the community alike. She goes above and beyond to ensure everyone in her courses is seen, heard, and respected. She values the opinions of others, and she selflessly imparts her wisdom, knowledge, and resources to her consultees and students. I highly recommend Dr. Jones’s EMDR courses, and I also strongly recommend her consultation and supervision services. She is an innovator and a positive role model for other Therapists.

Dr. Jones’ guidance was truly foundational in my journey toward becoming an LCSW. Her supervision was thoughtful, grounded, and always centered on helping me strengthen my clinical judgment and trauma-informed skills. She offered honest yet supportive feedback, pushed me to think critically, and created a space where I felt safe to learn, ask questions, and make mistakes. Her mentorship helped me gain confidence with complex trauma cases and develop a more unmistakable therapeutic voice.

I’m genuinely thankful for the time, care, and expertise she invested in my growth. Dr. Jones’ guidance played a significant role in my achieving my LCSW, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed clinical supervisor.

For anyone looking to further develop their level of confidence, I would highly recommend the EMDR 2-Day refresher course I took this past weekend with Dr. Treva Jones. The week long intensive left me feeling like I learned the broad strokes of EMDR but I didn’t know enough of the details to feel skilled. I know we get 10 hours of group supervision to help with that but it is not a lot of time to ask questions depending on group size, some people seemed much further in their development than me, and presenting questions feels different than actually getting to watch the nuances in demonstrations. In this training I asked all my questions , the slides walked me through what I need to do, I received a bunch of resources, and observed from beginning to end all 8 phases in 2 days. I honestly left feeling ready to do EMDR with all my patients. Hope this information is helpful to those of us that needed that extra boost after the week long.

Thank you Dr. Jones for your insightful and invaluable refresher two-day training program!!! It was exactly what I needed and had been looking for to really help me feel confident to step back into the world of EMDR to provide this treatment to clients. The training and your insights provided me with so many resources and ways to show up authentically using the various protocols. I really appreciated the lesson of “however long it takes”; this gave me so much relief that I didn’t need to pressure myself and to just slow down and take the time for however long is needed until the target is cleared. I left the refresher feeling inspired, and creative, and looking forward to integrating EMDR knowing that I have access to an amazing, insightful, EMDR community.  I look forward to being a part of the trauma hub, joining you in the coaching sessions and trainings in the future.

I just finished Dr. Jones’ refresher course for EMDR and I am so glad I did. I feel like I have a good handle on EMDR already but what I learned took my skills to the next level. I love how Dr. Jones helped to expand my thinking to allow for creativity to be interwoven into EMDR. Learning different types of bilateral stimulation for all age groups and learning about different adaptations for demographics some clinicians may be nervous to work with was mind blowing. This was more than a refresher, it was a game changer and I can’t wait for her next training to come out! She is so knowledgeable and easy to learn from. I feel like the Yoda of EMDR now lol.

Thank you Dr. Jones for such an amazing EMDR Therapy 2-Day Refresher training! 🌼 I walked away feeling more confident, inspired, and equipped to better serve my clients. Truly thankful for your guidance and encouragement!

Treva’s EMDR refresher training was exactly what I was looking for. Over the course of two days, I gained a clear and comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of providing EMDR, while also connecting with colleagues from across the country who shared valuable insights. Treva is not only a skilled and knowledgeable therapist but also a savvy businesswoman and engaging teacher. Her teaching style made it easy to stay focused and involved throughout the training, and her expertise truly shone through. I left feeling refreshed, confident, and grateful for the experience.

I very much enjoyed everyone’s energy and excitement in this training!

Dr. Jones- you breathed new life into EMDR for me. It felt rigid, stale, and inflexible to me after my first training. I left your training and felt inspired, creative, and hopeful! I am so excited to use some of the tips, tricks, and tools that you offered with this modality and with my practice. This week, I have already started with clients from a much more confident and competent place.

Thanks to all for your warmth in including me in your community of EMDR clinicians!

