I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps individuals and couples navigate life’s more difficult and complex experiences.

Hello, I'm Jordan. I may have the honor of being your therapist and serve you through the season you're in. Whether that season brings marital challenges, relationship issues, infidelity, heartbreak, anger, depression, anxiety, or feeling lost, I will be dedicated to helping you process, connect, and grow towards intentional change and
perspective.
In over seven years of experience I have developed a passion for people and their individual stories and relationships. I'm commited to join your story and be a listening and supportive witness in your growth as your therapist—to see that the necessary uncomfortable is possible.
Hello and welcome to my psychotherapy practice. My name is Matthew and I have been practicing as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Francisco and Los Angeles for over twenty years. I honor diversity and inclusion and provide a curious, non-judgmental space for reflection, healing and transformation. As a therapist, I bring a mix of pragmatic feedback and practical skills development to empower my clients to grow and change. As an Attachment-Focused EMDR therapist, I support clients with PTSD and interpersonal trauma to heal and become more present. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and Drama Therapy from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and I serve individuals, couples, families, youth, and the LGBTQ community.
I work collaboratively to explore patterns that may leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or life transitions, therapy can offer space to gain insight and create meaningful change. I specialize in working with those who overthink, worry, people-please, struggle with boundaries, or put others’ needs first. Therapy can help you better understand these patterns, develop a stronger sense of self, and build practical coping skills. I offer an open, nonjudgmental space to explore these topics with compassion and a sense of humor.
It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pasadena
Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, or major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in their profiles.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, local appointment options may be more limited than in a larger metro area, and virtual care can expand your choices. Couples also need one therapist whose schedule, format, and approach work for both partners. As you compare Pasadena therapy options, look at appointment availability, whether a brief initial consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their work with couples. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their communication style and what sessions may look like before you book.
Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway makes it easier to compare couples counseling in Pasadena, review therapist profiles, enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
