LMSW-C, 6 years of experience
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 six 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.

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 get know you, the client. To allow you to drive the conversation and to get a better understanding what brought you to therapy. Working collaboratively to create a plan that will best assist you with your goals and aspirations that you want to gain from therapy.
As a social worker I have really grasped the person centered plan. My clients are the expert in their own lives. I am able to work with a diverse group of clients, specializing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disabilities. I am approachable and empathetic. I will always try to walk a mile in my client's shoes.
I love working with clients who are driven to work at a partnership in their own success. I believe that every win, no matter how small is a win. I I am certified to work with children and adults.

I feel like it was a good intake. She is going to be sending me some homework to do and gave me some things to start working on in order to start healing my mind. I am going to start incorporating the ideas that she gave me.
