Therapist

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.

Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.
