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 like to take time to get to know you and give you space to guide the conversation. This helps me better understand what’s brought you to therapy and what you’re hoping to work toward. Together, we’ll collaborate to create a plan that reflects your goals and aspirations, so that our work feels meaningful, supportive, and effective for you.
My work is grounded in a person-centered approach that honors clients as the experts in their own lives. I value each individual’s insight, strengths, and lived experiences, and strive to create a supportive, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and specialize in supporting those navigating depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities, and challenges related to coping and life transitions. I bring an approachable, empathetic presence to my work and am committed to understanding each client’s unique perspective. My goal is to meet clients where they are, foster a strong therapeutic relationship, and support them in creating meaningful and lasting change.
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.
