Jordan Kidwell, MSW, LSW
Jordan is licensed as a MSW, LSW through the State of Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Therapist Board. She has her Master's from The Ohio State University and we are lucky to have her, read a bit about her below.
I’m committed to providing a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where others can share their stories, heal wounds, and enhance their connection to themselves and others across various stages of life. Whether you are seeking to work through personal struggles, improve relationships, or find a deeper connection to yourself, I encourage you to embrace the process and aim to support you on your journey to healing and growth.
Using elements informed by CBT, DBT, IFS, and mindfulness, my approach is holistic, client-centered, and rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for transformation.
Inspired by experiencing the transformative power of therapy myself, I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help adolescents, adults, and families navigate challenges, heal from past experiences, and discover their inner strength.
What people say...
"Great 1st Time Experience"
This is my first experience with therapy, my daughter's second. It has been an amazing experience so far. I look forward to going. Dee sets the tone very well and creates a comfortable space in which to communicate. I appreciate it.
"He made me feel safe"
I was very apprehensive about seeking help, particularly the required sharing that it would take. However, I was open to trying as I knew that professional insight would be of great value to me. I'm glad that I did, and that I found Ernie Dolling. He made me feel safe and comfortable in opening up. Subsequently, I have learned a great deal about myself and what is truly important. I am now in a much better place.
"Kind and Understanding"
Ernie is very kind and caring! He understood my issues, and really helped me in making some important decisions in my life. He was very encouraging, and really helped me.
