Jordyn Block

Jordyn Block

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I've had the privilege of working with adults from many different backgrounds and stages of life. My experience includes supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, personality disorders, relationship concerns, life transitions, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and those requiring crisis intervention or suicide prevention services. Much of my clinical work has been in higher-acuity settings, giving me experience helping people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Those experiences have reinforced my belief that people are far more than a diagnosis or the most difficult chapter of their lives. Every person has a unique story, strengths, and experiences, and I believe therapy should reflect that. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood without judgment. Clients often describe me as genuine, approachable, and direct. I believe in having honest conversations while also offering compassion, support, and practical guidance. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Heather Hudson

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.

I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.

Therapist

Virtual • Pennsylvania


If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
