Jordan Barnes, BSW, RSW
(he/him)
Jordan is a Registered Social Worker with a Bachelor of Social Work and is currently pursuing his Master’s degree. He brings a strong foundation in supporting neurodiverse individuals and approaches counselling through a disability-informed, strengths-based lens. His practice is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, empowering clients to lead the way in their own growth and self-discovery.
Jordan works with both adults and youth, offering support that ranges from practical problem solving to exploring new ways of thinking and being. When working with young people, he recognizes that traditional talk therapy may not always be effective. He integrates creative, right-brain activities, worksheets, and games to help build emotional regulation, resilience, and essential life skills—ensuring each session is engaging and developmentally appropriate.
