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. Life happens, tragedy comes about, or situations arise to make you feel unhinged Sometimes, you just need someone with whom you can unload. Someone who will walk you through solutions to the problems at hand. I would like to be that person for you.
I am Dr. Jonathan Behler, a NC, KY, ID, VA, SC, and AL Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and an ordained minister trained in pastoral counseling. I work primarily through video and phone appointments in a secure environment.

I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, marital issues, family issues, clergy burnout, porn addiction, numerous other mental health issues. I have also worked with military members and their families dealing with PTSD related issues. Finally, I have extensive experience working with clergy members.
