My name is Judy Jordan and I a a licensed Marriage family Therapist with over twenty years of professional experience in counseling with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I am adept at accepting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families and allowing them to be who they are. Dedicated to creating a safe environment for children, teens, adults, couples, and families to maximize their full potential. A proven work record with diverse client population and effectively managing a wide range of personalities. Able to quickly establish rapport.
In the first session we would get to know each other and talk and ask and answer questions. We would talk about why the client is here. We would talk about their goals. We would talk about their concerns for therapy. We would talk about what issues they would like to work on. We would talk about their fears for therapy. We would talk about if they had ever been in therapy before, how long, and what was the topic they worked on?
My greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to quickly able to 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 try to have interventions for my clients so they can learn when necessary and take action in their therapy.
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.
