First time using this app. Mr. Saunders has been patient, understanding keeps up with my life changes and gives multiple strategies to help. My confidence has been a lot better with his help and guidance.

Working with John has been so helpful for me! He offers plenty of space for me to hear myself and provides ways for me to reframe my thinking. I really benefit from the statements he gives me to reflect on each week. I’ve had a great experience working with him so far!

John is insightful yet attentive. There have been so many times where he says something that perfectly addresses an emotion or a situation I’ve been going through. His relationship is also evident in the way that he weaves scripture into his therapy and tools / methodologies he recommends for dealing with life’s issues.
