Yes. Many of Jordan’s clients are mid-career adults and parents. What matters most in therapy is a strong working relationship and a clear plan. You can book a session directly, or start with a free 15-minute consult if you’d like to check the fit first.

Yes, Monday to Wednesday.

Usually, yes: small, practical things to try between sessions, always agreed together.

Yes. Jordan works with intrusive thoughts, checking, counting, reassurance-seeking and other rituals. Her structured, practical style fits this work: together you’ll understand the cycle and practise breaking it, step by step.

A Registered Provisional Psychologist holds a graduate degree and is registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP). “Provisional” is a structured regulatory stage, not a sign of limited skill. Provisional psychologists practise under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist and are held to the same ethical and professional standards as fully registered psychologists.

They provide the same evidence-based therapy, including CBT, DBT and trauma-informed care. You can confirm anyone’s registration on the CAP public directory.

Many Alberta benefit plans include psychological services, though the details vary by employer, provider and policy. Some plans cover both Registered Psychologists and Registered Provisional Psychologists, while others need a specific designation or referral. It’s worth checking your plan or calling your provider to ask.

You’ll receive a detailed receipt after each session to submit for reimbursement. If you have questions, reach out to Core Psychology before booking and we’re happy to help. See our fees page for more.

It depends on the nature of your anxiety, whether it’s tied to specific situations or deeper patterns, your goals and the approach you use. Focused approaches like CBT often bring meaningful change within 8 to 16 sessions. Other people benefit from longer-term work, especially when anxiety is connected to past experiences, identity or relationships.

In your first session, you’ll talk through realistic expectations together, and the plan will adjust as you go.

CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It’s structured, practical and especially helpful for anxiety, depression and stress. DBT was developed for people who feel emotions very intensely, and builds skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and relationships.

Jordan draws from both, and you don’t need to know which one you need before you come in. Figuring that out is part of what the first few sessions are for.

Research consistently shows that therapy by secure video works as well as in-person sessions for many concerns, including anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship issues. Jordan offers both, in person in Marda Loop or online anywhere in Alberta, and you can choose when you book. Learn more about online counselling at Core.

Jordan works Monday to Wednesday, with daytime and evening appointments. If you need a weekend time, our team can match you with another Core Psychology clinician who fits your schedule.
