More about Jonathan

  • LMHC

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I have only had bad experiences with male therapists so I was very anxious when I saw I was paired with a male therapist. There is an inherent power dynamic when entering a relationship with any healthcare provider. Johnathan was so great. He listened to me, treated me with respect, and we were able to cultivate a collaborative approach to my mental health needs. I would highly recommend Johnathan!!

He is easy to talk to, and it feels like he really listens and is empathetic towards me. He provides me with what I need in a therapist at this time in my life.

Jonathan is very compassionate and down to earth. He does a great balance of listening, asking good questions, and giving wise, kind input. He makes you feel very comfortable talking about private matters in a way that’s not invasive or condemning. Highly recommend.

Jonathan is great at what he does. Though I haven't had any recent sessions (from being distracted with other things) I often reflect on what he's said whenever I feel like I need guidance. I am currently doing better than I have in the past 6 years or so thanks to that.
