Beth Jordan, M.A., LPCC ; LADC
We all encounter difficulties in life, and sometimes need help overcoming them. I would like to help you become happier and healthier as you overcome problems. I believe therapy should be a collaboration between the therapist and the client, and I can offer specialized skills such as EMDR for assisting you with trauma or PTSD. I offer flexible scheduling, including some evenings and weekend appointments.
I grew up in a military family. Members of my family have served in all branches of the armed services, and have been deployed in most of the major military operations and wars in the last century. I know how much this can impact family members. I believe that people in the emergency services and military operate in hypervigilant and stressful environments that sabotage their personal health and happiness. There are ways to correct this that can result in reduced stress and greater personal effectiveness.
I have 21 years of experience as a licensed Police Officer, and am now retired. I have also been a licensed EMT for much of that time. I have experience as a peer counselor, working with CISM teams, as a member of SWAT team, as a crisis negotiator, and running a Police Chaplaincy unit. I teach both Law Enforcement and Psychology courses at the college level, and also do public speaking on topics such as self defense for women and personal safety.
