Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

My name is John Michael Jennings and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I'm passionate about creating a supportive space for clients to process what they're feeling and what they've been through. I believe that therapy is about helping people figure out how to live a life that's most authentic to who they are. I specialize in working with clients who are navigating depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, difficult family dynamics, complex trauma, and questions about gender identity and/or sexuality.

Whatever the reason you are here...know that I am here to help you through it. I use a supportive, direct, empathetic and nonjudgmental approach in therapy. I have 16 years experience and primarily use CBT and EMDR approaches. I work hard to ensure you feel comfortable and safe and will help you meet your goals. Looking forward to meeting you!

Mental health should not be a taboo subject or a rushed intervention. Each person responds differently to life events. There should be no shame or stigma in sharing feelings and seeking help.

I am here to help you find your balance and the correct care plan o regain yourself and succeed in life. I strive to offer excellent and individualized care—including medications and therapy—because each client is a unique individual who deserves understanding and is treated with dignity and respect.
