Hello! My name is Acanthus and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since 2013, I've worked with emerging adults, adults, and older adults through a trauma-informed lens to heal wounds, jump over roadblocks, and foster resilience. I use a collaborative approach, pulling from psychodynamic theories, CBT, and relational therapy to help meld the bridge between where you are and where you want to be. If you are ready to start your journey, take a look through my website to see all that I offer and connect with me!

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. My approach to the client-therapist relationship is to provide a safe space. I encourage healthy displays of emotions. I believe it's okay to laugh or cry - it's okay to dream big and admit failures. I give room for you to speak your truth without fear of judgement. What to expect from Day 1 - we'll speak about steps you can take to immediately begin redefining your vision of yourself, your life and any stumbling blocks that may be before you. We'll make an initial plan on how we can work together to break negative cycles and tear down barriers that prevent you from thriving as your authentic self.

Life can be incredibly difficult and even tragic at times. Abrupt transitions; mental and physical illness; even a simple lack of direction can all constitute overwhelming obstacles. We often find ourselves needing an outside perspective and a supportive environment to sort through our jumbled thoughts and emotions. Mental Health Counseling can provide this. For the past six years I have specialized in treating anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, and life-transition related issues. I offer a unique clinical perspective heavily based in the philosophies of Stoicism, Existentialism, and Mindfulness. In conjunction with the insights of Evolutionary Psychology, Personality Psychology, and Cognitive Psychology we can build a plan to help you move forward while gaining personal insights and building resilience. I so look forward to working with you and to being a part of your journey. With support, empathy, and encouragement we can all thrive. Reach out today and we will get you scheduled to assess your needs and to make a plan of action to help you actualize your amazing potential.

I am a NYS Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My main focus is helping couples who have become stuck. Watching them connect again reminds me why I chose this field. I also enjoy transitioning those recently divorced people by helping to fill the newly formed hole in their life. Watching them transform, gain strength, and smile again brings me so much joy. I have been working with people for five years and I enjoy what I do. I have met so many kind people who allowed me into their world. I also happen to be a kindergarten teacher during the day.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Calling a therapist can be intimidating; take a moment, maybe even a deep breath. Allow me the opportunity to create a safe and Zen space for you. Together we can begin this journey of personal growth and healing. There is no pivotal time like the present to take this step to elevate yourself out of the cycle of bad relationships, grudges, trauma, or being anxious/angry all the time. We will collaboratively work to obtain clarity through mindfulness. I practice from an eclectic and client-centered approach, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a unique space just for you. Therapy should be an exclusive experience for every individual, family, and couple. Let us begin this process of greater conciseness and living your best life. Give yourself a break; change can be challenging. Let's work towards breaking free of old patterns, creating balance in your life, and your natural capacity to heal. Your transformation starts NOW!
