Teletherapy for 21702

The idea of exploring therapy can be difficult, confusing, and uncomfortable. It can also be your first step toward health, balance, and emotional freedom. You can achieve this from the privacy and comfort of your own home via telehealth. I have been helping individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process for over 18 years by identifying and changing unconscious beliefs that sabotage personal/relational success and emotional well being. My special interests and certifications are in informed trauma therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans mental health and telehealth.

Often times, individuals and families struggle with issues beyond understanding or don't have an individual to provide an unbiased approach to life's problems. Sometimes those seeking therapy have a support system that doesn't know how to best assist in their issues. Some individuals don't have a support system and need help navigating isolation. Some couples want to feel heard, validated, and respected by their partner and struggle with communication. In all, therapy can provide a safe place for positive growth to occur as individuals, families, and couples work to achieve healthier approaches to a majority of life's problems.

Congratulations! You’ve made the first bold step towards your journey of recovery. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, OCD, depression, Grief/Loss or other issues, help is available. As a multicultural and diversity sensitive counselor, I will meet you right where you are and help guide you towards healing and freedom. You will find my therapeutic style insightful, engaging, and nonjudgmental. I work with adults from ages 18+.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

My ideal client is someone who comes to therapy in a time of need. They might be experiencing anxiety for the first time due to life changes and transitions or may be concerned as to where the anxiety came from. The client might be processing loss or grief from a loved one or past friendships and or relationships. My ideal client will have needs such as needing to identify coping skills to get through life stressors, assistance with reaching goals. As a therapist I would be able to provide the client with a objective perspective to bounce their ideas and situations off of.

I offer a chance for you to look at your struggles in a different way by peeling back the layers and having an honest discussion. By leaning on your strengths and developing new ones, we can work together to help you create a plan to address the concerns that have brought you to therapy. My style is compassion with a blend of humor, trust, honesty, cheerleading, concern, and grace. I will meet you where you are in order to help you take your next steps. Today is a great day to start this journey, and I am honored to walk alongside you. Do you think we are a match? Give me a call. Together, we got this!

Bessel van der Kolk once wrote that “trauma is not just an event that took place sometime in the past; it is also the imprint left by that experience on the mind, brain, and body. This imprint has ongoing consequences for how the human organism manages to survive in the present.” I have come to have enormous respect for the wide range of defense mechanisms each of us creates to help us survive trauma and problematic fits with our environment. I enjoy helping others to understand and cultivate compassion towards these parts of ourselves and to build new, more adaptive ways of coping and ultimately thriving.

Life Challenges...Emotional Pain... Hopelessness... Anger...Fear...Sadness...Rejection...can take us on an uncomfortable journey that impedes on our day to day lives.  Are you looking for someone to guide you in sorting out overwhelming feelings and emotions? Are you having a difficult time setting boundaries and giving yourself permission to set boundaries?  I am here to help you explore and process your individual pain and emotional needs in a safe environment.

I have 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and assessment for individuals with a wide range of referring questions and issues. My philosophy as a clinician is that change requires work one small step at a time, and I am happy to be an active guide in this process of change. My approach is active and goal-focused, and I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each individual or couple that I meet.

Seeking therapy is a brave first step! My work largely centers around women's issues, healing from trauma, young adult adjustment issues, relationship difficulties, and helping clients struggling with anxiety (OCD/GAD) and depression. My goal is to help my clients reach their full potential in their personal, relational and professional lives.

Hey, I'm Arielle Jordan. I am the owner of Mindset Quality. I'm a National Certified Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Maryland. I have been in the mental health field for over eight years. I earned my BA degree in Psychology and MS degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I'm currently earning my Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. Your goals are important to me! I have experience treating adults who suffer from various mental health challenges. I take a person-centered approach to therapy, which means you are treated as a person first. I focus on the strengths, not the condition or disability.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you often wonder if life can feel better in some way? That you could be more content? We know life can throw complex challenges our way that can change the way we view the world, our relationships and, at times, ourselves. Not taking time for yourself, and pushing away your own needs, can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe these experiences can be transformed to serve as sources of empowerment and growth.

Making a change starts with admitting that the current way of doing things just isn’t working. Next is having the courage to ask for help. We can’t stop challenges from coming our way, but we can change how we choose to handle them. Leaving one’s comfort zone & accepting responsibility for one’s choices, thoughts & emotions can be difficult. This is where connecting with the right therapist is crucial. Key indicators for successful therapy outcomes include a strong bond with your therapist & committing to making a change. As a therapist, I create a safe, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment in which clients can thrive.

For me, there is no ideal client. To some extent, everyone is on a spectrum of depression and anxiety, and I seek to work with clients who need assistance becoming oriented toward improvement. I have personal and professional experience and understand how difficult it is to find someone patient enough to grow alongside a client through the therapeutic process. I want to work alongside you to help you live a happy, meaningful life with these conditions.

"Emotional pain is not something that should be hidden away and never spoken about. There is truth in your pain, there is growth in your pain, but only if it's first brought out into the open" - Steven Aitchison. Life's challenges can create feelings of hopelessness, and even skew our sense of worth. You are not alone...I would love to join you on the journey towards healing and empowerment.

I enjoy helping women from all walks of life build up their self worth so that they can love themselves, overcome any major life transition, and learn how to manage their emotions and stress. Famous words I live by are “ Stay true to you because there is only one YOU!”

I'm a queer neurodivergent therapist deeply committed to promoting meaningful change in the lives of neurodivergent folx struggling with disordered eating, obsessional doubt, and anxiety. My practice is grounded in a liberatory and equity framework that recognizes the impact of systemic oppression on mental health. I embrace an anti-carceral approach to care where clients actively shape their treatment under my guidance. I strive to show up authentically for my clients to help them challenge societal expectations and cultural norms. If you've ever been told you're "too much" or "not enough," we might be a good fit.

Have you been diagnosed with or suspect you have ADHD. Are you someone who works hard, is determined, has the desire to improve themselves, but find it difficult and challenging? You say to yourself, "Why is it so easy for everyone else? Why cant I do it?" Have you had people tell you that you get too upset, you're too emotional and take things too personally. You try and control our emotions, but you can't help but feel deeply. You may have difficulties in communication, making or keeping friends, following conversations, interrupting, and distraction. Living with ADHD can make life very difficult.
