Jaclyn Gordon

My name is Jaclyn Gordon. I was born in Frankfort, Maine, and was raised in the surrounding area. I have lived all across the country and abroad and found that there is no place quite like Maine. I am very happy to be home and growing roots! When not at The Ridge Maine, I enjoy reading, playing my guitar, watching my dog run and daydreaming by the ocean. Now that I’m home, many of my days are spent with family and the comfort that they provide.

I have experience working in a Residential Treatment Center with adults who suffer from addiction, trauma, and PTSD. I developed a passion for working with youth when I saw the needs that had not been met in childhood that directly impacted my client’s development and choices in adulthood. I desired to meet the problem at its source and be a part of the solution, which I found at The Ridge Maine. I love the program’s structure, the abundant compassion of the staff and watching young lives transformed! My favorite quote is from Dr. Seuss: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
