Hi there! My name is Jordan and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate at Healing Hearts Therapeutic Services in Raeford, NC. My mission is to provide a therapeutic relationship that is built on trust and safety. I am passionate about using the therapeutic process to help my clients and their families develop skills that allow them to flourish in all areas of life. My focus is centered around working with children experiencing behavioral problems, anxiety, trauma-related issues, and mood disorders.

I have personal experience in the challenges of being a wife and mother. I have dealt with the struggles of deciding the courses of treatment for my children.

We live in difficult times but together we can find a way to navigate through to brighter days. Life experiences has brought me to this place and time to help others.

I am a creative, non-judgmental, and warm therapist. I often use gentle humor, firm encouragement, and curiosity in my approach to working with my clients. Through my art therapy practice, I focus on authenticity and operate from an intersectional, person-centered, relational cultural, and existential perspective. Each client’s artwork serves as the cornerstone of our session, and I allow the client’s interpretation to form the language that we use throughout. My clients say that in our work they feel heard, respected, and valued.

The power to make positive changes is within us all. The goal of holistic wellness is to "change the lens" and give a healthier perspective for a peaceful and more content life. Our intention is to provide a confidential, professional and supportive environment in which individuals and families can identify problem areas, explore what prevents the problem from being solved, and help you develop and learn skills that can enhance your quality of life.

I conduct individual, marriage, family, group, adolescent, and substance abuse counseling. Because counseling is an interactive process, your commitment, cooperation and open communications will greatly enhance our counseling relationship. This will be extremely beneficial in helping to address/change your thoughts, feeling, and actions or behaviors. Since there are no instant or immediate permanent resolutions to life's challenges, I am asking that you be patient as we work towards an acceptable solution. To facilitate this process, you will be given homework assignments and encouraged to participate in various exercises and projects, as required.
