Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm John!

Welcome to my virtual office. I am currently offering TeleHealth sessions. I am an LCSW, licensed psychotherapist with 20 years of experience, and 25 years of social services/ministries outreach, providing individual and family therapy by utilizing a strengths-based, collaborative, holistic approach, allowing me to gain a clearer sense of my client's mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs, and finding viable and alternative solutions to reach a more balanced and optimal level of coping/functioning. I endeavor to conduct psychotherapy with individuals who are challenged with a crisis, substance abuse/addictions, dual diagnosis, and related codependency issues; relationships, depression, grief and loss, PTSD and anxiety-related issues; adjustment/transitional, and career/vocational. I utilize a holistic approach for crisis counseling, as well as evidenced-based cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing, which facilitates my clients' ability to cope/function better with negative and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. I firmly believe in providing a collaborative and supportive environment to maximize the therapeutic experience and identify what strengths and resources clients have to create meaningful change in their lives. For those who desire a Christian, Biblical approach, I also offer a faith-based perspective combined with psychological/systems theory I received my master's degree, Magna cum laude from Florida International University, and my B. A psychology/pastoral/Biblical counseling degree, Summa Cumlaude from Southeastern College. I am a member of Phi Alpha and Alpha Chi honors societies, respectively.
