About John
Hello! I am so glad to meet you and have this chance to introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in the field. I received my professional training at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. I have been a therapist for 15 years. I am also a husband, a dad of three adult kids, two dogs and a cat. My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, substance misuse and men’s issues. I also offer leadership coaching and development. I use evidence based approaches that lead to personal growth. I approach therapy with a focus on individual needs, particularly for adults seeking understanding and meaningful connection. I create a supportive environment where you can explore difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop healthier coping strategies. I find that a little humor can be helpful at times and using metaphors and pictures helps build a clearer understanding of how to solve problems. I am open minded, prioritizing your unique journey and personal growth. My goal is to help you get stronger, understand underlying patterns, and create positive change in your life. You have taken a very important step by reaching out. I'm committed to walking alongside you and I look forward to meeting you. Read more Show less
