ABOUT US

Meet TaJuana 'TJ' Jones, MSW, LCSW, owner and lead play-based therapist

at Divine Youth Wellness Centre, LLC (DYWC). With over 13 years of experience in community-based behavioral health services, TJ has supported Saint Louis children and families in many diverse settings including homes, schools, and hospitals.

Inspired by her faith, and personal and professional experiences, TJ's vision for DYWC was to offer community-based outpatient behavioral healthcare services, specializing in play-based therapy for children and adolescents aged 4 to 16. TJ's approach focuses on alternative supportive services as therapeutic extracurricular activities, aiming for social change through innovative and enjoyable methods to enhance overall health outcomes for youth, families, and communities. Committed to providing accessible and affordable care, TJ creates a nurturing social environment for healing and growth.

Outside her dedicated work to area youth and families, TJ enjoys spending time with her children, family, and friends, co-leading a church children's recovery ministry, dancing, and indulging in moments of relaxation.
