Jordan Harrison, Psy.D.

Jordan Harrison is a fully licensed clinical psychologist. He earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH and in 2015 completed his internship at Counseling and Psychological Services at Oregon State University. Prior to becoming an affiliate with Ann Arbor Center for the Family, Dr. Harrison spent five years serving as a staff psychologist at the Thomas E. Cook Counseling Center at Virginia Tech.

His clinical practice includes working with adolescents, adults, and couples. He has a specific interest in working with high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. Dr. Harrison utilizes an interpersonal and experiential approach that integrates brief psychodynamic, emotion focused, and coherence therapies for both individuals and couples. His clinical work includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress management, identity exploration, adjustment to life transitions, managing ADHD, managing chronic illness, relationship distress, and couples’ issues.

Dr. Harrison is openly gay and has extensive experience working with clients who identify as LGBTQ+, are questioning their sexual or gender identity, or are navigating intersecting identities. He has specific experience working with trans*, transgender, and non-binary adolescents and adults who are navigating the transition process. He has experience working with LGBTQ+ couples and couples exploring non-monogamy. He has previously run support groups for LGBTQ+ college students and has advocated to remove barriers to trans-affirmative healthcare on college campuses. While at Virginia Tech, he worked in university governance, serving as co-chair of the LGBTQ+ Faculty and Staff Caucus for three years.

Dr. Harrison strongly believes that coming to therapy is a radical act of self-acceptance and strives to work collaboratively with clients to meet their goals. He approaches individuals and couples with an empathic and non-pathologizing framework. Figural in his work is a multicultural lens – unpacking how systems of power and oppression disproportionately affect the well-being of historically underserved and marginalized clients. He welcomes all clients, inclusive of race, ethnicity, color, national origin, ability/disability, sex, gender identity/expression, sexual/romantic orientation, religious background, or documentation status.

Dr. Harrison is in network with BCBS traditional and BCBS PPO.
