Jorden has a decade of experience working with adolescents and their families. She has worked in a variety of settings such as wilderness therapy, residential therapy, and community mental health. She blends evidence based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialect behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) with an approach that is grounded and experiential, so that clients can feel safe to connect to and explore themselves and the world around them.

Throughout her decade of clinical experience Jorden has had the opportunity to work with LGBTQ+ adolescents and their families. These experiences have been an important part of Jorden’s clinical practice. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community and as a social worker, she is personally and professionally invested in the protection and advancement of the rights and well being of LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and communities.

Jorden prioritizes the establishment of a safe, solid, and connected therapeutic relationship, so that clients can feel comfortable bringing their most vulnerable and authentic selves. She also recognizes the importance of maintaining or reinforcing a client’s support system, and works to facilitate transparent, honest, and vulnerable connections to foster safety and connection.

Jorden works with clients who may be experiencing mental, emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. She specializes in working with clients experiencing symptoms of depression such as hopelessness and isolation, grief and loss, trauma, and symptoms of anxiety such as excessive fear and avoidance. She works with clients who have used challenging coping skills such as substance use/misuse or self harm to find new skills, resiliency, and an empowered sense of self. She also works with neurodivergent clients to develop a compassionate and deeper understanding of themselves so they can build tricks and tools to flourish.
