I am a licensed therapist with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and career difficulties. I also offer life coaching as well. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe that once rapport between a therapist and client is built, just about anything can be accomplished. I have also found that considering personal, family, group, and social issues that may be contributing to one's current dilemma is very important. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Jonathan has been tremendous in improving my mental health and my relationship with my girlfriend. I'm very grateful to have been working with him.

Jonathan is an amazing therapist, and I trust him fully with my mental health work.
He listens and mirrors what I say well. He is entirely non-judgemental while at the same time challenging me to face the less comfortable questions and truths.
He has a great memory of our earlier communications, and weaves salient parables and (ironically) super-hero truisms into our work that resonate well with me.
I have worked with Jonathan for almost 2 years, and recommend him wholeheartedly.

It’s important for me to be able to share the discomforts that I’d like to let go of with my therapist, without him/her adopting it in order to support. I really feel confident in Jonathan abilities to do that, while offering strategies to step out of those mental practices that are debilitating, despite the experiences. Thank you Jonathan for setting the potential and guiding me there.

Jonathan is fantastic. He listens well and gives relevant advice. He tailors his sessions and excersises to my experience and it never feels like a "one size fits all" situation. He's had a very positive influence on my life and perceptions overall and would recommend him to anyone who needs a helping hand.

Jonathan gets to know you on multiple levels so he can break down walls and allow you to open up freely. He will lead you in a direction of healing if you trust the process and apply the tools that he gives you. The experience is easy and smooth so every session it feels like Iv accomplished something. In his words it’s about “progress, not perfection.” I find myself using this quote often since Johnathan had become my therapist. I can confidently look forward to the future with Jonathan in my corner.

Jonathan Ponds was the first therapist I was matched with while using this service and honesty I'm super glad. I had a really bad experience with therapy in the past and it made me really hesitant to come back to it, despite that I don't think I could be more glad i did. I feel a genuine understanding and compassion from Jonathan Pond a thousand fold coparied to anyone else I've seaked for professional help. This is the second review I've wrote about anything in my life and it's because he deserves it! Thank you for all your help.
