I started working with Dr. John for men’s issues related to anxiety and workplace stress. I needed a therapist that was caring and understood men’s issues. He was exactly what I needed. I learned a bunch of new skills, including how to practice mindfulness and meditation. I loved our hypnotherapy sessions. I would definitely use him again! Even better, I could use my insurance, Blue Cross, with him. - Adam Richard, 5 stars

I worked with John for severe work burnout and help with creating a better relationship with money. He was very understanding and patient with me and I appreciated his compassionate, nonjudgmental approach. I really feel like I learned some new skills and know how to work through stress so much better. He was well worth the time and money! - Aaron Mehrju Martinez, 5 stars

I had been struggling with significant levels of anxiety and stress for several months, so I set out on a search to find professional guidance and support. After giving it a shot with a few therapists, I was starting to lose hope rather quickly. It started to feel like the right therapist for me wasn’t out there. I began asking people in my social circle for recommendations, and a friend/colleague recommended Dr. John. This actually wasn’t the first or only time his name came up as a recommendation, so I decided to reach out. Making that first appointment with Dr. John was probably the best decision I ever could have made. From the beginning, he made me feel understood and heard, and approached each of our sessions with a warm and welcoming presence that allowed me to immediately start feeling like I was making steps toward a more positive and healthier outlook of my day to day routine. Dr. John’s expertise is second to none! I needed coping strategies to address the immense amount of stress and anxiety I was experiencing. Driven by his passion for the people he works with, he was able to help me implement specific and effective ways to improve my overall energy levels, and my social/emotional battery skyrocketed. As a male, I wasn’t overly confident I’d have success with a male therapist that would be able to relate to some of the issues I was wrestling with. Dr. John was incredibly helpful in working with me to develop stress management techniques that were geared to work for me personally, and allowed me to feel bought-in to the process. I strongly believe that it is crucial for people who struggle with anxiety and stress to establish realistic and effective techniques that can be used regularly to improve their quality of life. It has been so refreshing to feel passion and enthusiasm for the social activities and commitments in my life again! I can say with confidence that you will not find any other therapist out there that can help you achieve the results you will get with Dr. John! - Cory Graef, 5 stars

I’m a professional athlete who needed a sports psychologist to help me because I had lost my confidence. After working with John for about six months, I’m a completely different person. He spent time getting to know my background and helping me understand my fears. Together we made a plan of action through something he called CBT. This was reinforced through hypnosis. I also got some really useful homework assignments. Now, I’m back to where I used to be and even excited for the future. This is a very encouraging and caring healer. You’ll learn a lot about yourself with him. Best therapist I could have ever worked with. - Nick Stone, 5 stars

I needed a hypnotherapist to help me with self-esteem and confidence building. The truth is my career was going nowhere and I couldn’t get motivated to take the necessary steps for change. After meeting with John a few times to work through some anxiety issues, we started hypnotherapy. After just a few sessions, I started to notice I felt better about myself. Like mentally stronger, if that makes sense. I’d go back to him again for sure. Really nice guy. Super intuitive in a mysterious kind of way. - Aiden BlissXL, 5 stars
