Psychodynamic Therapists in Bedford, TX

Jordan is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Art Therapist who works from client-centered and solution-focused theories with adolescents and adults who are wanting to instill their individual definition of positive change. She is a passionate advocate of creative expression and utilizes art-making in her sessions. She believes art is another form of communication when words sometimes cannot adequately portray the rawness of our emotions.

Despite the vast amounts of challenges that life may throw our way, I truly believe that mental flexibility and perseverance may be cultivated by anyone who would seek it. It allows one to bend in the winds of change without breaking, while adjusting and evaluating new wisdoms and perspectives that may be applied to one's life situations. The mind of an individual can be as flexible as one's ability to imagine it to be, when given the support and permission to do so through my integrative and pragmatic approach to therapy.

We deal with daily obstacles that challenge our ability to grow and develop balanced and healthy relationships. I know that we get "stuck" with our emotions and behaviors which could sometimes create distress for us and the ones we love.

Accepting NEW clients! Hello! I am a Licensed Master Social Worker who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Do you need help with an addiction? Are you having troubles with your marriage? Experiencing anxiety? Depression? I am not the type of counselor that sits and stares at you and then asks you how you feel. I offer very workable strategies that you can apply to make a difference. I believe that what you think has an impact on what you do! It is important to process your thoughts and draw the correlation to your actions, healthy or unhealthy.

I have a Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of North Texas. I have been licensed as a counselor in Texas since 2008.I am a licensed psychologist and licensed professional counselor supervisor. My areas of expertise include diagnosing and treating mental illness, such as depression and anxiety. I specialize in treating adolescents and families with various issues, such as anger, behavior problems, and relational difficulties. Given my nearly 13 years of experience in the counseling field, I am comfortable utilizing an eclectic approach to treatment, based on the individual needs of the client.

I began counseling after 20+ years in business. My son's addiction struggles changed my career path, and I ran a parenting nonprofit for 10 years. Addiction experts helped me understand the development of my son's addiction and introduced me to best practices to heal addicts and families. One discovery in this journey is that addiction isn't limited to substances such as drugs and alcohol. Otherwise healthy behaviors can be addictive when they become compulsive, such as sex, eating, exercise, and gambling. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), giving me specialized training in process addictions.

"The purpose of psychotherapy is to set people free" (May, Rollo). You may feel bound by a broken heart, childhood, or a traumatic experience. Or maybe you are in a tough season and need support for a time. Well, your desire to change your circumstance is the first step to setting yourself free and creating the life you want. To take a holistic approach, we will also look at your significant relationships. Healthy relationships are at the core of overall wellness. I will help you to assess the quality of your current relationship(s) and move towards more meaningful connections.

The saying, "It is the relationship that heals," is of central focus with my work with clients. I aim to accompany them as they gain insight into their situation and who they are as an individual. This results in added options in managing and enhancing life. We know that problematic areas are multi-determined and multi-layered. Examining and understanding the inter relatedness of all the forces of life allows for overall growth and symptom reduction. This process is a powerful ingredient that spurs lasting change across life stages, relationships and the overall experience of life.

I am passionate about working with clients throughout the lifespan, and believe in a collaborative, creative approach to therapy while creating a safe therapeutic environment that promotes hope and healing. I believe in an Emotionally Focused therapeutic approach designed to strengthen relationship bonds and help teenagers, young adults, and seasoned adults develop emotional maturity, heal from trauma, grief, and improve/repair attachment bonds in a safe, nurturing environment.

I am an LPC Associate who believes in trusting the process of moment-by-moment, daily transformation. In a safe environment and relaxed body, we can explore emotions understand defenses, and notice the response in our bodies so that we can grow and heal. I believe in human resilience and seek to provide the resources, support, and courage to move through what life dishes out. I find healthy ways to integrate challenging experiences into our daily lives. I help widen the space between stimulus and response (Viktor Frankl), empowering people to choose the response that will enable them to be their best versions.

The path to healing is a spiritual, physical, and psychological process. Utilizing an integrative approach, my goal for every client is to help them discover healing through an intimate relationship with Christ. Together, I will walk with you as you discover areas in your life; in your thought processes and in your relationships, that require understanding, encouragement, and awareness in order to arrive at true healing.

I know it can be difficult to find someone you really feel safe with, who you can trust, who won't judge you. I'd be honored to be that person. As someone who works with the whole person, I understand the importance of religion within all faith groups. I also love working with those who identify as poly, LGBTQIA+, and in the kink community. If you're currently in a place where you're thinking, "I don't know if I can do this anymore" or if you sometimes wonder if you're "too broken" to feel better, don't give up. You've taken the first step to getting help. You are worth following through and seeing what the next steps can offer.
