“John became a lifeline for my husband and I, but more importantly, a phenomenal therapist for our son. John is highly skilled, experienced and more than good at what he does. Having worked for many years as a Probation Officer, I can say with certainty that good therapists are hard to find, but critical in the process of change.
John gently, but firmly, guides young people by helping them create a constructive reality. He mentors them as they do the work and insists action driven results, not words. As a therapist, he’s wise and well versed in the most manipulative of personalities; he can easily head off the nonsense before it starts. He relates to parents as easily as he does those in his charge. We appreciated John’s ability to “keep it real” with our son, his humor as well as insight, along with his compassion and empathy. ”

“The support and guidance that John has given our family has been limitless. Through honesty and trust our daughter has taken a journey with John that will forever change her life. John has a unique ability to connect with people and guide them to make healthy choices in their lives. He is committed to helping our daughter and family live a happy and healthy life. We are very lucky to have John guiding her in her journey.”

“John extensive experience is evidenced by his understanding of the complexities of the struggles of young adults, as well as the contributing family dynamics. John is skilled at identifying the obstacles preventing development, personal growth and maturity, as well as what is required to break old patterns and develop healthy coping skills and increasing self-esteem and self-efficacy.

He has a distinctive ability to create an incredible rapport with young adults. John’s fair but no-nonsense approach to holding young adults accountable and raising their awareness about their poor coping and communication skills allows them to begin to take responsibility for themselves. His extensive communication and guidance, coupled with invaluable and insightful feedback and recommendations, have re-routed us to the path to support my son’s continued success.”

“John is gifted therapist who has had an enormous impact on our family. Our young adult son was entangled in web of unrealistic expectations, poor decision-making, and substance abuse. John was quickly able to establish a trusting relationship with him and immediately understood the unique issues arising from his adoption as a young boy. He helped our son, and us, understand the internal conflicts leading to his destructive behaviors. Since working with John he has maintained sobriety, become more self-reliant, and continued his education. John listened carefully and provided a powerful mixture of direct, honest communication infused with compassion. He was exactly what we needed.”
