    successfully if students do not listen to each other. In order for them to grow as members of a learning community, I challenge the class to ask critical questions, engage in civil discourse, and aim to learn from each other.  I do not see learning as fixed or hierarchical, but rather as a process of growth that occurs on multiple levels. Additionally, by speaking to students about my own struggles with the writing experience, I guide them, helping them tackle their own difficulties with writing in a way

What I mean is this: it’s by engaging with practical, process-oriented habits, and learning techniques and formal gestures, that one becomes receptive enough to trust and catch the unexpected surprises that come along, and to allow mystery (call it the imagination if you like) to freely flourish. I believe in a workshop where risks of all kind are supported and strengthened.”

  • Associate Director of Clinical Operations / Director of Training / Counselor | Counseling Services | jfadden@plu.edu | 253-535-7206 | I am very excited to be back on the PLU campus!  I graduated from the PLU MFT program in 2012, and am looking forward to assisting the PLU community through our amazing counseling services. I have over 12 years of experience as a therapist, along with an extensive professional history within the social work and social justice field.  I have guided many people throughout the years, and feel it is my calling to be present for those who need support through this grand adventure called LIFE! My main goal is to help you cut through the minutiae of your own mind, implement tools that will help you take back the authority of your life and propel you forward on the path of your choosing.  I believe in creating “brave spaces” within the therapy room.  My style of therapy is a little different as I believe therapy does not have to be a long drawn out process, nor a deep dive, in order to make significant changes in your life.  Sometimes, you just need a place to breathe, focus and figure out your next steps.  I combine various therapy techniques, in order to challenge you, keep you focused and allow space for you to discover your authentic self.  Humor is also an important element of the process! If you are ready for deep and lasting change, then contact PLU Counseling Services and let’s get started! .
