Meet Afton Jones,
Perinatal Therapist Charlotte NC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, IBCLC, PMH-C
Welcome to Perinatal Wellness & Support Services!
As a mama to my little one, I understand motherhood's hardness. When I had my daughter, I met a version of myself that I did not recognize. The obstacles I faced with postpartum anxiety and breastfeeding fueled my passion for supporting women and mothers through the challenges and transitions that life and motherhood can bring.
​
I am here to support you through all the things motherhood. My services include general women's wellness and mental health support as well as mental health support for women experiencing challenges during the pregnancy and postpartum stage.
I also provide lactation support for feeding challenges such as anxiety related to breastfeeding, weaning sadness and depression, guilt and shame around feeding choices, and unmet expectations related to feeding.
​
I am dually licensed as a perinatal therapist Charlotte NC, and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. I offer online therapy services to residents in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Vermont, as well as lactation services worldwide.
I look forward to assisting you on your journey to self-awareness and empowerment.
