Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Are you trying to figure out which came first for you, the depression/anxiety or the substance abuse/addiction? I'm trained and specialize in distinguishing between the two and finding a treatment plan for both. I take a collaborative approach with my clients and see our relationship as a partnership. My motto is to meet each client where they are individually and work from that point. I'm here to help you change your thought process and your behaviors so you can live a healthy and content life.

I am most interested in working with someone or a family that is in at least a bit of a crisis. It may be that you have tried a number of ways to solve the problems, but they don't seem to be working, and you are very frustrated, especially at the responses you are getting from friends and relatives. You may feel your depression, anxiety or that your child is out of control; that it's time to try something different.

Life is not easy with all it demands, expectations and responsibilities. At some point in life and under certain circumstances life can become too difficult and we feel overwhelmed. We react with stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. This is the time when we are ready to look for support and to find ways improving our lives. Be it from a difficult childhood, the end of a relationship or from other hardships there are ways to heal. When you are ready to start the journey of healing I would be honored to accompany you and help you to find your innate strength to build the healthy relationship with yourself and life that you deserve

Every day, people go through hard times, breakups, divorces, grief, and the loss of a friend, animal, or loved one, the loss of a job, etc, and we all need help from an unbiased person for aid and support in these and other areas of concern. When it comes to Trauma, I believe it is an exciting part of life; one is not expecting it, and you barely understand it. Now you can deal with and overcome it in a healthy and professional way. Along with other mental health issues, I have experienced enough trauma, grief and loss, sadness, depression, and substance use to last a lifetime, from childhood mistakes to adult issues and I can help.

With over 25 years of clinical experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, I offer compassionate and humanistic client focused care. I start with a thorough evaluation focusing on what the client is experiencing and what the client would like resolved within the safety and convenience of my private practice. A blend of interpersonal therapy along with cognitive behavioral techniques is offered to empower the client to overcome painful and overwhelming relational or life experiences. In addition to outpatient clinical care, I offer assessment services including mental health and psychological assessments.

My name is Jonathan Gears, and I work with teenagers and adults who are struggling with adjusting to their current life circumstances. With the mounting pressures of school, work, family issues, health, finances, and relationships, it is no surprise that depression, anxiety, stress, and several other mental health issues can set in. If you are feeling lost during this phase of life, you are not alone. It will get better; you will find yourself again, and therapy might be a part of that journey. I want to help you feel more confident facing life's challenges as soon as possible.
