Hello, I’m Jonathan Toman. Thanks for visiting my profile. I realize you may be going through a tough time. Perhaps you’re experiencing a significant transition, a loss, or feelings you’re not sure how to deal with. This can be scary and difficult. Sometimes the hardest part is acknowledging the need for help. I have hope for you. I believe we all have the internal resources to heal and grow, and I would like to help you uncover this healing power within yourself.

My 27 years of experience as a counselor places me in a unique position to understand the complexities, struggles, and frustrations that often accompany the ever changing landscape of our lives. Sometimes these changes are the result of fluctuations in our relationships, or alterations in our environment, and sometimes, they're the re-emergence of old behaviors that may have been a stumbling block in the past. At other times, your life might suddenly lead you to a place where your problem is simply the need for a new "game plan", in order to facilitate greater achievement.

Why do people seek therapy? Either something has just happened or something KEEPS happening...We usually know when we need to talk to someone professionally, but sometimes we resist reaching out; pride, shame, family beliefs can postpone this call. I encourage this first step, interview your therapist and find the person best suited for you.

How are you getting in your own way? Did you grow up in a toxic family? Is there a way you start believing that you are not good enough? You look in the mirror and feel puzzled by this stranger looking back at you. Getting out of bed each morning is becoming more difficult. You feel invisible. Life has become totally overwhelming. You support everyone else, and yet you feel completely drained. You have lost direction, and feel sad, lonely, and miserable. You want to start taking risks, and absolutely need to make changes in your life, in order for you to feel fulfilled! Yet, you feel as though you are in quick sand!

I work collaboratively with my patients to explore the ways in which their past experiences have shaped their current relationships, both with themselves and with others. In therapy, we will pay close attention to the dynamics of our own relationship, as well as to patterns of behavior and communication that may be holding you back in other areas of your life. By developing greater self-awareness and insight into these patterns, you can begin to break free of old patterns and forge more meaningful and fulfilling connections with others.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and eating disorders, . I work with clients who seek to explore their thoughts and emotions, how these feelings and thinking patterns connect to their experiences, and understand overall impacts on quality of life. My clients work to develop healthy coping mechanisms through self-reflection and therapeutic connection to better navigate their relationships, emotions, and life stressors. I would love to work together to create healthy coping skills, enhance interpersonal relationships, and improve quality of life.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Lifelong struggles or new life events that leave you feeling overwhelmed, sad or stuck might have you considering therapy. Were you or someone in your life diagnosed with a life changing illness? Have you been coping with your sadness and stress by drinking too much? Or have you been struggling with an internal conflict that is leaving you with many different feelings such as loneliness, depression, or anxiety? Therapy can help you find peace and provide long lasting benefits to you and your relationships.

I love my work and feel incredibly fortunate to have formed so many meaningful therapeutic relationships. It is a privilege to travel with clients as they emerge from suffering and utilize the strengths they have found and the skills they have learned to achieve balance and ultimately, their life goals. The relationship between therapist and client is a real, equalitarian relationship built on honesty, respect, and collaboration. As we get to know each other, you will find that I am warm, genuine, non-judgmental, flexible, direct, and irreverent. I have a good sense of humor and believe that laughter is an important part of healing.

Navigating life’s challenges is no easy pursuit. At times we don’t feel we have the skills or resources to cope successfully, especially without support. My clients are individuals, couples and families seeking therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma as well as relationship challenges and difficulty associated with life transitions, communication struggles, (co)parenting skills. As a relational therapist I believe that every person, and relationship, has the potential for growth and positive change and I want you to feel empowered to take the steps toward the life you want to be living.

Life has many challenging moments, and life is full of them. Children, teens, and adults may struggle with school/work difficulties, social/emotional problems, relationship issues, difficult transitions (college, move, divorce, or loss), or daily stressors or conflicts for which they need support. Though parents do their best to create a conflict and stress-free environment, children will inevitably face obstacles, and adults face a range of stressors and complex emotions that can be difficult to navigate. I aim to empower you with knowledge and strategies to help you with the presenting problem and other challenging situations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychotherapy with adults and couples in English and Spanish. I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals dealing with important issues and transitions in their lives, who often struggle with feelings of depression and anxiety. Some of my clients seek to make sense of traumatic experiences and to deal with painful and uncomfortable emotions. Many struggle with identity and self-worth issues.

I am not your typical therapist, and strive to always create that emotional connection that allows us to work through any issue as a team. Most of my clients have already tried traditional therapy, and haven't been able to engage in one way or the other. Many of my clients haven't felt heard or understood, and it is a goal of mine to make therapy accessible for all. My belief as a therapist is that everyone can benefit- and should benefit from the relationship they have with their therapist. My clients believe in person centered care- and feedback goes both ways. I provide a trauma informed environment where the client gets to lead.

The people I work with seek therapy for all the emotional turmoil life throws at you: pressures to perform, anxiety, marriage and premarital distress, trouble sleeping and changes in mood. Others I see come to therapy with a broader wish to understand their own nature, to see themselves and timeworn habits more clearly. In each case, my goal is not to simply fix problems in your life or marriage, but rather to help you gain control when it seems like the world around you is spinning. For couples, my goal is to move your relationship from distress to security, understanding and mutual trust.
