Derrick Jordan

I’m a licensed clinical social worker & psychotherapist, with years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families, across education, faith-based settings, mental health clinics, and community organizations. I hold a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Virginia Commonwealth University, a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, and a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University, with advanced clinical training from Ackerman Institute for the Family.

My experience also extends to providing spiritual care, which informs my ability to thoughtfully integrate faith and spiritual practices into therapy when desired. Guided by each client’s preferences and comfort, we may explore the resilience, strengths, and grounding that spirituality can offer in support of holistic healing of mind, body, and spirit.

My practice is client-centered, and rooted in respect, collaboration, and understanding of each client’s lived experience. Therapy is tailored to individual goals and values, ensuring that our work aligns with what feels meaningful and empowering for the client. My practice aims to offer an affirming and culturally responsive space to explore identity, intersectionality, minority stress, and relational concerns to support a deeper self-understanding, healthier relationships, and meaningful, sustainable growth.

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming, collaborative space where your lived experiences, values, and goals are honored. Together, we’ll explore the concerns that brought you in, your hopes for our time together, as well as what a path forward in therapy could look like.
