Hi, My name is John Saunders I am a licensed mental health counselor and master addictions counselor. I provide solution-focused therapy, CBT, and addiction counseling. I work collaboratively with patients to meet their purpose goals and objectives for treatment. I utilize both a behavioral and psychodynamic approach to assist clients to achieve their goals for therapy.

Has mainstream medicine failed to help you? Do you continue to feel anxious or depressed as if something is missing in your life? Are you able to feel a sense of calm and curiosity about your feelings, or do they overwhelm you? My purpose is to help you develop perspective about your thoughts and emotions in an empathic, collaborative process. Together we will develop a more compassionate, less judgmental relationship with yourself and others. Over time, we can restore a sense of curiosity and pleasure in your personal and professional lives through targeted interventions.

My primary goal as a therapist is to help you become the best and most whole version of yourself. I offer an integrative approach to psychotherapy that employs insight and reflection (Psychodynamic Therapy) as well as active coping skills and goal-setting (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I am also trained in Integrative Harm Reduction Therapy for those struggling with addictive and compulsive behaviors. Further, I believe lifestyle interventions around nutrition, exercise, meditation, and spirituality can be valuable tools for psychological well-being and I help my clients cultivate positive habits in these areas if applicable.

Most people enter into therapy to gain a better understanding of themselves with the hope of living a better life. This has become a major goal for many due to the aftermath of the pandemic. Are there issues in your life that are causing roadblocks or obstacles that you can’t seem to get past? Are you dealing with battles related to trauma, alcohol and addiction, sexual identity, depression, anxiety, or shame that are setting you off balance? One may have the desire, motivation, and willingness to move forward in their lives, but may need some direction and skills that will help navigate them through these complex experiences.

If you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning and looking for therapy, you've found the right place. I'm here to help and support you in a safe and welcoming environment. We'll work together to help you find the best way to live the successful and happy life you deserve.

If you are skeptical about psychotherapy because so many therapists endlessly talk about feelings, dwell on the past, or have abstract theories that only they understand, then my sensible approach is for you. I teach you ideas to help you cope with difficult situations, challenging people, unfair burdens, acts of disrespect, disapproval, rejection, and states of deprivation. I teach you ideas and strive to get you in and out of therapy. In my view therapy should be problem-focused, efficient, sensible, and teach you how to help yourself. I do not want you to grow dependent on a psychotherapist but rather learn how to depend on you.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act because it is a process where you can grow and evolve. I like to think of therapy as a collaborative healing experience where we can work together to help improve the aspects of your life that are troublesome. I'll help you discover your untapped strengths and potential in the process. My hope is that you can feel empowered, increase your confidence, and develop a better understanding of yourself. The ultimate goal of working with me is not to be stuck in therapy, but to be able to live your life more fully!

Therapy is all about helping clients in a way that makes sense for them - it's a mutually agreed upon experience that can be interactive and playful. Going to therapy doesn't mean something is "wrong," and doesn't even have to be about making changes or setting goals.

I draw on a multitude of influences, primarily psychodynamic, interpersonal and relational.
