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. I have experience with working with children, teens and adults with developmental disabilities. As a clinician that practices Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) certified professional, you can be confident I have the skill-set necessary to work with a diverse array of clients. My focus is "You" the individual, and I encourage all my clients to help assist in utilizing and engaging in the recommended treatments thus giving them needed satisfaction in their own successes. 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.

**About Me** Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Master's Level Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan with over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate life’s challenges. I received my master’s degree from Wayne State University and began my career in a multicultural school system before moving into both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings in urban communities. These diverse experiences have allowed me to support adults, children, and older adults facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, ADHD, depression, domestic violence, developmental disabilities, severe mental illness, life transitions, and relationship conflicts. I believe that therapy is most effective when it honors each client’s unique background, core values, and lived experience. I approach every therapeutic relationship with compassion, cultural humility, and respect. Whether you are seeking support for emotional healing, personal growth, or navigating complex family or cultural dynamics, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and truly heard. Being trilingual in English, Arabic, and Chaldean, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with immigrant and first-generation individuals and families. I understand the emotional complexities of adapting to a new culture while trying to preserve the values of your culture of origin. This dual experience can create internal and relational struggles that are often misunderstood — but in our work together, those experiences will be honored and explored with care and empathy. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strength-based. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) while tailoring each intervention to fit your specific needs and goals. My aim is not only to support you through your current challenges but to equip you with tools and insights that remain with you after our sessions have ended-and for a lifetime.

Hi, I'm Sara, here to help you manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and toxic perfectionism. Are you feeling lost? Struggling to find yourself, frustrated, and feeling not good enough? You may feel burdened by the expectations of who and what you are “supposed” to be. You’re a high achiever with even higher standards, and you’ve worked hard to get to this point. Yet still, you’re not seeing results. You wonder what the missing piece is. I’m here to help you identify the obstacles that get in your way, practice self-compassion, and let go of old messaging and unhelpful coping mechanisms. Through our work, you can build better, healthier thinking and behavioral patterns that bring you closer to your most authentic self. You may be used to figuring it all out by yourself, but that is both draining and lonely. Take a chance and invite me in, as your companion on your wellness journey.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Michigan rather than a city like Detroit?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Michigan from Grand Rapids to Warren! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Michigan.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
