About

Hello! My name is Lakaii Jones and I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Texas. I have a passion for assessment, especially regarding neurodivergence, and look at my work as an ability to serve others. I aim to create a comfortable space for individuals to share and feel heard. I am thorough and committed to helping individuals discover answers to their questions.

Education & Licensure

PhD in Counseling and School Psychology from State University of New York at Buffalo; ME.d. in Counseling Psychology from Howard University; Bachelor's degree in English and Psychology from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Treatment Approach

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I started my work as a school psychologist working in special education where the bulk of my work was in conducting autism assessments. It was rewarding to see children get the support that they needed through the school setting and to seem them grow and learn how to work within their neurodivergence in a more adaptive way. From the school setting, I went on to assess adults and realized how often adults can be misdiagnosed as children or overlooked as children for autism. I believe that is a gap that I can help fill.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize using a strengths-based approach to help individuals see that neurodivergence is not something that needs to be cured, but worked with to help the client see how they can navigate through their challenges and achieve their personal goals.