Meeting you and your team was absolutely amazing  and the learning experience was top tier!!!!  I definitely feel refreshed, and I absolutely loved our learning experience.  You know there are people that God uses to truly sharpen and stir up your gifts and you, maam are one of those.  I left this experience knowing and experiencing true refreshment.  As a result of the training experience, I had many awesome experiences, including being inspired and receiving confirmation about how I wanted to approach and defend my dissertation when the time comes.  I have a ways to go, but I left knowing I needed to and would be fully honoring what God placed on the inside of me to communicate with not only those sitting on the panel, but the world, and not only could there be success, but absolutely would be success!  Also, the resources you shared with us were endless.  As a result of this, I will be signing up for professional coaching, as I need accountability and mentorship from a godly resource. 

Working with Dr. Treva Jones has been an absolute game-changer for me as an EMDR therapist. Her business coaching goes far beyond surface-level strategy, she helps you envision and build a business that is sustainable, aligned, and impactful.

What I appreciate most is how she understands the unique challenges and goals of EMDR therapists. She doesn’t offer cookie-cutter advice; She offers personalized, results-driven strategy that empowers you to step outside the 1-on-1 model and create multiple streams of income with confidence and clarity.

Dr. Jones challenged my mindset, helped me own my expertise, and showed me how to build offers that reflect both my clinical skills and entrepreneurial vision. Her support was equal parts strategic, affirming, and unapologetically honest in the best way.

If you’re an EMDR therapist who’s tired of trading hours for dollars and ready to step into your full potential as a business owner, I can’t recommend Dr. Jones enough. She truly sees you and pushes you to build the business (and life) you deserve.

My experience completing supervision with Dr. Treva Jones has been awesome.  I have learned a great deal of information through Dr. Jones. I feel that I get to learn social work in different professions because she is has experience working in different social work settings. I would recommend her services to anyone in need of supervision and test prep assistance they will not regret it.

Treva Jones, DSW, LCSW is aware of the need for effective and ethical EMDR training. I met her in Georgia December 2023 for the five-day intense EMDRIA training. What stood out and still stands out about Dr. Jones is her ability to teach the material in a way all can understand. She is consistent and practical in her approach. Her method helps the learner learn and apply theory to practice. Dr. Jones is aware the five-day intense program and consultation training is not enough, so she has created a program to help fill in the gaps by providing prospective students with a structured 20-hour certification format. Her program offers the clinician the ability to practice with her guidance and from peers. This safe space has encouraged me to be more confident with the EMDR model. Not only are we encouraged to participate in live practices, we are also encouraged to give feedback to aid with our fellow cohort’s success. Dr. Jones also provides the clinicians with critical business resources to help the clients and our practices. Her consistency to the Job right has afforded me the opportunity to move to the next phase of becoming an EMDRIA Certified Therapist. Dr. Treva Jones receives a rating of 100%

I recommend Treva to everyone. I was overwhelmed after the 40-hour training and honestly scared and intimidated by all of the material unable to start implementing EMDR in my practice. Her knowledge and teaching style is creative, simple to understand, relatable, supportive, fun, genuine, and non-judgmental. Through working with Treva the last few months, I now feel comfortable and confident with implementing EMDR as a therapeutic tool in my daily practice. I am excited about EMDR and the opportunity I now have to proceed as an EMDR therapist. I want to keep developing this modality into my own practice, and I can do so as a result of the tools and guidance she has provided.

I enjoyed working with Treva Jones, a truly exceptional wellness coach. Her unique approach and valuable insights have been instrumental in helping me set and achieve my business growth goals. With her guidance, I feel confident and enthusiastic about implementing my plan for business growth and development!

When I first took the exam I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know about acronyms; I didn’t think that I would need them. But I was wrong! On questions that I had no idea what the answer could be, I used the acronyms provided to me by Treva Jones and applied them to designated types of questions. Miss Jones was a huge help to me from my mentality’s standpoint. She not only provides test prep supervision. She engages me in my fullness; and she catered it towards having a better attitude towards tests as I highly dislike taking tests. She always reminded me to “become one with the exam and to embrace it.” The exam is not going anywhere, I’m not going anywhere, and you are not going anywhere so you might as well attack it.” I am forever grateful to Miss Jones as she has helped me to not only get past this mental hurdle of passing the exam, but also taught me something about myself as well. I highly recommend her services if you are interested in passing the social work licensure exams.

