LMFT, 20 years of experience
My name is Judy Jordan and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years years of professional experience in counseling with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I took an evening course in Psychology 5 when starting school, and by the end of it , I knew I wanted to become a therapist. I was drawn to understanding people on a deeper level and helping them through their struggles. With support from my dad, I left my job and went back to school starting from scratch. I loved every minute of learning and felt more certain with each class that I was on the right path. My dedication paid off...I earned straight A's and received the Academic Achievement Award in Psychology. More importantly I found a sense of purpose in supporting others on their mental health journeys.
I always want to know if a client is nervous and if it is their first time in therapy? I then ask them what brings them into therapy at this time? This leads to a lot of conversation. Then I ask them what their goals are for their therapy. I always save time for any questions they have.
My greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to quickly establish rapport and build trust, my ability to be transparent, and to set the client at ease. I am not judgmental and I allow the client to have their own ideas and thoughts, and feelings. My ability to show up everyday and be of service.
I accept teens, adults, couples,, and allow them to be who they are. I am dedicated to creating a safe environment to maximize their full potential. I have a proven work record with a diverse populations and effectively managing a wide range of personalities. I am quickly able to establish rapport and build trust.
I use the Gottman 7 Principles when seeing couples and find it most helpful to the couples and most rewarding.
I use Mindfulness to help clients live in the here and now and stay in the present and experience one day at a time.
I teach Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to show how client's thoughts affect their thoughts and feelings.
I am a Grief Recovery Specialist. I work from a book called Grief Recovery and the client works along. At the end of the treatment the client writes a special and powerful letter to the deceased.

We only met with Judy once, but she was warm, knowledgeable, and helpful in getting us on the right track.

Judy helped my wife and I deepen our connection by providing a safe and supportive environment. The Gottman exercises and information she shared was very helpful. There were certain topics we wanted to explore more, which were out of Judy's expertise. She was honest with us about that and encouraged us to find another practitioner that could help. We're grateful for our time with Judy.
