Gordon is a Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. Gordon has had extensive experience in working with individuals and families during times of stress and transition. Gordon uses a systemic approach that focuses on changing interaction patterns that tend to prevent people from living successful and happy lives. Gordon is also an ordained minister in the Episcopal Church (Vocational Deacon). "As I tell the people I work with; I am obviously connected with the Church and sometimes wear a 'funny collar'. Nonetheless, I make it a point to NOT push any sort of religious agenda, unless those are issues that the client(s) want to address in therapy; one's spiritual life is a very personal thing. I do believe, however, that a person's spiritual life can be a path for healing; I also believe there are many different paths for seeking a spiritual life..." |
