Jon is my inaugural therapist, and I consider myself exceptionally fortunate to have encountered an individual of his caliber in the field. Throughout our therapeutic journey, he skillfully addressed areas that I had not initially recognized as requiring attention. In the relatively brief span of three months, I have undergone a profound personal transformation, achieving the very self that I aspired to become when I first sought therapy. I have extended my complete trust to Jon, and he has consistently exceeded my expectations. His interactions have transcended the mere fulfillment of professional duties, manifesting as a sincere and genuine commitment to my well-being.

Jon is incredibly effective in managing sessions and creating a safe space. He is extremely professional and dedicated to helping others, demonstrates such care and supports every individual to meet their needs. I am forever grateful for having worked with Jon. It is so rare to find such an expert in their field with his level of compassion; he had a huge impact on my life and I will never forget the lessons I’ve learned from our time together. This was the first time I really enjoyed this form of therapy and that I saw measurable results. I think finding the right voice and connection is key and I was very lucky to have found that with Jon. This has been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life; I will always be appreciative. It was a joy to work with Jon and I would urge anyone seeking support in challenges with mental health to reach out.

Among all the therapists I’ve worked with in the past, Jon has so far been the most effective and helpful. His way of listening and asking questions guided me to look into my past experiences without fear and come out with fresh perspectives. I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts and emotions in the sessions, and along the process, Jon was always professional, caring and attentive. Most importantly, there has been much improvement in my depression symptoms over the time period I did therapy with Jon. I’d recommend him to a friend on any day.

I started seeing Jon during a particularly dark time in my life when I was finding it extremely difficult to process the inundated changes in life (especially due to the COVID outbreak). The sessions with him were invaluable in helping me come to terms with my present situation. In addition I also appreciated the insight he provided and the fact that he gave me workable solutions to problems I presented. The mental health awareness and tools I have gained from my time with him are what I hope to continue to use going forward. Jon always made me feel heard and was extremely reassuring and calm. I am indebted to him for the way he helped me feel empowered with regards to my mental health.

Jon is the first male therapist I have talked with. I was slightly concerned about not being able to confide in a male therapist at the beginning but thankfully, Jon successfully gained my trust and I felt safe to be as vulnerable as whom I am deep down inside, in front of him. He achieved this by actively listening, understanding my language system, and engaging with me from a neutral yet, caring, place.

Jon helped to provide some new perspectives on my own theory of humanity, relationships and life pursuits, and shed light on the inconsistencies in my own theory (which caused my negative feelings to linger). He also kindly shared some pragmatic approaches in real life that I could adopt to make a change at a behavioral level, which proved helpful.

I think Jon has a talent for being acute and logical with a down to earth touch to help people like me who dwell too much in an abstract world and find themselves lost from time to time.

Thanks Jon!

I decided to talk to a mental health counselor during a period of intense anxiety and personal self-doubt. While I was skeptical about therapy at first, Jon helped me to identify inconsistencies in the judgments I frequently make against myself, as well as my tendency to catastrophize the future. In addition to being a patient and non-judgmental listener, Jon’s focus on practical and immediately applicable strategies for managing problem areas such as sleep, fitness, and communication within relationships provided me with a pathway out of depression and towards better mental health. Therapy with Jon didn’t offer any magical solutions to my mental health problems, but it did help to reframe many of the issues I have with myself in a more realistic light. After that, it became simpler to take action on many of the problems affecting my mental health. I would recommend him to anyone who is in a tough place and needs help.

I have been talking with Jon for almost a year. Jon has helped me set goals and break them down into manageable parts. He makes connections to the past work we have done in meaningful ways that continue to resonate. He introduces pertinent resources, strategies and skills I can continue to practice on my own, helping me stay focused on my goals. Jon creates a safe, respectful space. I feel grateful for his understanding, compassion, professionalism, and expertise. He continues to help me make positive changes and work toward being my best self.

I had a wonderful experience working with Jon. He provided a relaxed environment where I felt comfortable discussing difficult, personal issues. Most importantly with Jon I felt heard and understood. He made insightful observations that led me to look at things in a different light and address issues I hadn’t thought about before.

I attended sessions with Jon for just over a month. I was at a difficult point in my life, yet by the time our sessions ended, I felt I had made immense progress.

Jon’s approach is extremely professional; I felt instantly at ease speaking to him and felt all my thoughts were fully listened to. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

When I first came to see Jon, I was very depressed, was suffering from very low self esteem and self confidence, felt undeserving of love and affection, and had no hope of having love and a family. I was also in the grips of an addiction that had lasted for well over a decade. Jon treated all my issues with understanding, and acceptance; thereby showing me how to better accept myself. He did not dismiss any of my concerns as trivial, but he was able to bring my focus onto the issues that were more important, and more fundamental. At the same time, he helped me see how I might be able to overcome my many concerns by focusing and addressing the fundamental problems that I had been dealing with for so many years. I was also shown the effects of my childhood trauma, and the challenges I had faced, and started to feel less guilty. This in turn, allowed me to see myself as not being inherently flawed, but as a person who had had challenges that can be overcome, and difficulties that can be addressed.

Jon’s ability to balance a somewhat philosophical take on why I had come to suffer, with pragmatic ways to overcome the personal beliefs and anxieties which prolonged the suffering, was beneficial. I have worked with several therapists, and I don’t know if I have ever made as much real progress working with any other therapists. Jon made me feel that I was confiding in a friend who truly cared about my well being, was able and willing to listen to anything I had to say, without judgement. One who understood me and knew how I might be able to overcome my psychological and emotional problems, while helping me believe in my dreams and my ability to reach them. I was always eager to see Jon and discuss my new findings while doing informed (by his insights) self-exploration.

While I only spent about three months working with Jon, and would still need more therapy or emotional support, I have been able to witness and feel profound changes within myself. I am no longer hopeless; I do not allow people to walk all over me. I have self-respect, and demand respect from others. I do not dwell on my past failures, I do not allow unpleasant situations, events, and treatments by others, to take me into a spiral of self-loathing, sorrow, and dejection. I look for solutions, feel engaged with life, and take actions to improve my situation. I have started to date, exercise, and seek opportunities to improve my employment potential, and my finances.

To summarise the last four months, I have found working with Jon a very positive experience.
