John is an exceptional therapist who creates a safe, supportive environment where I feel truly heard and understood. He has a remarkable ability to pinpoint specific words or phrases I use, helping me reflect more deeply on my emotions and thought patterns. His insightful observations and gentle guidance have allowed me to explore underlying feelings I might have otherwise overlooked.
