Jordan Harber
Hi I'm Jordan and welcome to my practice. I specialize in working with adults with high-functioning Autism (formerly Asperger's) as well as help clients with addiction concerns.
I utilize an attachment framework to focus on processing key relationships in your life, while offering DBT skills and other practical tools to help regulate your emotions so that you can respond well in any situation.
If you or your adult child is on the spectrum and struggling to put words to their emotions, implement real change, or develop friendships, these are very common concerns and I would be happy to meet with you or your child to work through those concerns. I also support clients (ASD or not) with addiction concerns ranging from porn to alcohol and many other drugs. I enjoy my work and ensure that my clients never feel judged and leave feeling empowered to make the changes that are essential for their life.
First session
In my first session I will connect with a client and help them identify their goals. I will help them understand what the therapeutic process is like, as well as ask them a variety of questions about themselves and their relationships. In order to provide clients with the best care possible, I find it is important to discuss a client's mental, relational, and sometimes physical health history, and I will do the bulk of this work in the first session.
Strengths
I consistently am able to connect with my clients regardless of their background, and I specialize in connecting and supporting adults with Autism. Unfortunately, many adults with Autism feel a lack of connection to others, and so it is all the more important to be able to connect with them and help support them from a place of relationship rather than providing a list of to-do's. I am warm and encouraging while also holding clients accountable to changing in ways that may be challenging for them. Feel free to reach out, I would love to connect and see if we might be a good fit.
Ideal clients
I specialize in helping young adults navigate the complexities of dealing with life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, addiction, depression, and I also work with high functioning individuals on the spectrum of Autism. This often includes building and maintaining social relationships, identifying and managing emotions, and sometimes using skills to maintain consistent stress management habits. If you often feel alone, misunderstood, or just different from those around you, you are likely an ideal client for my work. I keep my sessions practical and goal oriented to help my clients get the most out of each session.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I use DBT to support clients in identifying ways to manage their stress and intense emotions through practical coping skills and mindfulness techniques.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I use ACT to help clients identify and accept their emotions - even the uncomfortable ones.
Attachment-based
I help clients recognize and process their attachment style in order to improve their family and romantic relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT provides a great framework to help clients identify cognitive distortions that may be contributing to their ongoing sense of anxiety, depression, or other stress-related issues.
Strength-Based
It is so essential to help clients identify their strengths, especially when they feel they have none. I prioritize this in my therapy in order to help clients build a sense of identity and self-efficacy.
