Jordan Paterson

Jordan joins The Cabin with more than a decade of experience working as a Registered Addiction Specialist in New Zealand. He completed a degree in Drug and Alcohol Studies in 2008 and a diploma in Health Psychology in 2005. Jordan has worked extensively with individuals, adolescents, and families in various treatment settings. Jordan grew up the child of an alcoholic father who eventually died of the illness. This made Jordan acutely aware of the power of addiction and the destruction it can cause. In spite of this, he remains positive and focused on helping his clients see there is hope in recovery. Jordan seeks to understand each client’s unique experiences while helping them to see that they are not alone. His approach combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness, tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, leading to many successful long-term recoveries.
