Hi everyone,

My name's Jordan and I am a Clinical Psychology Registrar at One Door Mental Health. 

I have completed undergraduate degrees in Psychology and completed a Master of Psychology (Clinical), having been trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and recently completed introductory training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I have experience working in private mental health facility and private practice, with an interest in working with presentations such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia-spectrum conditions, as well as working with those whom have co-occurring mental health and legal issues

Just interested @Daisydreamer as my brother in law was initially diagnosed with schirophrenia, b4 changing to bipolar some years later. And some of my dear friends here in the forum live with schitzophrenia. So I really want to develop a better understanding of it in order to better support those dealing with it.
