Donita Jordan’s Therapist Disclosure Statement <<< (Clickable)
My focus is to serve couples, families, and individuals working through life, struggle, and hopelessness. I have a passion to see couples thrive, overcome, and stay on the path of commitment. I have a genuine heart to see people healed and fully functioning in life. I trust in the human tendency to realize his or her full potential. I believe humans have the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. I desire to hold a safe space for client’s growth while addressing their presenting problem.
Therapeutic relationships are important. I desire to foster and maintain respectful and honest relationships. People are responsible for themselves and their story. I understand that it is a collaborative effort to guide them toward their true self. I believe empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard creates a climate of client growth.
People are self-directing and have the ability to choose their own goals. I will be present for my clients, build rapport, and stay open to feedback about their needs and expectations. I am committed to bring into the room what I already possess; love, acceptance, compassion, empathy, hope, and freedom for you to be your authentic self.

Q&A with Liv
1.) Some therapists are more comfortable addressing the immediate problem, while others want to focus on the deeper issue. Which are you?
I prefer to delve into the deeper issues!
2.) Do you tend to lead the session, or follow my lead?
I tend to let my client lead the session since I believe my clients are the experts on their own experiences.
3.) What are your strengths as a therapist?
Conversations with my family make me laugh the most.
4.) If you had one superpower, what would it be and why?
I would choose teleportation so I could see any of my family members from anywhere in a moment’s notice!
5.) What makes you laugh?
Interactions with my friends and family will make me laugh until my abs hurt and I start wheezing. I love to laugh at life’s ironic moments, and I especially enjoy a double entendre.
6.) Who would you have dinner with, dead or alive?
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be my grandma Betty!
