John is a like a wise friend who is there to listen, advise and guide you through the sometimes turbulent situations in life. He is very thoughtful and compassionate as he draws upon his experience and skills to lend perspective and support. He is always generous with his time and he is authentically committed to improving the well being of his clients.

I have emailed him and called him for over two weeks now with no response other than "I'll get back to you shortly". Poor business practice
A simple, "I am completely booked" would have been fine but I have received nothing.

When I first saw John I was coming from a place of curiousity. I wanted to know more about myself and how to overcome my messed up childhood. Little did I know that my sessions with John would help me become the best version of myself. I had tried other therapists in the past. Some good some not so good but John is on an entirely different level. From the very beginning he treated with kindness and attentavinesss as you would a close friend. His approach is non-judgement and extremly insightful. After every session I would leave feeling a sense of peace and centeredness. After working with John

John is such a warm soul. I found him very easy to connect with. Not everyone can be a perfect match and certainly would not expect miracles in one session. I saw John many times and I have never felt more heard. I didn't write a review earlier but as I refer a friend to him I looked up his reviews. I am very disappointed to see the negativity in some of his reviews. You know the people who can never be pleased? Anyways, I consider John to be an amazing counselor and always refer people to him.

Finally, a doctor stops and cranes his neck to catch her voice. The woman says, "Doc! Doc! Look, I'm in a minefield and I have no idea how to get out!" The doctor writes a prescription, says, "Here you go, this will help," throws it into the wind and keeps walking. Later, a priest walks by and hears her tenuous cries for assistance. Writing a prayer on a slip of paper, he tosses it at her and says, "Here
