Therapists in Massapequa, NY
I'm Sandra Jordan, Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. The greatest lesson I've learned is that the most beautiful person you can be is yourself. Day to day we're faced with traditional/societal "norms" and told if you step outside this box you've somehow fallen short. Many face depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, destructive perfectionism, and more just trying to "measure up". I became a therapist to help people push through to better mental health and wellness.

Navigating the complexities of womanhood can be challenging. Women often face issues such as poor body image, low self-esteem, and emotional or disordered eating, which can significantly impact their well-being and relationships. Additionally, women encounter unique mental health concerns related to the perinatal spectrum, from fertility struggles to postpartum depression. During our therapy sessions, I will collaborate with you to identify and implement changes that foster your well-being.

Welcome! I have been described as bubbly, easy to talk to, and non-judgmental. I believe this is because I see myself as a human being first and a therapist second. I understand that, at their core, people simply want to be seen, heard, and understood. That’s why I prioritize getting to know my clients and fostering a genuine connection. I believe real change and healing happen when vulnerability is met with safety and compassion. Creating a space where clients feel secure enough to be seen in their most authentic form is at the heart of my work. Because of this, I consider it a privilege when someone chooses to work with me.

People worry every day. Some worriers "worry all their lives." Excessive, non-productive WORRY may lead to symptoms seen in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), irritability and depression. There may be misguided behavioral strategies or unresolved experiences that prevent more productive use of worry and subsequent self-esteem enhancement. I will help you understand your worrying behavior, learn about how to live with uncertainty and consider strategies and new behaviors you have not yet thought about. I pride myself in my ability to develop good working relationships with my clients, a crucial part of therapy.

Anxiety and stress are normal reactions to life's challenges. Anxiety can help us focus on solving problems or achieving success. But when anxiety begins to spiral and take over, it can be paralyzing, negatively affecting our relationships, school/career performance and mental and physical health. If you are experiencing chronic worry, panic, obsessive fears, social anxiety, stress at work/school, or marital difficulties, I can help by teaching you proven strategies to conquer your symptoms by changing negative thoughts and unhelpful behaviors. You will learn more effective coping techniques, gain back control and focus more on living a productive, happier life.
