Counseling

Sometimes we find ourselves on our life’s map in an area with which we are unfamiliar. It may be new territory we are exploring, or a realization that a well-worn path no longer gets us where we are trying to go. We need another person to help navigate our way. Therapy can be a place where we partner with someone and explore alternative routes. First and foremost Jorja strives to provide a safe, welcome, and inviting atmosphere where you will feel comfortable exploring your life and the issues for which you are seeking help. Jorja believes you are the expert in your life; her goal is to join you, help you harness your many strengths, and learn additional ways to approach situations. By putting new tools in your tool kit, Jorja seeks to help you become better equipped to navigate your map on your own. She specializes in working with individuals and couples presenting with issues surrounding depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug use, life transitions, relationships, and finding your authentic self. She welcomes individuals from diverse backgrounds, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, socioeconomic status, age, and physical ability.

MY COUNSELING METHOD

  • SEE

    It all starts by getting to know you. My job is to see all of you, how you are functioning, you in the context of your environment and culture, and how you are surviving.

  • ACCEPT

    The second part of counseling is to get to a place of acceptance. Both you and I will need to let go of wishing the situation you are in is any different than what it is. This is what opens the door to change.

  • CHANGE

    Here, we work together to harness your many strengths to determine what and how you would like to change.
