I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, with nine years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents and adults. My primary focus has been helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and low self-esteem. I aspire to empower my clients while also building a safe space for self-exploration and growth. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the healing journey and helping clients find freedom from distressing symptoms.
Are you feeling alone and stuck in a transitional period in your life and that your mind is filled with negative thoughts directed towards yourself creating conflict or distance in your relationships with others? You are feeling hopeless and are having low energy, like you are about to give up? While you may not know the tools to help you, you do know what has not been working for you. Together we can build your own toolbox for you to help embrace control in your life!
Therapy is a shared experience to explore past and present aspects of your life to help you grow and thrive, becoming the best version of yourself. I value building a safe meaningful connection to allow that work to be done.
Hi — I’m John, and my mission is to help you get out of your own way. I earned my Master’s from SUNY Albany’s School of Social Welfare and have spent over a decade working with adults, teens, and families from every background — from New York to Oregon and back again. Together, we’ll challenge the worries, thoughts, and beliefs that hold you back — so you can clear a path toward the life you actually want.
I hold a Master’s in Music Therapy from NYU, am a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT). I am also certified in DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning), integrating somatic and attachment work for deeper trauma resolution. My trauma imformed approach was profoundly shaped by a decade of work in foster care and with children on the autism spectrum, as well as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholarship in Kolkata, India.
In my private practice, I offer individual psychotherapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), having facilitated over 400 KAP sessions—an effort recognized with Journey Clinical’s Trailblazer Award. Above all, my focus remains on helping clients gain personal clarity, self-understanding, and sustainable growth.
Hi, I’m James. I’ve worked as a psychotherapist developing positive client relationships since 2005.
Helping you reduce anxiety levels with breathwork and improve physical health with mindfulness and meditation techniques.
I’ve learned cognitive-behavioral treatments to assist you with overcoming addiction and anger management. And (how to) provide in-depth talk and mental health therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
At Rusk Therapy, each relationship between therapist and patient is individual and implements a variety of treatments. Once a course of action is agreed upon, we’ll approach therapy by incorporating the whole mind-body approach.
That includes the relationship between mental, emotional, and physical health, along with incorporating nutrition, supplements, and exercise. Working together, you can create an improved lifestyle that supports your best life.
The process of a successful therapeutic relationship depends on your effort and our compatibility, along with clear boundaries and feeling safe.
I believe it’s essential to find the right therapist, and doing this takes a phone call, a first session, or a few sessions. I welcome you to schedule a complimentary call to explore a possible therapeutic relationship.
