Jordan Kerben
LMFT, RPT

Jordan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Play Therapist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. She utilizes child-centered play therapy when working with children, which is a developmentally appropriate approach that meets the child where they are in their journey in order to foster positive change towards healing. By utilizing children’s natural language of play as well as nurturing an understanding and empathetic therapeutic relationship, children are able to process their experiences and emotions in the non-judgmental space of therapy.  She views therapy through a systemic lens, often involving the family system in therapy.
