Description
Hi, I'm Jordan Beckum, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, a licensed therapist in Georgia and South Carolina offering virtual therapy for Black women, teens, and couples, with roots in the Atlanta and Decatur area. As the co-founder of Mind Over Matter Wellness & Consulting and someone who has spent more than a decade in the wellness space, I've learned that what brings me back to this work every day is watching women reconnect with themselves, trust their inner voice again, and begin building a life that feels aligned and sustainable instead of one they're constantly pushing through.
If you're a Black woman who is tired of always being the strong one, who carries anxiety quietly while holding everything together, or who keeps noticing the same patterns showing up in your relationships no matter how much you've grown, you are not alone and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. Much of my work focuses on anxiety, generational trauma, attachment styles, and self-esteem, because so many of us are carrying lessons, wounds, and expectations that were handed down long before we had a say in them, and understanding where those patterns come from is often the first step toward choosing something different.
In our sessions, I bring together mindfulness, trauma-informed care, CBT, narrative therapy, solution-focused strategies, and somatic awareness so that we can explore your emotions and experiences with care, gently name the patterns shaping your thoughts and choices, strengthen your boundaries, and reconnect you with your intuition and emotional needs. Clients often describe our work together as grounding and affirming, a space where they can finally slow down, feel truly seen, and take an active role in their own healing.
In my work with couples, I help partners slow down the cycles that keep them stuck, whether that looks like the same argument on repeat, growing distance, broken trust, or simply feeling like you've lost your way back to each other. Because so much of how we love is shaped by our attachment styles and the relationships we grew up around, we'll spend time understanding what each of you brings into the partnership so you can communicate more honestly, navigate conflict with more care, rebuild trust and intimacy, and move through life transitions as a team rather than as opponents. I welcome couples of all backgrounds and relationship structures, and I am proudly poly and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) affirming, so whether you're exploring opening your relationship, navigating multiple partnerships, or working through the unique communication and boundary needs that come with consensual non-monogamy, you'll find a space here that meets you without judgment.
I support teens, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, identity exploration, relationship concerns, and major life transitions, and I am deeply committed to creating culturally affirming therapy for Black and Brown individuals where your culture, identity, and lived experience are honored rather than explained away. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and poly/ENM affirming, and conversations about race, sexuality, spirituality, relationships, and identity are always welcome here.
When I'm not in session, you can usually find me baking, running races mostly for the photos, building eclectic playlists, practicing yoga, reading, or spending time with my husband, family, and friends. I'm also a writer and the author of Where I Have Been, available on Amazon.
I'm currently accepting new individual and couples clients for online therapy in Georgia and South Carolina, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you as you move through your healing journey. Reach out to schedule a consultation and let's see if we're a good fit.