I started supervision and test prep services with Treva Jones in January 2024. Each session with Treva and the group has been extremely helpful in training my mind to think clinically, retrain my negative thought patterns regarding the LMSW exam into positive, and ultimately give me all the tools needed to continue to grow and learn in my field. I would highly recommend this service, as it is worth the investment. I started in January and took my test on March 13th, 2024 and passed my first attempt.

I had completely given up pursuing my license (LMSW/LCSW) after failing twice! I took the exam right after graduating with my MSW. First, I failed by 1 point; 2nd time, I failed by 2! To say I was discouraged would be an understatement! I was a School Social Worker then and didn’t need my license. I had a side gig as an in-home therapist where that license would have made a huge difference in my salary, but that wasn’t motivating me enough to take that exam again, especially after not failing one exam my entire college career! Defeated, until now! Here, 16 years later, I decided to make a go for it. I relocated to Georgia 7 years ago, and the rules are different from those in New Jersey! So I found myself having to start all over with finding a supervisor and getting hours! I was informed that I had to sit for my LMSW first and then my LCSW. Well, I found a supervisor! As the Lord guided and directed my path, it led me straight to Ms. Treva Jones! I was clueless about the process and reached out through the BTR Facebook group, and she responded, among others! When I tell you, it was the best decision I ever made toward this process! Ms. Treva has picked me up, dusted me off, and set my hind parts in the right direction! My anxiety was decreased, my belief in myself was increased, and the knowledge gained was insurmountable! I have learned sooo much, and my perspective has changed as well thanks to Ms. Treva! Things I knew but didn’t understand why they were the way they were was brought to light! By the time I entered that exam room, I was ready ready! The techniques she gave me were utilized, and every time I drifted off, I was able to tap back in! I was taught by her to always attach the client to my hip, forming that tight relationship! I did want to quote. Her quote is now embedded, but she will certainly share it! I’m not sure how much room I have to share, but thank you so much, Ms. Treva, for teaching and guiding me through this. I am not done though! LCSW is on the horizon, and my confidence is SUP! My abilities are solid! I would encourage anyone to reach out and take her hand! “Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out. “Ecclesiastes 7:8! Best wishes to you all!

I want to thank Treva Jones for all of her hard work, commitment, professionalism, and dedication. Because of her, I have learned so much in regards to EMDR as well as how to be a more efficient and confident clinician. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She willingly shares her knowledge to help others become better. I appreciate how patient she is with me in regards to the numerous questions that I ask. She is so warm, caring, and compassionate. I am so grateful that our paths crossed. Treva thank you for being a beacon of light and paving the way for other clinicians like myself.

Working with Treva to further enhance my skill set has been absolutely refreshing. She is thoroughly knowledgeable about EMDR protocols and techniques helping me to develop the confidence I needed to expand and adapt EMDR principles and protocols to all populations. The resources released and shared in her training was amazing allowing me to leave with techniques and tools I could quickly implement in practice. As a clinician you will leave her consultations feeling empowered and equipped with tools to help with the implementation of the EMDR processes making them easier. I highly recommend her consultation group.

I learned about Treva Jones from my BFF, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to work with her. I had struggled with passing my LCSW exam for a while and had worked with multiple tutors, but working with Treva was a game-changer for me. Unlike other tutors, she wouldn’t criticize or judge me for my mistakes but rather helped me understand how to work with people with anxiety and ADHD. Her compassion and expertise were evident throughout every session we had.

After working with Treva, I didn’t need any other tutors. She was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses and customize our sessions to fit my specific needs. Her guidance and support were invaluable, and I can confidently say that she gave me everything I needed to pass the exam. After ten unsuccessful attempts, I finally passed thanks to Treva’s dedication and teachings.

I highly recommend Treva Jones to anyone who is struggling with passing their LCSW exam. She is an exceptional coach who genuinely cares about her clients and will go above and beyond to help them succeed. Thank you, Treva, for all that you’ve done for me!

I am so grateful to say that I PASSED my LMSW exam on the very first try because of the Methods that Mrs. Treva Jones uses through Treva Jones Associates!!! She helped get my test Anxiety under control and really broke down the method on how to analyze and answer each of the exam questions. I walked in the test site feeling prepared and was able to leave my test anxiety at the door. I can’t say thank you enough!!! This was everything I needed and more. Without our study sessions it would not have been possible for me to pass the exam on the first try. I would recommend this to anyone who plans on taking the Social work exam!

