Jonathan Jenkins, LPC

Clinical Site Supervisor

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working in the field for about 20 years. I attended the College of William & Mary's Counselor Education master's program and graduated in 2006 with an M.Ed. in Community and Addictions Counseling. My training is based in counseling's roots in education and emphasizes meeting clients where they are in the change process. I began my counseling career at Bacon Street through my student practicum and internship and remained there until 2009. I have since worked in a range of therapeutic settings, including residential treatment, Therapeutic Day Treatment, and outpatient mental health services, providing both general and substance use counseling to youth and adults. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Supervisor registered with the Virginia Board of Counseling and sees clients in Williamsburg, Newport News, Gloucester, and via telehealth. I value and use a person-centered approach and believe counseling sessions belong to the client, focusing on what they feel ready and willing to address. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about supervising Licensed Residents in Counseling and supporting them as they work toward LPC licensure. Influenced by the mentorship I received early in my career, I view supervision as a way to give back to the profession and provide a supportive, collaborative learning experience. I believe meaningful change can be challenging and takes time, and I strive to create a safe, respectful environment where individuals and families can openly explore mental health concerns, substance use issues, and the changes needed to move forward.

Holli Perez

Resident in Counseling

Hi, I'm Holli and I'm excited to be a part of Addy's Colors! As a Virginia native, I feel blessed to have lived most of my life in the rural communities of Charles City and New Kent counties. My husband and I have five terrific kids, an ever-growing passel of precious grandchildren, and a variety of critters that keep life fun and interesting. Over the years, I have found great joy in working with children and adolescents, both personally and professionally. When my youngest son started kindergarten, I began working as a special education instructional aide at his elementary school. A few years later, I transitioned into the role of administrative assistant to the principal, where I served for 12 years. Throughout those years, I discovered a deep passion for building meaningful relationships with children and their families, especially those navigating challenging circumstances. Those experiences inspired me to pursue a career in counseling through Liberty University, where I earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Now, as a Resident in Counseling, I use trauma-informed, person-centered, creative arts, and play-based approaches to support children, adolescents, and adults. I am also a certified Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) provider. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to help each person in my care discover their unique strengths, build confidence, and recognize their inherent worth as they navigate life's challenges and opportunities. A quote often attributed to Piglet beautifully captures this belief: "The things that make me different are the things that make me." I couldn't agree more. Our uniqueness is something to be celebrated, and I consider it a privilege to help you embrace what makes you who you are.

Tilly Ramirez

Lead Therapist & Supervisee in Social Work

Hello, my name is Tilly. I am a Social Work Supervisee with a passion for helping children navigate life's challenges through the power of play. I earned my Master of Social Work from Stony Brook University in Long Island, New York, in 2023, and since then I have dedicated myself to working with children and families through play therapy. I believe children communicate and heal best through play. Therefore, I utilize a child-centered approach while incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skill-building into sessions to help children develop healthy coping skills, build confidence, and improve emotional regulation. I am trained in AutPlay Therapy and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), which allow me to provide neurodiversity-affirming, evidence-informed care tailored to each child's unique strengths and needs. I am also the handler of our Newport News therapy dog, Sophie, who often joins sessions to help children feel comfortable, supported, and engaged during therapy. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where children feel accepted, understood, and empowered to express themselves while learning skills that will help them thrive both in and outside of therapy. When I'm not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, going to the movies, reading, and hanging out with Sophie.
