More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 46 State: New Jersey

I am licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania with over 40 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, mental health clinician and psychiatric social worker. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, PTSD and maintaining recovery from drug and alcohol dependence. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, problem solving, spiritual and skills development counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

John is truly wonderful. He really helped me look at life in a helpful perspective and be more sure and confident in myself. I’m taking a break from therapy right now and it’s only because John has given me the confidence to do so by helping me during our sessions. I highly recommend him!

John is very kind, sensitive and insightful

Overall

I have only been with John for a short time. However he is very sensitive to my needs and seems to know exactly what to say to move my intractable dialogue forward. I trust him to be discreet and decent. He lacks judgment and pedantic nagging that has turned me away from therapy for so long.
