I am not the counselor who will sit back listen and say "there, there". Caring feedback, effective tools and reflecting on personal experience are the cornerstones to change. I embrace a collaborative approach that reveals the challenges and learns from the failures that we all encounter. I want you to make an impact on your life and see your potential and the path to your potential more clearly.
I am a licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Addictions Counselor I working in Colorado. I have a master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacific University in Forest Grove Oregon. I have extensive experience as a counselor and I have an established successful practice for over Ten years. I have worked in behavioral health for over twenty three years specializing in mental health, school aged counseling and life transitions. I have a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Desensitization techniques and Existential "purpose" driven Therapy. I have worked many years in inpatient centers helping ex-military and civilians with PTSD , Substance abuse, and mental and behavioral issues. I have also worked as a school counselor for over eight years with experience in relational issues, learning issues and mood issues.
I approach the client counselor relationship as a learning experience for both the client and I. I appreciate each person's expertise and experience and I look forward to hearing each person's story and approach. I have been influenced greatly by the suffering Psychologist Victor Frankl who believed, "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves." I strongly believe that success begins with balance and balance begins with self awareness, self direction and purpose. Is it time to make a change?

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jon Cleckler. 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.
Jon has provided me with a unique and thoughtful perspective and I really appreciate that he follows up with check-ins and connects me with more detail, articles or blogs to help inform my perspective.
