Jordan Dann is a trauma-informed somatic therapist, author, teacher, speaker, and New Yorker based in New York City. As a trained psychoanalyst, she makes cutting-edge therapy more accessible, communal, and colorful through her private practice, writing, teaching, and public education work.
Jordan bridges psychoanalysis, Gestalt therapy, and Somatic Experiencing to help individuals and couples restore vibrancy to their lives by reconnecting with the wisdom of their bodies and guiding them through the dance of rupture and repair. She authored 'Somatic Therapy for Healing Trauma' (Rockridge Press, 2022) and co-authored 'Experiential Therapies for Treating Trauma' (Routledge). She also serves as faculty at the Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York City, where she has taught since May 2022.
Jordan brings an unusual background as a trained performing artist, holding both a BFA in Acting and an MFA in Theatre Education with a focus in Linklater Voice Technique from Boston University. This embodied sensibility informs her clinical work, which integrates parts-based approaches, emotion regulation, somatic awareness, and relational healing. She maintains a private practice caseload and offers a relationship transformation course, The Art of Rupture and Repair.
On Substack, Jordan writes at the intersection of psychoanalysis, personal narrative, and culture. Her publication explores love, attachment, trauma, and the body through the lens of clinical depth, drawing on memoir, film, and media. It is written for people navigating intimacy and for therapists integrating somatic and attachment-based work into their practice.
