Maybe you’re hitting up against some loneliness and isolation right now. Or maybe some old burdens are affecting your current life. Lets talk. Your story matters to me. The thing is, I really enjoy helping people cultivate resilience and self- compassion. Depression, Anxiety, Anger that’s hard to control, Addiction issues (Porn, Gambling, Substances) all these are adversities that we humans grapple with. I've been doing this for a minute. I can say for sure that there is no cookie-cutter solution. It's more about connection. My focus is to create the space for someone to know they aren’t alone in this.
A gentle, trauma informed journey into mindfulness ensues, and flows towards specific therapy concepts that work best for the individual. We go with what resonates. I enjoy drawing from IFS, Narrative, CBT, CPT, and Client Centered therapies to name a few. These paths can be informed by specific Ted Talks/Podcasts to augment the learning part of our work.
I love the metaphor of life being a journey, a winding path. Most of us have internal burdens we're carrying along the way. Processing some of those with a neutral and supportive confidant, one who has earned your trust, can be immensely healing. So if you want to share the trail for a while, I'd be honored. Either way, I wish you the best on your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for John Kauffroth. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
He is amazing, listens well and follows through on exercises he intends to send for helping further. He cuts to the chase and makes sure that we are working on things that need to be worked on.

I started working with John during a really overwhelming period. I had recently suffered a loss and my job environment was incredibly stressing. He helped me make sense of the steps I needed to take to reset, grieve, and recover. He also introduced gentle muscle relaxation techniques for sleep that helped me release some of the pressure I was putting on myself to “force” sleep — and that shift alone has made nights feel less daunting. I appreciate how thoughtful, practical, and compassionate he is.

This man has helped me keep my problems in perspective, as well as helps shape and maintain my idea of success when I had no idea what that would even look like. His expertise is accentuated by his down-to-earth demeanor and what feels like genuine compassion for what I'm going through. I couldn't imagine being any more satisfied with a mental health care professional.

I feel John understood my issues and focused on the most critical one even though I was redirecting somewhat. He's suggested coping mechanisms and relaxation exercises that have been very helpful. He's been through issues himself and come out the other side which gives me great confidence in how he's helping me deal with my issues. Couldn't recommend more highly!

Through only a couple sessions and exchanging messages with John I have been very encouraged by the work to date. He’s knowledgeable enough to speak in a more casual and unscripted nature while listening to understand your life and circumstances. I have started IFS and after a single session I’m beginning to understand the process and his guidance has helped me immensely to bring the concepts to something tangible I can practice.
The conversations are lighthearted while at the same time probing deeply into things that have been under the surface for decades. If you’re able to do the upfront work of looking at yourself in a completely honest way, you will gain a lot of valuable and practical knowledge working with John.
Thank you for everything so far John and looking forward to continuing.
