Jourdan Brickey- Self Reclamation After Survival
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who works with women, nonbinary clients, and couples who are tired of simply holding everything together and want to feel more connected to themselves and their lives. Together, we’ll look honestly at the patterns, expectations, and experiences that shaped how you learned to cope and what you may want to do differently now.
My approach is eclectic and trauma-informed, grounded in clinical training from NCAT and lived experience within today’s social and cultural pressures.
My approach combines honest reflection with practical tools to help you understand the patterns that shaped you, build greater self-trust, and create meaningful change that feels sustainable and true to who you are. I offer body-positive, LGBTQ+ affirming, and anti-oppressive care.
First session
In the first session clients can expect to go over background information and speak about what is bringing them to therapy. We will learn more about them and what they are experiencing. I will provide information on any diagnosis they may be experiencing or questions they may have, information about paperwork completed, and provide information on what to expect moving forward in therapy sessions.
Strengths
I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a strong ability to connect the dots between what you’re experiencing now and the patterns that shaped how you learned to cope. I’m especially attuned to clients who are used to being capable and holding everything together, but may have a harder time understanding their own needs. I offer a space that is both supportive and thoughtful, with practical tools and honest reflection that help turn insight into meaningful change.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in cycles of anxiety, perfectionism, or emotional burnout. Many of my clients are navigating life transitions, relationship stress, identity shifts, or the lasting impact of trauma.
Treatment methods
Eclectic
I don’t believe therapy should be one-size-fits-all. I draw from several approaches including trauma-informed, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral, relational, and mindfulness-based work to understand what is happening beneath the surface and what will be most useful for you. We’ll explore the patterns you’ve developed, where they came from, and whether they still serve you, while also building practical tools for creating something different. The goal is both deeper self-understanding and meaningful change in your everyday life.
