Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Brunswick, GA

A lot of people arrive at a first therapy appointment braced for something solemn, as though they are about to be studied. That is not what happens here. I'm John, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Valdosta State University, and I've spent more than twenty years doing this work across a variety of settings.

I work with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, grief and loss, and end-of-life concerns, as well as trauma, PTSD, substance use, sleep problems, and the strain of living with a chronic health condition. I also have a lot of experience with men's issues - especially men who have spent years keeping it all together and are tired of doing that alone.

What I bring is genuineness, humor, and real presence with whoever is in front of me. Not performed warmth, and not someone taking notes on you from behind a clipboard. Humor matters more in this work than people expect. Not to make light of what is hard, but because being able to laugh at something is often the first sign it has loosened its grip on you. Twenty years in, very little you bring will be unfamiliar to me, and none of it will make me think less of you.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! We are faced with many challenges in our daily life. It can be easy to let these challenges overpower you and leave you feeling hopeless. But it is within these challenges that we are able to discover ourselves. I have learned over the years that life is full of rewards; however, the most profound thing I have learned is that rewards do not exist without challenges and failures. The more we are able to reshape the way we view these challenges, the more successful we can be. I would love to help guide you through this process to get YOU back to your awesome YOU!
