Join us for an inspiring conversation with Sarah Jordan of Soul Haven Counseling, and discover her journey from grad school to co-founding a practice that specializes in trauma care for children, teens, and adults. Sarah delves into the importance of holistic support that addresses socio-emotional, intellectual, and academic development, and emphasizes the critical role of collaboration with schools and community stakeholders to offer truly comprehensive care.
