Have you been struggling with your self esteem? Do you feel like you lack control in your life and have been just "going through the motions"? Perhaps you feel like your unable to handle life transitions or difficult conversations with people? This can be very frustrating and make us feel stuck in a never ending cycle. Many people accept this as the way it will always be and cannot see a way out.

My approach to therapy is strength-based, focused, humanistic and highly individualized. I work to establish mutually agreed upon wellness and recovery goals.

I have found my gentle but firm approach to be highly successful in working with depression, relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress, and adjustment difficulties. I have over thirty years of professional experience working with individuals, couples and groups. Helping families cope with the challenges of mental illness is a personal specialty.

With over 25 years working in the mental health field, I have found that a compassionate, empathetic approach is a necessity when providing therapy. Seeking therapy can be very challenging; one has usually endured a great amount of hardship or discomfort before even making the decision to seek help. A significant aspect to therapy is that to be truly effective, a person must feel comfortable with their therapist and build considerable trust to help facilitate their healing. My goal is to find the best approach that will work for you, maximizing the benefit you will receive in therapy.

I believe life is directed and driven from our innermost being. I believe our hopes, desires, and our actions are motivated from within. Many times those motivations are difficult to see, explain, or to understand. This can leave us with questions as to why life doesn't seem to work for us. Why do we carryout unproductive behaviors and maintain unproductive relationships. Lets explore together the why, and consider alternative ways to approach life.

Sometimes, we all face complex thoughts and emotions that can make us feel down, anxious, or preoccupied. It's perfectly normal to seek professional help when dealing with these challenges. Whether related to depression, anxiety, trauma, or even changes in our personal and professional lives, complex mental states can arise from various factors, like work relationships, family dynamics, or life transitions such as health issues, financial concerns, or interpersonal situations.

We can all benefit from talking to a therapist! Someone who can listen objectively without judgment and help us work through life's difficult issues. My name is Justin Kahn, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and the owner of Main Street Counseling. Our therapists have many years of experience and success treating a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, ADHD, behavioral issues, anger management, substance abuse, grief, and more.

Over the last decade, I have successfully helped children, adolescents, and adults from different backgrounds achieve their goals. The clients I have worked with have struggled with issues including but not limited to: anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, personality disorders, stage of life issues, relationship conflicts, anger management, self-confidence, and impulse control difficulties. My number one goal is for us to build trust in our relationship so that we can work together to achieve your goals too.

The most difficult moment is making a decision to talk with someone. I am glad you found my page. My approach to counseling and therapy is tailored to the person that I am working with. A client centered strengths based approach with the evidence based models such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and others will be adapted to your unique situation and concerns. This can begin the journey to the True self where peace is found.

Life is full of challenges and has its share of ups and downs. Often, life takes us to unexpected places and we are challenged in figuring out what are our next steps should be. The unpredictability of life can leave us overwhelmed, anxious, trigger our obsessive thoughts and even lead us to question the meaning of life and what our role and purpose in life is.

In my experience, the best way to address a problem is head-on. If we avoid the things, people, and places that are stressing us out we only prolong our feelings of anxiety and depression. I believe this policy sticks whether we are dealing with avoiding cleaning a messy house, walking on eggshells with a significant other, or feeling at a loss when your child just doesn't listen. My solution-focused approach to problem solving is ideal for assisting you in many of life's challenging moments.

My work with clients operates from a deep understanding that we all struggle in many ways. What is foundational to effectively working through our unique challenges is to feel supported in doing so.
