In life, you seek out the ability to have peace, harmony, a fulfilling career, and a happy family. However, sometimes these things do not happen, or things go astray.

Someone who will walk you through solutions to the problems at hand. I would like to be that person for you.

I am certified in AACC counseling with panic disorder; Neurobiology and Addiction; Certified Clinical Trauma Professional; and Certified in PCIT for Traumatized Children. I also have a certification in sexuality and sexual addiction.
I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, marital issues and numerous other mental health issues.

Dr. Behler makes me feel understood and heard. He is the best therapist there is. He validates my feelings and helps me to cope with all the stresses of my life. He has an excellent podcast too that is really helping me outside of our sessions. I highly recommend this therapist.

Written on Oct 31, 2022 after therapy with Jonathan for 7 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, adhd, and anger management
I had been putting off therapy for years for many reasons when I know I needed it but due to previous personal experience I did not have trust with therapists. I tried another therapist on this app and I couldn’t seem to connect with her the way I needed to. I immediately connected to Dr. Behler as he listened without judgement and empathized which built the trust I was seeking and allowed me to open up to him.
He asks me questions in a way that guides me to come to conclusions on my own creating those, “Ah Ha” moments. He then works with me on what to do after those moments to process what has happened or how to change a negative behavior pattern. He is patient, kind and supportive. This, is the furtherest I have made it in therapy and because of Dr. Behler I don’t plan on stopping. With my family and him by my side I know that I have the support to deal with the different traumatic events through my life and finally be able to move forward.

I live in a community where mental health care is minimal at best. I tried BetterHelp and have found my therapist, Dr Behler, to have been matched with me very well. In my case my identity is in Jesus and I need a therapist who doesn’t talk me out of that, but counsels knowing my Christian background. Now things are making sense.

Dr.Behler has been such a crucial part of my growth these last few months. He has always provided me with a safe space to talk and he’s so patient and understanding with me. He’s been the first person I’ve ever been able to open up to and feel like they care about what I have to say. He has also helped me with my journey with god, which I really needed when I first met him. He is an amazing therapist and I highly recommend him!!

Written on Mar 22, 2022 after therapy with Jonathan for 2 weeks on issues concerning family conflicts, and anger management
I had to start over with a new therapist for logistics reasons due to Covid so it was a little unknown at first what to expect. Since I already had a relationship with my other therapist, I was hesitant to re tell my story. It was easy from the moment we chatted and I have felt supported, especially in a way that matches up with my faith. I appreciate the midweek messages to wish me well and the availability that he offers. And I like the work sheets and “assignments“ that help me learn more about myself as well as tackle the issues at hand. I feel like I’m growing and healing quickly with the work that we have done.

Jonathan has been very helpful for me. He helps me understand my emotions, and figure out where they might be coming from. I am encouraged as the advices he gives are also Bible-based and it's exactly what I need. Reaching out to him is very easy through messaging, and he also checks on me mid-week.

Jonathan Behler is a great counselor. He's kind, considerate, and he believes in his faith. When you have faith in God, then you have the inspiration and the ability to give happiness and joy to others and that is how I found happiness again.

Very helpful and insightful at an extremely emotional time in my life. Jonathan is excellent at listening compassionately and really understanding what I am saying (or trying to say!). I have come out of every live session with a wonderful "nugget" to think and reflect on.
He has responded to every single journal entry and message that I've sent him very promptly.

Jonathan is amazing! I was not sure I wanted a faith based counselor since my traumas come from the church and that’s why I decided to seek counseling. But Jonathan was incredible and I feel he heard me and listened with an understanding heart, not because he is a counselor but because I feel he genuinely cares. We also have the same faith so it’s nice. I feel hopeful about my faith and I feel so much peace. I feel blessed to have been placed with him on BetterHelp!
