Jacqueline Gordon, LPCC - Along with compassion and authenticity, I use several evidence-based techniques to help individuals reach their goals. Often those include reducing anxiety and depression, navigating life events and decisions, improving relationships, or ending harmful ones, reducing work or family stress, increasing self-confidence, and healing from trauma or attachment wounds.
My approach
I use an integrative approach drawing on Mindfulness, Psychotherapy, and CBT to help people with anxiety, depression, relationships, and trauma. I work with people to manage the effects of trauma and stress by helping them develop awareness of unhealthy thought and behavior patterns and renew their attachment. We work together toward reconnecting to self and strengthening mind/body connection.
My focus
I work with adolescents, teens, adults, and couples who have experienced symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and adjustment disorder, amongst other things. I provide a safe space for those who are hoping to gain insight into their experiences and develop adaptive coping skills to adjust to their struggles. Among the other issues, I have assisted individuals who are struggling with ADHD, Bipolar, Workforce burnout, Educational challenges, Communication problems, Grief, and issues, related to systemic oppression.
My communication style
Whatever brings you here today, you are likely looking for someone you can trust and a place where you can feel safe to share personal aspects of yourself. I will listen to you, help you make sense of what may be happening in your life, and help you get to where you want to be. You will feel empowered to take control of your life and navigate your therapeutic process while we work together to lay the groundwork for your renewed and/or new beginning.
My journey to mental healthcare
My career as a therapist came about as a result of my desire to give to others what was given to me during my graduate years in school. In 2002, my professor said to me: Jacqueline - in order to understand and help clients, you must first be a client yourself. Not only did this open my eyes to why I had chosen this field, but it was the beginning of my self-discovery, and my career followed.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting by listening to your discussion about what brings you in for therapy. From that advantage point, you identify and process your thoughts/feelings about your goals, and how I can help you to reach them.
My first session with you
During the initial intake session, we will discuss your strengths, barriers to emotional success, and challenges and develop a flexible treatment plan that includes the steps you desire to take to reach your wellness goals.
