Written on Feb 24, 2025 after therapy with John for 2 years and 8 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, anger management, and coping with life changes

I can’t say enough about how incredible my experience has been with John. He has an amazing ability to help me see things from new perspectives, unlocking insights I never would have reached on my own. His approach is compassionate, insightful, and truly transformative.

Every session leaves me feeling more empowered and with a deeper understanding of myself and the situations I navigate. John doesn’t just listen—he challenges me in the best way, offering thoughtful guidance that helps me grow emotionally and mentally.

If you’re looking for a therapist who genuinely cares, creates a safe and welcoming space, and has a gift for helping you shift your mindset in powerful ways, I highly recommend John.

John and I have worked together for a while now and I respect his opinion with my needs and guidance he has provided throughout.

John Henry is a very knowledgeable therapist that provides a safe space to listen to what is going on in my life and how I process things. I would like more pointed advice or things to work on outside of therapy but at this time we have only had a few sessions and I’m very satisfied with his ability to listen and be non judgmental to my unique situation. I look forward to continuing my current therapy journey with him.

John changed my life. He listened and heard my situation. In the end, I turned it around and showed up as a better person.

Not only am I thankful for that. It’s given people around me so much more joy.

John is great. He's flexible in his approach. He doesn't stick to one or two modalities; he responds with what the situation at hand calls for.

He's very respectful of me, my experiences, and what I say about them. He asks questions about events so he can put together a timeline and understand what happened in what order. I never feel like he asks for details to decide how true it is. He believes what I say and we work from there.

He is also very responsive to change -- when I can identify what to ask for, of course. If I need him to shift approach or I have a problem with something he did, we talk about it. He doesn't get defensive. I strongly feel his goal really is to support me and help me -- because it comes through in his actions and it has from the beginning.

Like I said, John's a great guy. I feel lucky that we get to work together.

John exemplifies what it is to be a therapist. He is a mentor. He challenges you without making you uncomfortable, and many times without realizing it until later. He is supportive without judgment and provides fantastic insight.

Written on Dec 22, 2022 after therapy with John for 7 months on issues concerning relationship

John has seriously been one of the best people to have ever come into my partner and I's life. He is very attentive, engaging, and knowledgeable on what tools you need to overcome the challenges you are facing, how to tackle them both individually and as a couple. There was never a moment I thought he was taking sides or playing favorites; he always asked for both person's input and thoughts on a situation. We are sad to go, but feel like we have been given a new outlook on our relationship and ourselves with how much he has bestowed upon us in our time with him
