Yvette W. Jones, MFT
Yvette W. Jones is a native of Virginia. She is a Marriage and Family Counselor and founder of Freedom Chain Ministries, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides rehabilitation services, such as counseling, support groups, and other resources to help break barriers to freedom. Yvette W. Jones is married to Wayne Jones, a Certified Christian Life Coach and biblical teacher, who has greatly influenced her spiritual growth. She is an alumna of Liberty University and holds a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy, a B.S. degree in Psychology with a concentration in Christian Counseling and Human Services, and an A.A.S. degree in Administration of Criminal Justice from Danville Community College. She is a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. Yvette W. Jones shares her radio personality on her podcast, Breaking Free to empower minds and break barriers to freedom. Jones has released her first book entitled, My Second Wind.
Growing up in a small town in Virginia, Jones was dealt a losing hand at birth. She was born with Blount’s disease, a rare bone deformity of the lower extremities and struggled with a gaited walk that is still present today. With the weight of braces on her legs, childhood obesity, and absence of her biological father, Jones played her hand of hope with determination to win. As a result, the amenities of life have favored her pathway to freedom.
Yvette W. Jones was cut from the cloth of wisdom and knowledge. The threads of education were sown into Jones at an early age. As pillars of higher learning, her mother and grandmother were educators in the community for over 40 years. After high school, Jones continued her education at a small private college in Virginia. It was during her sophomore year that she decided to explore the wiles of the world. As a result, the choices in life led her to federal and state prison.
Life experiences have become the foundation for Jones’ “second wind.” Shortly after returning home from prison, she decided to go back to college with the support of her parents. Shortly thereafter, her father (stepfather) was killed in a car accident. A few years later, her mother was diagnosed and lost her battle to leukemia. Nonetheless, Jones persevered through difficult times and discovered how to live her life with purpose.
Today, Yvette W. Jones is committed to empowering others to find the right path to freedom and success. She has adopted a solution-focused approach integrated with biblical principles to help others break barriers to freedom. Jones uses her platform to support ex-offenders, at-risk youth, and their families to break barriers with resilience and reduce recidivism. Since 2010, Jones has helped thousands of prospective students find schools and programs of interest to reach their career goals. She also works with youth and adolescents to create an environment that encourages learning and social growth through character building and setting high expectations. Currently, Jones uses her platform to support ex-offenders, at-risk youth, and their families to break barriers with resilience and reduce recidivism through her mentoring program, My Second Wind Project.
Yvette W. Jones contributes her achievements to her faith and several other key factors. In spite of her challenges, she has learned how to turn her wild card into a winning hand. As a result, she discovered her faith had already won the battle, and all she had to do was accept the reward of Grace. Jones contributes her success to the biblical teachings of her husband, Wayne Jones. In addition, she thanks God for her sister, who has encouraged her to spread her wings and soar beyond her limitations. Jones also credits her mother and stepfather for nurturing her with sacrificial love that endures forever. Yvette W. Jones is devoted to helping others break barriers to freedom.
Yvette W. Jones has released her first book, My Second Wind, a true story about an ex-federal and state inmate who discovers the TRUTH that breaks the chain of bondage. Learn how Yvette W. Jones unlocks the door of freedom in an imperfect world and gets her “second wind”.
