Individual Counseling Services
Personalized Support for Your Mental Health
I’m Terry Jordan, LCSW, and I’ve spent the past two decades helping people untangle worry, sadness, trauma, and the big life changes that sneak up on all of us. Sometimes that work happens in my Portland, Maine office, sometimes over a secure video link with a client in Tampa, Florida—but the heart of it is always the same: two people talking honestly, one human to another.
What is Individual Counseling Services?
Individual counseling Services is a one-on-one therapy process where you work directly with a licensed therapist to address your mental health concerns. This personalized approach allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe and confidential environment. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or other challenges, individual counseling offers a focused space for healing and growth.