I passed my LMSW exam on 01/14/2021. Treva taught me ways to manage my anxiety while testing (breathing techniques) and it helped in my passing!

Treva Jones Associates played an important part in helping me pass my ASWB Masters Exam. During each study session I attended, my confidence increased. Mrs. Treva Jones helped me work on skills to decrease my test taking anxiety. By the time I was scheduled to take my exam, I passed on the first time. I would highly recommend Treva Jones Associates to prepare you for your ASWB exam!

I just passed one of the most difficult exams of my life! I’m now a Licensed Social Worker! I began working with Treva Jones of Treva Jones Associates a few months ago and from the very beginning, she started me on a direct path to passing this LMSW exam. Her guidance, encouragement, positive affirmations, study materials, and groups helped me to push past any negative talk, any doubt, and distractions that were trying to have a seat at my table. She believed in me and that lent so much to my mental ability to stay present with the exam, kick my fears away as they tried to enter my head, and to become what I already knew I was inside…An amazing Therapist. If anyone is looking to pass the exam, join Treva’s Tribe. She not only teaches you that you belong at the table, but she will support you in building your own table so that you can create a path for others to one day join you, in this helping profession. Mental Health Therapists Rock!

In 2019, I failed by 12 points. In 2020, I failed by 5 points. I was in shock and disbelief when I saw the word ‘FAIL’. I couldn’t believe it, I questioned the integrity of the exam. I called the board and said that I would pay $25.00 to have my exam regraded. I decided against the idea because I felt it would have been a lose-lose situation for me. I was disappointed for a while and lost interest in studying. I kept rescheduling my exam, although I didn’t want to take it. My friend provided me with Treva’s contact information in September 2020, but I called Treva about 3 weeks before my exam, in January. I’m glad I called. I shared that I hadn’t really studied anything, but remembered a lot from my previous attempts. Treva provided encouragement, test-taking strategies, different methods of studying, handouts and memorable mnemonics. My anxiety decreased after attending Treva’s group and individual sessions. In February 2021, I passed the LMSW exam. I studied the exact same thing as before but incorporated Treva’s strategies. Treva contributed to my success!

I would like to take this moment to thank God first then I will thank Treva Jones Associates, in care of Mrs. Treva Jones, for providing me with the necessary tools needed to make it across the finish line into my destiny as a LCSW. I, just like hundreds of other social workers, had taken the LCSW exam numerous times, purchased hundreds of dollars in study materials, to only get into that testing center and fail the exam. Treva Jones Associates dedicated countless hours providing me with their time to tutor, to teach me grounding techniques through EMDR, and to show their sincere dedication to helping me pass this exam. The TJA Family is committed to sticking with you until you cross that finish line into your destiny. I can’t thank them enough and I would encourage anyone who’s out there needing assistance with passing their exam to contact Treva Jones Associates. I can proudly say I am officially a LCSW!!!!!

I am so thankful for Treva Jones and Treva Jones Associates. I picked up a lot of great information and helpful strategies in the Tuesday night Clinical Development Test Prep classes. The lectures helped me conceptualize things and helped me look for answers that include the clients. Thank you for the part you played in my journey.

After two failed attempts, I finally passed my LMSW exam. I have been studying with Mrs. Treva for about 2 weeks. When I first spoke to her, she told me that according to my scores, I needed to focus on Knowledge Gaps. She was able to promptly explain to me what I needed to do in order to pass the exam. This test seemed so broad to me; having a coach who has years of background experience helped me identify things I didn’t even notice. Mrs. Treva encourages you to study on your own and read through material. When you come to her for coaching, she will break it down and show you how to use certain tools and knowledge to answer the question. She is very patient, which helped a lot because I was able to learn multiple things in very little time. She also taught me a test anxiety coping mechanism to help deal with my emotions during the test. I would definitely recommend her as she is one of few who genuinely care. I am very thankful I met her, and believe she strongly contributed to my success in such little time. Treva Jones Associates will definitely give you a community of people to help you on your journey to licensure.
