Jordan Gregory, D-TLLP

Practicing in Cascade

Like many of the individuals with whom I work, I grew up as curious, aware, and sensitive human. From a young age, I was fascinated with the stories of others and found myself taking in conversations, news, and books to fill my thirst for understanding.  

In many ways, reading was a passion that offered a sanctuary for my mind. Those hours spent in books allowed my mind to be transported. Living in central Kentucky, I sought out quiet and soft places to read, like trees, forested places, and my room.  

But as an emotionally attuned young person taking in the sometimes dark realities of the world, I would find myself worried and anxious at times. I grappled with concerns that were outside of my control. I questioned how certain things could happen, and why. 

In looking back, I realize that school was a place where I felt I could find more solid footing and security. Also like many of my clients, I found school to be where I began to center my self-worth.   

While I was fortunate to be surrounded by caring adults in my life, I wasn’t offered the opportunity to work with a therapist as a young person. When I was later able to begin doing the important work of therapy, I discovered just how powerful it could be.  

Over time and with work, I was able to develop a sense of meaning and purpose that helped give me grounding. In a world where there can be so much pain and suffering, I knew that I wanted my life to be about directly helping others. My interest in psychology and in being a therapist was a natural progression. My natural sense of curiosity, desire to help others, and interest in the stories, led me to where I am today.  

Through my undergraduate and graduate studies, I learned a lot about human behavior. Through my clinical experience and in my own journey, I learned a lot about healing. I am so grateful to serve others through this work every day.
