More about Jonathan
- 12 years' experience

- LMHC
I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jonathan is excellent I highly recommend him.
hes a cool guy loved to c him
I have only had bad experiences with male therapists so I was very anxious when I saw I was paired with a male therapist. There is an inherent power dynamic when entering a relationship with any healthcare provider. Johnathan was so great. He listened to me, treated me with respect, and we were able to cultivate a collaborative approach to my mental health needs. I would highly recommend Johnathan!!
He is easy to talk to, and it feels like he really listens and is empathetic towards me. He provides me with what I need in a therapist at this time in my life.
Jonathan is very compassionate and down to earth. He does a great balance of listening, asking good questions, and giving wise, kind input. He makes you feel very comfortable talking about private matters in a way that’s not invasive or condemning. Highly recommend.
Doing a excellent job which make me super happy
Jonathan is great at what he does. Though I haven't had any recent sessions (from being distracted with other things) I often reflect on what he's said whenever I feel like I need guidance. I am currently doing better than I have in the past 6 years or so thanks to that.
Jon does a great job at being thorough and understanding of issues.
Haven’t talked much but he’s respectful and answers quick
So helpful! I am very happy with my work with Jonathan.
Johnathan is an extremely capable and effective counsellor. My time with him was well spent and productive. BH is lucky to have him on their team.
