I have worked in the treatment since i was 36 and have 35 years of experience. My early experience was in the drug and alcohol and relapse prevention field. During that time i attended the Gestalt Institute in Cleveland, Ohio where I took 4 years of intense training. This lead me to find that therapy is not a method for me to figure out the client but a means for the client to gain greater self-awareness in facing their own life aspirations and struggles. I place focus on clients’ somatic awareness, especially breath, so being more in their body so they can try on new physical and intellectual styles in facing their world. I have a lot of knowledge about what is called the 12 step process and have melded together spirituality and religion in my own life. Prior to being a counselor/ therapist i taught school, painted steel bridges and other structures, and was a machinist at a large steel company, that like the many in our area have since closed their shops.

My passion is working with children, teenagers, young adults, couples and families to process trauma and difficult experiences so they can experience growth and healing within themselves and their relationships. Through my work with individuals and family's I have learned the deep importance of understanding "what has happened" to people rather than viewing people through the lens of "what is wrong with people". Likewise, the importance of understanding one's family of origin and how this shapes our views of people and the world and impacts how we relate with people and navigate our world.

Hi! I'm a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania, and I've been practicing since 2020, specializing in OCD and anxiety-reated disorders. I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and empowerment. Through proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual. My treatment approach typically involves three phases: building insight and awareness around delineating between OCD-related intrusive thoughts and your own logical thought processes; developing skills to appropriately manage and dismiss intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges; and ultimately structuring effective, yet manageable, exposures to incrementally build distress tolerance and systematically desensitize to triggering experiences. While our work together will focus on addressing OCD and anxiety-related issues, I intend to utilize a holistic approach necessary in treating the whole person, which may include family work as well. My primary goal is to help clients realize happy, healthy, fulfilling lives by taking their freedom back from the binds of OCD and anxiety. I aim to work in a creative, collaborative environment while cultivating meaningful relationships with my clients. I find it extremely rewarding to help people who are struggling with OCD and anxiety, as progress is often consistent and evident. As they say – if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life!

Hello. My name is John. I bring with me over 27 years of doing therapy. In addition to clinical psychology, I have backgrounds and education in music education, philosophy, spirituality and religion. My background and life experience gives me an ability to seek a larger picture of situations in life and offer unique resolutions to things that may occur in the course of one's life. I am a strong believer in the individual's ability to address and resolves problems their own issues. It is my belief and practice to treat the person, not the symptom or problem. My approach is one of assisting you in identifying various aspects of what brings you to therapy, including but not limited to, the strengths and limitations you bring, your life situation, the context of your life and the issue, the portion others and your environment may be contributing to your situation and the impact all of these element have on what is going on in your life. An integral part of this process is assisting you in increasing and understanding and awareness of yourself. Often, we get so caught up in the day-to-day activities that it feels kind of like one is an automaton. Person growth involves having choices and there is no choice where there is no awareness. Raising a level of self-awareness increases your ability to have and make choices. Through exploration of all these factors and possibly more, we will work toward a resolution that works for you and one that allows you to live a fuller and happier life.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Pennsylvania rather than a city like Philadelphia?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Pennsylvania from Pittsburgh to Scranton! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Pennsylvania.

Will my therapist take Aetna?

Yes! If you use Aetna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Aetna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
