Hello, My name is Jennifer Bardon, a LCSW certified professional in the state of Michigan. Social work and behavioral therapy are my passions because helping others is truly what motivates and rewards me the most. Since receiving a BSW (Bachelors, Social Work) and MSW (Masters, Social Work) from Wayne State University, Detroit, nearly 7 years ago, I have been developing and practicing methods to better understand the human condition and how to modify it to help others through personal conflicts and struggles from insecurities, anxiety, depression, self esteem and so much more. Incorporating mindfulness techniques to assist clients with centering themselves, and focusing on the present, as well as challenging negative thoughts, is one of my many strengths. I have experience with working with children, teens and adults with developmental disabilities. As a clinician that practices Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) certified professional, you can be confident I have the skill-set necessary to work with a diverse array of clients. My focus is "You" the individual, and I encourage all my clients to help assist in utilizing and engaging in the recommended treatments thus giving them needed satisfaction in their own successes. Note: Evenings and weekends are open for clients who have a busy work week or find those times most convenient. I do offer some flexibility if appointments are requested outside of my usual available times.
In our first session, I'd like to spend some time getting to know you and learning more about what has brought you to therapy. I'll provide space for you to share your experiences, concerns, and goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Our initial conversation is an opportunity for me to better understand what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to gain from the process, and the areas of your life you'd like to focus on. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals, values, and priorities, ensuring our work feels meaningful, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I encourage you to ask questions, share your thoughts and feedback, and let me know what feels most important to you along the way. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered as we work together toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
My approach to therapy is grounded in a person-centered philosophy that recognizes each client as the expert in their own life. I believe every individual brings unique strengths, insights, and lived experiences, and I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and specialize in supporting clients experiencing depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disabilities, and challenges related to stress management, coping, and life transitions. I am committed to understanding each person's unique experiences and tailoring treatment to meet their individual needs and goals. My goal is to meet clients where they are, foster a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship, and help them build on their strengths to navigate challenges, develop resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe that healing and growth happen through collaboration, authenticity, and a supportive therapeutic connection, and I am honored to walk alongside clients throughout their journey.
I work with motivated clients who are committed to their personal growth and success. I place strong value on recognizing progress at every stage, including small but meaningful victories. Certified to work with both children and adults, I foster a supportive and collaborative environment tailored to each individual’s needs.

With only a few sessions, I not only feel that I’ve already shown improvement on my emotional well-being, but also on my day-to-day actions. I truly appreciate the relationship. I have built with Jennifer already and will continue to do so. This experience has been so amazing for me and something that I am happy excited to finally take the lead forward with. my connection with Jennifer is not only genuine, but authentic that improves my outcomes of therapeutic interventions..
