I specialize in working with children, teens, and families struggling with risky/aggressive behaviors, depression, anxiety, ADHD, as well as adults and families managing lifelong psychiatric disorders, including Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and/or Schizoaffective Disorders. I also help families with young children learn to improve their ability to manage their feelings in a healthy way, solve problems, and improve communication.

Hello and Welcome! I specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, trauma, relational strain, depression, substance use, and life transitions. Choosing to engage in therapy is a potentially life changing choice and I would love to help you on your path. All individuals deserve a space to be accurately heard and a place to gain insight into the life patterns that have caused them instability and pain. I deeply believe in therapy as a joint and transformative space that can lead people to develop new skills and to discover their unique internal capacity to connect, heal, and thrive.

I am different from most therapists in that I offer solutions early in the therapy process and I give advice. I tend to work well with people who want to get better, but are not necessarily excited about seeing a therapist - or who have not benefited from therapy in the past. It is very valid to seek out a therapist simply for support. It is what a lot of people need. But it is difficult to find a therapist who will help you understand what is perpetuating your problems in a clear and actionable way - and who will offer evidence-based interventions to make your life better as soon as possible so that you can live a happier life.

I work primarily with adults and older teens with depression, anxiety and difficult life transitions. I specialize in evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) because I believe deeply in the importance of alleviating suffering and increasing happiness, and this approach has repeatedly been proven to be the most effective way of achieving results.

I help individuals find desired change, relief, and insight by increasing understanding and awareness of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I teach practical coping skills and guide clients in reprocessing distressing experiences and memories. With a mindfulness and strength-based approach, one technique I offer, as needed, is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). Through this work together, you'll connect more with your inner, positive voice and truths, and decrease automatic behaviors and thoughts that make "small" issues feel overwhelming, that cause "freezing" or fighting. This results in more comfort with yourself and more confidence with other people or situations.

The most important part of finding a good therapist is feeling comfortable with that person. You want to feel confident that there is a good fit between yourself and your therapist. Shop around until you find the therapist that feels right to you.

Building a relationship in which you feel safe and connected is my initial focus with new clients. Through this relationship we’ll work together to find a pace that allows us to pay attention to what’s working well for you as well as to what’s getting in your way. Through this early joining we’ll create a solid ground from which we can work together to help you strengthen your awareness, explore your needs and consider what might be helpful as you move into living in a way that feels more easeful, genuine and sustainable.

Thank you so much for making the choice to seek out therapy! At its core, therapy is deeply rooted in feeling seen and safe, and in identifying new patterns and skills to utilize in the present and in the future. I have primarily worked with complex developmental and acute trauma, survivors of sexual assault, PTSD, and adjusting to life changes. I also love working with college-aged individuals and adults with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and career-related changes. I am a certified EMDR therapist and work diligently to create a safe and stable space for clients of all races, ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations, and genders.

I work with children and adolescents aged 5-16 who experience challenges related to autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and low self-esteem.

I offer a genuine connection to my patients, which I believe to be the heart of psychotherapy. Each individual is unique, and so is their purpose in seeking therapy. I prioritize the relationship with individuals above any tool, or technique. As a result, I have seen my patients change and have witnessed their transformation.

Jodi Herndon has over a decade of experience providing individualized care for adults and adolescents with depression and anxiety. She has spent the last decade specializing in individuals with substance use disorders and has a dual license in this specialty.

Do you focus on everyone else's needs except your own? Do you find it difficult to put yourself as a priority, always putting your children, work, spouse, parents, friends, or family above your own needs and concerns? Do you struggle with being self-critical and a perfectionist? Has this ever resulted in symptoms of depression, anxiety, compulsive overeating, exhaustion, and/or alcohol abuse in your life?

My primary area of specialty involves psychotherapy for individuals with bipolar disorder (individual therapy, couples and/or family sessions pertaining to the disorder). In terms of broader practice areas, my work is directed towards depressive disorders, personality disorders, adjustment and transition issues (employment change, empty nesting, death of a loved one, divorce, geographic relocation, retirement, etc.), GLBT issues, as well as individuals dealing with adjustment to physical disability. I have been licensed as a psychologist and practicing for over 40+ years.

I love working with older adolescents & adults with different concerns, particularly eating disorders/body image, trauma (single event or complex), family-of-origin concerns, depression, anxiety, and cultural/identity concerns. I work well with people who feel stuck or are looking for a different approach. Highly sensitive people and people who feel like they are too much or not enough tend to be a good match, and through our work together we will understand where these narratives came from. Our work will help you understand the valuable messages your emotions are trying to send you and find better ways to get your needs met.

As a neuropsychologist, I specialize in comprehensive neuropsychological testing for adults. Additionally, I provide more targeted testing for work concerns, problems with anxiety and mood disorders, IQ testing, and personality testing for self-knowledge or other purposes for adults. I also provide testing for learning disorders and ADHD/ADD, general academic achievement, and IQ testing for gifted programs/schools or other purposes for adolescents and adults.

I provide both in person and online couples counseling and adult, individual psychotherapy. The majority of my clients are ready to continue to grow, both as individuals and in their relationships, but are finding that old patterns might be getting in the way. My goal as a clinician is to balance emotional validation and safety with action-oriented approaches.
