My name is Venetia Jordan, and I'm licensed in the state of GA as a professional counselor. I'm certified as a school counselor for the state as well. I have a very compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy and believe in working collaboratively with my clients to ensure that their needs are met, and they're able to achieve their therapy goals. I work with a wide-range of issues, including various forms of trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic illness , domestic violence, substance abuse, anger management, and more.

I appreciate how difficult it can be to ask for help when you're used to going it alone. At the same time, you may feel depleted and stressed from trying to navigate your way on your own. I've helped people from different cultural backgrounds with issues such as grief and loss, depression, anxiety, relationship and work difficulties, and illness. Many of my clients are 1st or 2nd gen in the US. I welcome all members of the adoption triad. Sometimes people seek support negotiating a current difficulty; others seek a deeper understanding of the impact of certain life events on who they are and why they behave in the way they do.

You are a Person, not a Diagnosis You are an individual with individual needs. You deserve to be treated as an individual and not as a diagnostic label. You deserve to be listened to with respect and empathy. You also deserve a therapist who offers action items to help resolve your issues. If you find yourself feeling stuck in a situation, you need a therapist who can help you find the first steps to getting unstuck.

Experiencing anxiety and stress can leave you feeling exhausted, depleted, and disconnected. You may find yourself having a difficult time balancing your many responsibilities. You may feel overwhelmed to the point that you are having a difficult time completing projects or wanting to connect with others. You are now ready to cope with your anxiety and stress, so you may once again engage in healthy loving relationships. Most of all, you are ready to live a more aligned and connected life.

I believe that self-awareness is one of the core departure points for the alleviation of suffering, and that even the simplest of lifestyle changes can create immense improvements in the quality of one’s life. Establishing a safe and trusting relationship with a therapist, can relieve psychological and physical imbalances, as well as uncover the unhealthy habits, patterns, and behaviors that lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, traumatic stress, and chronic pain. I specialize in providing holistic mental health, yoga/somatic therapy to women with mood disorders, stress related conditions, complex PTSD, and substance abuse.

There are many modalities for many people because we are all different. Each person & situation has a uniqueness and needs to be treated respectfully as such. I approach counseling, by way of collaboration, between the therapist (myself) & you (the client) in a safe space. It is you that is giving me permission to be on this journey with you.

My approach to therapy is authentic, warm, strengths-based, and collaborative. I try to be an active participant in the therapy room and will be direct as appropriate. As a practitioner, I believe that the patient is the expert on their own life and view therapy as an opportunity for the patient to collect a myriad of tools with which they can heal themselves.

There are many things to consider when starting therapy. It can be overwhelming to find a good therapist who is also a good fit. I specialize in mood disorders (anxiety, depression and bipolar d/o) and OCD (obsessive-compulsive d/o) with clients of a diverse age range. I also work with clients who have long-standing relational and personality issues. I work from a holistic model and I help clients to make small changes across many areas of their lives: physical and mental health, social support, stress reduction, spirituality/faith (if there is a desire to incorporate it), while holding the cultural context of each person in mind.

I am curious about you. I want to know your thoughts and feelings, your strengths and struggles. I want to get to hear your story. I see therapy as a journey we take as a team: working together to find the right path to meet your goals. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, life stress, or maybe just want to give therapy a try, I’d love to talk.

I am honored that you are here. Within our therapeutic relationship, my goal is to make you feel supported and accepted as I walk beside you during your time in therapy.

My approach is client-focused and centered on voices of all identities, backgrounds, and experiences.

I believe therapy is holistic work where we learn to recognize the strength that lies within ourselves as we retell our stories. I am eager to walk beside those in the trenches and give them a safe space to process the things that may feel too heavy to hold alone. I bring a collaborative approach to therapy in a non-judgmental environment where clients are empowered to be their whole selves and move toward healing and growth. I believe the reason people begin counseling can point toward a deeper story that we can explore and work through together.

Maybe, but for now you just want to find a way out. Once you do, maybe you will discover there is work to do. Maybe, there is something missing? How can one fill this void? How does one rid themselves of experiences they don't take the time to confront? Lets start the healing process.
