Jourdan Travers
⚠ I work psychodynamically with individuals and couples, focusing on the attachment patterns beneath recurring struggles. Because fit matters in this kind of depth work, I start with a 30-minute consultation ($50) to talk through what’s bringing you in and decide together whether we’re the right match. Reach out to schedule.
About Jourdan
Jourdan works from a psychodynamic and attachment-based framework — meaning therapy with her isn’t just about managing symptoms. It’s about understanding where they come from, and building something more lasting in their place. Her approach is warm, direct, and grounded in what the research actually says about how people change.
She holds an MSW from the University of Maryland and a B.A. in Psychology from California State University Northridge, and has trained and practiced across respected clinical settings including Promises Treatment Center, Malibu Vista, and the Lindner Center of Hope.
Her clinical insight has been featured in publications and outlets including The New York Times, Good Morning America, BBC, and the Today Show, to name a few.
