JORDAN PENNER · MA, RCC
Welcome and Thank You for Your Interest in My Services
Hello, I’m Jordan. Choosing someone to talk to about the difficult parts of your life is personal. You may know what you want help with, or you may have an idea that something needs to change. Wherever you are starting, you are welcome to bring what is on your mind, even if it is hard to put into words.
For over two decades, I have worked as a Registered Clinical Counsellor in the Langley and Surrey area, helping individuals, couples and families through many different circumstances and stages of life. That experience has taught me the value of honest conversations and taking the time to understand someone. I will listen carefully, speak plainly and work with you to find a way forward that makes sense for your life.
Experience and Background
I have spent many years working full-time in private practice, helping individuals, couples and families make sense of difficult experiences and find a way forward. This work has deepened my understanding of the challenges people face and the importance of thoughtful, consistent care.
My background also includes a decade with Fraser Health, where I worked alongside other mental health professionals to assess complex concerns and help people find appropriate care. I have worked in residential addiction treatment and supported children and families in community settings. These experiences inform the perspective I bring to counselling today.
I hold a master’s degree from Trinity Western University and am registered with the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors. My additional training includes Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), EMDR, trauma-informed practices, PTSD, OCD, and high-conflict divorce and co-parenting.
Langley has been home throughout my adult life, and it is where my wife and I are raising our two children. I care about this community and the people I serve here.
How We Work Together
My approach is practical. I draw on established research and therapeutic approaches, making them understandable and useful in your everyday life. The way we work will depend on your needs, your goals and what you find helpful.
Together, we focus on what is happening, what you would like to improve and what will help you make progress. That might mean finding ways to manage difficult emotions, changing patterns that keep you stuck or building healthier relationships. We can consider different perspectives, work through difficult decisions and develop strategies you can use outside our sessions.
I want the time we spend together to matter. We will talk about what is helping and adjust our approach as we learn more about what works for you.
Individual Counselling
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, relationship difficulties and challenging life transitions. You may have a particular concern you want to address, or you may feel dissatisfied or overwhelmed without knowing exactly why.
Our conversations create space to understand what you are experiencing and explore what could change. We can look at how your experiences, expectations and habits influence your life today, while identifying practical steps toward the life you want.
Couples and Family Counselling
Every relationship has different pressure points. We focus on the parts of your relationship that need attention while building on the strengths that already exist between you.
Our work may include expressing your needs more clearly, listening more fully, understanding recurring arguments or rebuilding emotional connection and trust. We can also explore how responsibilities, parenting, work, finances and extended family affect your relationship.
My work includes supporting people through separation, divorce and high-conflict co-parenting. Together, we can focus on clearer communication, thoughtful decisions and more constructive ways of managing differences.
