My treatment methods

EMDR

Have you found counseling to be unsuccessful in the past? EMDR may be a more effective alternative treatment intervention. EMDR can be used to reduce negative thoughts and feelings associated with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, addiction, OCD, Eating Disorders, fears and phobias, depression, and grief.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an intervention that challenges the client to identify the correlation between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Identifying these connections can help clients figure out their patterns, motivations, and strategies for change. CBT is the basis for a variety of therapy interventions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely. As an off shoot of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT works with clients to find a "middle ground" and challenge "black or white" thinking. DBT is considered the "gold standard" in treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). It is highly effective in treating a variety of mental health issues as well.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.

John is very reassuring but skilled in the EMDR process. I was not sure how it would be to do EMDR remotely, but it has been very successful thus far.

John has been extremely empowering and open-minded towards everything that I talk to him about. I find solace in communicating with him about everything I have been going through in life and it has helped me to make very good decisions going forward. He's the best.
