Hi there! My name is John, but everyone calls me JT. I've been a therapist here in Ohio since 2008 and I have expertise primarily in addictions, depression, and anxiety/stress. I have a masters degree in clinical counseling from Cincinnati Christian University and I love what I do.
My counseling style is relaxed and non judgmental, while also not being afraid to gently confront clients when contradictions are noticed. I'm well trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and more.
I look forward to

John (J.T.) has been so awesome and helpful at a time in my life when I just wasn't able to pull myself out of anxiety/depression alone. I wouldn't have stopped meeting him if it wasn't for me moving out of state/beyond his licensure territory. Would recommend him for sure!

John is an excellent therapist. I was a more than a little skeptical to give better help a try but I cannot begin to explain how relieved I am to have been matched with John.

I’ve tried therapy before and never saw a benefit from it until I started with John. I looked forward to my conversations because he gave me a space where I never felt judged, and always felt validated. I cried, I laughed, and took his advice and was able to incorporate it into my life. He supported me, made me see the good in myself, but also brought behaviors to light that I could work on. He is a great therapist and I would highly recommend!

JT is an excellent counselor. He’s always there to provide a quality external opinion. He responds to messages fast and really listens. He’s also able to break down parts of situations very well to help me better understand them. Highly recommend.
