John has been a great asset in my journey of self introspection and anger issue improvement. He listens and hears all I say and offers guidance and reassurance just when Needed. This journey is not over, but I am in a much better place with some tools to deal with life’s challenges.

More about John

  • 15 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

My journey to help others lead their best lives started over 15 years ago. I have worked to help children, youth, and adults offering them a range of therapy services to guide them through life’s challenges and most trying times. Life can get difficult, and sometimes a little help from a professional Psychotherapist can make things better. I care about your well-being and provide you all the tools you need in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most traumatic circumstances.

I use a blend of brain and body based therapies. My primary modality is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy), based on the Adaptive Information Processing model. Neuroscience and studies on Neuroplasticity are bearing out that the mind can heal itself. Old pathways and negative memories can be updated with new adaptive information. EMDR uses eye movements and other forms of physical tapping and Bi-Lateral stimulation to help the brain process old stuck memories and trauma. Not just for Big Trauma's like car accidents, it can help with many issues from the past, present and perceived future concerns including PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety and more specific issues such as religious abuse, shame, guilt and pain management.

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

John is a great listener and calming presence. I have been hesitant to get help for years and I'm so glad I finally did. He's helpful, understands my concerns and is patient in his guidance of helping me through. I'm grateful to not only him but better help.

I have never had a counselor before who just seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know me. I expect he has an innate curiosity about people about people and an affection and empathy for all types of issues no matter how small. The value of this type of connection, especially during this pandemic time, is priceless. Muchas gracias counselor Daughtrey.
