Hello! It's so nice to meet you. My name is Lynn Gordon, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida. I understand that you may be going through a tough time, and I'm here to help. I received my master's degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, and over the past five years, I've had the privilege of working with patients who are struggling with addiction and mental health issues. As a therapist, I offer a safe and supportive space for individuals to heal, and I provide individual and group therapy services for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions at all levels of care. I have experience working with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, career-related issues, trauma, and grief and loss. Please know that I am here to support you and help you through this journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, we'll have the chance to get to know each other, build a relationship, and establish trust. Honesty is crucial, as it will help me gain a better understanding of your needs. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals and concerns.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

What makes me unique as a therapist is my ability to connect with clients on a deep level and create a safe and nonjudgmental space for them to explore their emotions and experiences. I have a strong background in cognitive-behavioral therapy, which allows me to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Additionally, my experience working with diverse populations has given me a greater understanding and appreciation for cultural differences and how they impact mental health. My strengths lie in my empathy, patience, and dedication to helping others navigate their struggles and achieve personal growth. These qualities, combined with my clinical skills and experience, enable me to be an effective and compassionate clinician.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am here to support you in navigating life's challenges and overcoming obstacles. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I'm here to listen and provide non-judgmental support. Together, we'll explore the underlying causes of your concerns and develop personalized solutions to help you lead a more fulfilling life. My goal is to empower you to create meaningful and lasting change, leading to a happier and healthier life. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive transformation, I encourage you to reach out to schedule a confidential consultation. Remember, you don't have to go through this alone. I'm here to help you on your journey towards healing and growth.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a proven and effective approach to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By working together, we can explore how these patterns impact your emotions and actions and develop strategies to challenge and reframe them. Through CBT, I aim to empower clients to develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall mental well-being.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

By cultivating mindfulness, clients can learn to observe and accept their experiences without judgment, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. This approach can help clients develop healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being.

Strength-Based

In my practice, I utilize strength-based therapy to focus on your unique strengths, resources, and abilities to help you overcome challenges and achieve your goals. By emphasizing your positive qualities and empowering you to build on them, we can work together to create lasting change and growth. Through this approach, I aim to foster a sense of resilience, self-confidence, and empowerment in my clients.

Motivational Interviewing

In my practice, I use Motivational Interviewing as a collaborative, goal-oriented approach to helping clients explore and resolve ambivalence toward change. By using open-ended questions, reflective listening, and empathy, I work with clients to strengthen their motivation and commitment to making positive life changes. This approach helps clients increase their self-awareness, build confidence, and develop a personalized plan for achieving their goals.
