Turn the past into momentum
Trauma-informed virtual counseling for Arizona residents

Golden Arrow Counseling Owner

Jourdan Derden, LPC

Finding the right therapist can be exhausting. This one is too hard. That one is too soft. It sounds like something out of Goldilocks and the Three Bears doesn’t it? You’re likely browsing this website because your past has been painful. Maybe you’re feeling stuck, unable to move forward. Maybe it feels like your emotions are more in control of you than you are of them. Or maybe you fluctuate between feeling disconnected and shut down to feeling completely on edge. If any of this sounds familiar, then you and I might be the right fit!

As a licensed counselor with experience in community mental health and crisis settings, I’m deeply committed to helping you heal from traumatic experiences. I use trauma-informed interventions like EMDR and DBT to support your recovery, with a particular passion for treating PTSD and Complex Trauma (CPTSD).

I don't want to waste your time, and I know that healing is tough. It takes courage, accountability, and acceptance. If you believe that we could be the right fit, then please allow me to walk this healing path with you. Together, we can achieve the goals you've set for yourself to create lasting change.

What I offer:

I offer trauma-informed virtual counseling for individual adults. Available evenings. All sessions are conducted using a secure, HIPAA compliant telehealth platform. 

What I help with:

  • Relational and attachment wounds
  • Sexual, physical, emotional abuse
  • Medical trauma and distress
  • Dissociation
  • Depression, anxiety, and grief
  • Phase of life transitions

Types of Therapy I use

EMDR Therapy

EMDR is an evidenced based treatment which uses bilateral stimulation (BLS) - eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones - to accelerate the brain's capacity to process and heal a troubling memory.

DBT Skills

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment that balances two opposing ideas: Validation/Acceptance and Change.

Parts Work

Therapeutic Parts Work is an approach based on the premise that the human psyche is composed of various sub-personalities or 'parts' with unique perspectives.
