Maybe you’re hitting up against some loneliness and isolation right now. Or maybe some old burdens are affecting your current life. Lets talk. I don't have any platitudes about positive thinking, but your story matters to me. The thing is, I really enjoy helping people cultivate resilience and self- compassion. Depression, , Anxiety, Anger that’s hard to control, Addiction issues (Porn, Gambling, Substances) all these are adversities that we humans grapple with. I've been doing this for a minute. I can say for sure that there is no cookie-cutter solution. It's more about connection. My focus is to create the space for someone to know they aren’t alone in this.
A gentle, trauma informed journey into mindfulness ensues, and flows towards specific therapy concepts that work best for the individual. We go with what resonates. I enjoy drawing from IFS, Narrative, CBT, and Client Centered therapies to name a few. These paths can be informed by specific Ted Talks/Podcasts to augment the learning part of our work.
I love the metaphor of life being a journey, a winding path. Most of us have internal burdens we're carrying along the way. Processing some of those with a neutral and supportive confidant, one who has earned your trust, can be immensely healing. So if you want to share the trail for a while, I'd be honored. Either way, I wish you the best on your journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
John gets straight to it and has an incredible, compassionate approach. He is the best therapist I could have asked for.
Very respectful and attuned to my issues, very professional. He is amazing.
I find myself thanking John after every session, I appreciate all the info and recommendations he sends to me outside of our scheduled sessions. Everything has been truly helpful.
Good therapist. I find my sessions with him to be helpful.
I have enjoyed my sessions. We are developing a good report and I believe making progress.
John Kauffroth has an amazing personality that I think a majority of the world could bond with. His patience and care seem to be very effective and his learning capabilities of your problems are extraordinary. He seems to really understand what you're going through as a human being, and not just some bot or number. John makes your sessions feel as if hes not just a slot machine therapist! You don't feel that roll of the dice 50/50 shot of "is the session doing anything? or am I just dumping money into someone for them to say, yeah I understand" John is someone who can help you not only believe in yourself again, but also give you hope. I personally believe a majority of patients need that hope. John could be the therapist/counselor for you, to give you that hope again. Warm Regards.
John is a warm and empathetic person with plenty of experience. He has always responded quickly with well thought out messages. He has a great ability of listening and understanding which is a great relief as it can be difficult talking about my feelings as a first time patient.
