He's inspirational and knowledgeable. I was matched with my ideal therapist honestly.

John is a great listener and he is very wise. In my time with him, he actively listened as I roved over a bunch of disorganized topics, and he was able to see the patterns in my thinking when I could not. He gave me sound advice that helped me change how I thought about the large factors in my life. As a result of his guidance, I feel better about myself and better prepared to cope with change, and the stress it brings. I now feel like I have a better sense of who I am and what I can choose to do. I no longer feel overwhelmed by the chaos of the world. I’m very grateful to have worked with John Shobe!
