Hi. My name is Jalanda Jordan and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have a person-centered approach to therapy and work with individuals who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, stress, and low self-esteem.

Hi, My name is Tashai Gilman-Brown and I'm a licensed professional counselor. My therapeutic approach consists of cognitive behavioral therapy and person-centered therapy. My focus consists of working with individuals and couples who have concerns with anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or substance use/abuse.

When life's challenges become overwhelming, it can feel isolating and exhausting. You may find yourself struggling to cope with stress, emotions, or relationships. In these moments, it's important to know that you don't have to navigate these difficulties alone. As a therapist, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore and reclaim your inner strengths and resources. Together, we will identify the changes needed in your life to help you become the best version of yourself, honoring your unique individuality. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on helping you achieve tangible results that enhance your mental and emotional well-being. It is truly an honor and privilege to sit beside you as you embark on your journey of change and growth. I am dedicated to supporting you every step of the way, offering guidance and insight as you work towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. I look forward to hearing from you and beginning this transformative process together.

My treatment approach is to help people understand their current life problems and teach strategies and tools to help manage unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I understand the importance of the relationship between therapist and client, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment which facilitates change and leads to resolution of problems. With an incorporation of complimentary approaches, I draw from an array of techniques and methodologies to build a treatment plan that will be most helpful for the client. In a supportive and comfortable environment, I provide a highly individualized approach customized to each of my clients specific needs to help them achieve the personal growth they're reaching for. By collaborating with each client, I work to cultivate strengths and accomplish life goals.

Hey there! If you've been told you're “too sensitive,” or feel like your emotions have the aux cord and refuse to give it back, then know you’re not alone and you're in the right place! Maybe you handle stress by rage-texting the group chat or expertly pretending problems don’t exist (1010 method, truly). If this sounds familiar, hi, you’re not alone. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with me is real talk, practical skills, and a little humor. We’ll untangle the chaos together so you can feel more like yourself without pretending life isn’t messy sometimes. My clients have called me “affirming, playful, authentic, and a little playful.” Basically a hype person but with a game plan. I’m big on compassion and practicality, so you’ll get validation and actual skills. Think: acceptance plus change equals building a life you actually want to show up for. If you've done therapy before and finished it still missing a piece, then I'd be more than happy to help you find it. I believe that life can be joyful even after experiencing challenges. It's all about finding the balance between accepting (not approving) things we can't change, while skillfully doing something about the things that we can.

As the facilitator of the process the focus is to build trust and provide sanctuary through the course as you build healthy, deeper and more fulfilling relationships. My philosophy is that you will respond according to emotional needs that are not being met which can then effect your relationships with romantic partners, family members, friends and co-workers. Allowing you the opportunity to uncover those needs elicits feelings of safety, being heard and valued. Relationship concerns like ineffective communication, medical illness, sexual variances, depression and other mood issues are where the bulk of my experience and interests lie. The therapy process can sometimes be daunting as many are leery of old issues being surfaced; together, we can address these concerns successfully.
