Getting to know Eva Gordon
Ms. Eva Gordon is a skilled psychotherapist. She sees patients virtually through ReachLink.

What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me as your psychotherapist, I want to support you with accountability and empathy. Many people I have worked with feel misunderstood and as though no one understands how they feel. Active listening is needed to understand where a client is and where they want to go. It's hard to heal from past and present pains if no one is there to listen. Most of all, it's hard to heal if we suppress the pain ourselves. This is quite a challenge for many people. As your therapist, I want to be a partner in helping you heal by reconnecting you to yourself so you can regain control of your life.
I find that conversations with active listening and empathy allow people to express themselves, especially those who have been silenced or misunderstood by family, friends, and the world. As a Black woman of American and Caribbean descent, I especially welcome Black professional women to have therapy sessions as an act of self-love. Make psychotherapy a part of your wellness routine.
As a therapist, I begin with understanding what's hurting you by examining your main stressors and concerns. Psychodynamic therapy is used to explore past and present factors that have influenced your life journey. Cognitive-behavioral therapy explores thinking patterns that create current unhealthy behaviors and helps learn healthy coping skills.
As your partner in healing, let's unpack all of the things weighing you down. Learn to manage your emotions to improve your mental health. Learn your values and beliefs and explore passions to renew your spirit. The plan is to set 1-2 new goals to grow and improve your life. I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
