Some stories are liberating. Some are exhausting. All can be rewritten.
Andrew Jordan Thayer, PhD, LP
Hello! I am Jordan Thayer. My personal experience with depression in my teenage years, and working with patients of all ages, has taught me that everyone holds deep narratives about themselves, each other, and the world. While some narratives can be helpful, they can also restrict us and leave us with anxiety, depression, and trauma. For a decade, I have worked with hundreds of patients to challenge these narratives using evidence-based therapeutic practices, and have witnessed them shake off those narratives to begin discovering and creating who they aspire to be.

Therapy Services
Teen & Family
I specialize in helping teens & families overcome challenges in navigating growing up, school systems, questions about life, and creating nurturing, responsive family homes.
Emerging & Professional Adults
Since the onset of COVID19, I have started expanding my practice to focus on young adults and professionals in high-demanding career roles experiencing high stress, considering major life transitions, or questioning life’s deeper meanings.
Adventure & Nature Therapy
For both children & adults, I offer specialized services that merge evidence-based clinical therapy with adventure and nature-based settings as alternative settings to practice without requiring an office. Perfect for those that still want clinically-effective therapy but need flexibility in their schedule or practice setting.
I am proud to welcome teens & adults regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, relationship status and orientation (polyamorous friendly!) and other differences that make us human.
Interested in trauma therapy? I am certified in Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which can be used in nearly all these types of services and settings.
