Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Atwood, KS


Hello! My name is Jason Porter. I work with adults, and teens and couples who are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, or just some general life struggles. I know from experience that life can be difficult, and sometimes getting some help can make all the difference. I love to listen and help others live the life they want to live. I believe this is my purpose and feel blessed to be able to help. I started my mental health career working at a community mental health center for several years. I then moved on to School counseling, and now I am working in private practice.
