Therapy Locations & Therapy FAQs

Some insurance plans are accepted. Contact to see if your plan is accepted.

We offer Superbills for plans we do not work with, which may allow you to seek reimbursement from your health insurance company, if you have Out of Network (OON) benefits.

If you want to use Out of Network Benefits, please call your insurance company and ask the following questions (make sure get a confirmation number for your call too):

Ask:

• Is out-of-network coverage for outpatient behavioral health covered?
• How much will it cost me? Do I have a deductible I have to meet? How far until I meet that deductible?
• How much will I be reimbursed for the first session, code 90791?
• What about code 90837, 60 min sessions?
• Be sure to ask if you need to get your primary care physician to write a referral or if the insurance carrier has to give you authorization.
• For telehealth services, ask if the virtual sessions are covered and be sure to ask what “add-on” codes we will need to put on your Superbill for virtual care to make sure you are reimbursed.

All therapy sessions and inquiries for therapy are booked directly through this website. We do not reply to any other forms of inquiry.

Nodelman Counseling & Psychotherapy takes confidentiality very seriously and confidentiality is largely governed by Federal and state laws and the therapist’s Code of Ethics. Jordan is obligated, by law, to protect human life and provide certain disclosures for those using insurance or seeking a Superbill. For client’s seeking total discretion, you may want to consider opting out of insurance and privately paying for therapy.

It depends. While some clients enter therapy knowing exactly what they want to accomplish, others present with needs that can be complex and require more time. If a therapist quotes you exactly how many sessions you will need when you reach out, please be wary and get other opinions from other therapists. The brain and body are highly complex and an initial evaluation and understanding of the therapy modality, frequency of sessions and your diagnosis will all go into crafting a best estimate.

The first session is commonly referred to as an intake and diagnostic assessment session. Prior to the session you will have been provided (and filled out) an intake form, plus various screening tools. We will review this information together and talk about the issues or problems you face that bring us together. The main goal of this session is for me to be able to conceptualize how to best assist you so that you can, in turn, better function and resolve your presenting reasons for seeking out therapy. This session is a chance for me to get to know you, and for you to understand how we will work together moving forward. Any questions you have will be addressed, as well.

Yes, if you live in the Fort Lauderdale or Tri-County/SOFLO area.

The office is located in a safe and secure location in Wilton Manors, FL (the Island City). If you are located outside the area, virtual services are available. We utilized a secure, HIPAA compliant software system for virtual sessions.

If you are unable to meet in-person, we also offer 100% virtual services.

The short answers are: Yes and Yes.

As an EMDRIA, EMDR-Certified Psychotherapist, Jordan has conducted thousands of online / virtual EMDR sessions. He is inventive and has worked with clients from all backgrounds, with all levels of technical ability, and even clients with physical limitations that don’t allow for eye movements or even self-hand tapping (bi-lateral stimulation). He uses a virtual tele-therapy platform that has the eye movement software integrated into the system that will work on a computer, tablet or even smart phone (flip phones will not work).

If eye movements won’t work and hand tapping is unavailable, we can utilize drawing, writing, sound and more. Jordan uses EMDR as an art-form and meets you where you are at. He takes all effort to make it work remotely.

If all options are exhausted or you are not finding remote EMDR useful, he will refer you to a local EMDR clinician or recommend meeting in his office.

It all depends. This will be discussed at the intake session. The most important part of EMDR is keeping a client in their “window of tolerance” (meaning not so activated they go into fight or flight or so under-activated they go into shut down). Medications have a different impact on everyone and some push people out of their window of tolerance, while others may not have the same reaction. Part of the intake process is discussing currently prescribed medications.

Jordan’s focus is on psychotherapy; he does not prescribe medication. However, with your permission, Jordan is willing to partner with your prescriber, or can make a referral to one of many psychiatrists he works with in Florida, Virginia or Washington DC.

Jordan does not actively seek client reviews due to confidentiality.

The Code of Ethics for most counseling-related professions strictly forbids actively seeking reviews. The NASW Code of Ethics (the ethics Jordan Nodelman, LCSW, LICSW follows) states, “4.07 Solicitations (b) Social workers should not engage in solicitation of testimonial endorsements (including solicitation of consent to use a client’s prior statement as a testimonial endorsement) from current clients or from other people.”

The majority of Jordan’s clients come from past client or professional referrals and he considers those referrals as the highest compliment of the service he provides. Because therapy is a particularly personal choice, other client experience is no gauge as to what your experience will be like. Rest assured, your wellbeing is Jordan’s #1 priority.

LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In Washington, DC, the acronym LICSW, for Lic. Independent Clinical Social Worker is utilized instead. Like other mental health practitioners, LCSWs and LICSWs are licensed to provide psychotherapy independently, in their state of license. One of the main benefits of seeing a LCSW or LICSW is that we are trained to view individuals as more than they’re presenting diagnosis and concerns. We are trained to look at clients as part of a larger system (environment, family, culture, socioeconomic, workplace, etc…) and approach client work through that lens; adding psychotherapeutic approaches to help clients achieve their goals. The benefit to clients is that LCSW’s are resourced to collaborate with clients beyond their immediate concerns, often thinking outside the box for ways to connect clients to resources that will work in conjunction with the therapeutic process. Additionally, LCSW’s are part of a storied history, dating back to the 19th century. This history is deep in our roots and present in the work we do with clients. You can rest assured that engaging in psychotherapy or counseling with a LCSW will mean you are engaging with a practitioner who prioritizes your well-being above all else, is a strategic thinker, and will have the ability to look beyond your presenting symptoms, alleviating your concerns and assisting you in achieving your goals.
