Hello! My name is John Craig. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I aim to offer you a safe and secure setting with the resources that can help you work through and overcome mental health problems. While I specialize in PTSD and Trauma, I also work with adults helping them overcome depression, anxiety, panic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders and other psychological problems that interfere with living a happier and more fulfilling life. My counseling approach is warm, nonjudgmental, client-centered and empathetic. I employ a range of science-based treatment methods. If you feel you are ready for a change, please contact me for an initial consultation to help determine if we are a good fit and to establish an initial therapy session. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I John Craig, LCSW
My initial session is a time for us to get to know each other better and for you to feel more comfortable with me and the therapeutic process.
While the mainstay of my therapy involves a person-centered, Rogerian approach using effective techniques, such as Motivational Interviewing, my biggest strength is building rapport and trust and to offer resources that have a foundation proven to be effective and efficient in working with a wide variety of mental health problems. I have special training and skills in dealing with trauma victims and a method of psychotherapy called Cognitive Processing Therapy.
I specialize in trauma intervention and PTSD using CBT as well as Cognitive Processing and other treatment modalities with evidence-based treatment interventions to overcome and manage the consequences of trauma. I am also experienced in providing therapy for individuals with anxiety and depression.
I offer Grief Counseling to help clients recover from the death of a family member or spouse and manage their grief successfully through processing the death and eventually coming to an acceptance of the death.
