I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-esteem/worth, grief, relationship issues, and adjustment to numerous life events. I have also helped many people begin the most courageous healing process from trauma and abuse. My therapy style is warm and compassionate and I firmly beleive that each person is worthy and deserving of peace in their lives. At different times in our lives, we all struggle with difficulty and I am honored and privileged every time a client, couple, or family allow me to join them on their journey.

Dr. Jonathan Behler
In life, you seek out the ability to have peace, harmony, a fulfilling career, and a happy family. However, sometimes these things do not happen, or things go astray.

Someone who will walk you through solutions to the problems at hand. I would like to be that person for you. I have a Master's of Divinity in Theology, a Master's in Professional Counseling and a Ph.D. in Psychology. I am certified in AACC counseling with panic disorder; Neurobiology and Addiction; Certified Clinical Trauma Professional; and Certified in PCIT for Traumatized Children. I also have a certification in sexuality and sexual addiction. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, Tourette Syndrome, OCD, marital issues and numerous other mental health issues. I have also worked with military members and their families dealing with PTSD related issues. I have also worked with clergy members and their families dealing with issues of the church.
