In addition to providing maternal mental health services, I provide child play therapy for young and school age children.
My passion and dedication to the work is evident upon our first meeting. My positive energy stems from the belief that change is possible and I come to restore hope. I provide an open, compassionate and non judgmental space for my clients to explore their past and present lives. Collaboratively, we work together, at your pace, to obtain the goals that you identify. I believe that parenting is a journey that we undertake without a map and, at times, along the way, we all get lost. And, together, we can create a new path that feels good to you.

I help my clients, who include children, adults and families, to find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole and safe.
Hello, My name is Jordan Wilson. I am an outpatient therapist at Clearview Health & Wellness Group in Longmeadow, MA. I received my Bachelor’s of Social Work at Delaware state University in Dover, DE. I then went on to Springfield College in Springfield, MA where I received my MSW at the school of social work. Over the course of receiving an education I came to realize that when human beings experience trauma or severe life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Massachusetts provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Massachusetts build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
