Barbara Horton Jones, Ph.D. is a psychologist with more than twenty years experience in private practice. She is gifted to integrate Christian spirituality and psychology and believes that where these two overlap there are solid principles for health and wholeness. Christians can be spiritual without being psychologically healthy.  Wherever we are broken in this way, it hinders the good God wants to do in and through us. God means for us to be all He created us to be. Barbara’s passion is to help people become whole and mature both psychologically and spiritually.  Where we are wounded, God wants to heal us.  Where we have wrong beliefs that trip us up in our relationships, our emotions, or our spiritual lives, He wants to replace those with His truth.

Barbara has found that scripture is a rich source of wisdom and insight for God's affirmation of men and women and their place in His kingdom. She speaks and writes on topics related to being whole persons in Christ and is the author of Empowered With Mary, a Christian’s Biblically-based in-depth look at the strength, beauty, and wisdom often overlooked in the Mother of Jesus. She has also penned a delightful, fully-illustrated children’s book, Mary’s Choice. Through the lens of her Christian faith, experience as an elementary school teacher and her training as a psychologist, Barbara explores the journey young Mary took as she grew up to become the Mother of Jesus.

Dr. Jones believes that women of all ages need to understand that God loves them, has a plan for their lives, and blesses their talents—including intelligence, creativity, and the ability to have their own unique voice. She confidently approaches topics and problems relevant to today’s woman and offers a more full model of a godly woman.  She and her husband, Bill, are the parents of two grown children and a growing number of grandchildren.
