Jason Herwick

Since 2013, I’ve helped clients overcome social anxiety, gaming addiction, and substance abuse—while also developing emotional intelligence and building healthier relationships. I understand firsthand how internet culture, modern relationships, and existential doubt shape our struggles. My approach is direct but empathetic, balancing honesty with actionable solutions to help you take control of your life.

If you're stuck in a cycle of doomscrolling, blackpilling, or social withdrawal, I can help you break free. We’ll work on improving emotional communication, navigating online and offline relationships, and developing a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is engaging, sometimes humorous, but always focused on real growth. I minimize worksheets and prioritize evidenced-based solutions. I utilize ACT, REBT and CBT to help you identify issues and create lasting change. I also draw from my academic background in existential philosophy and critical theory. I'm a genuine, goofy but direct person, I like having real conversations and I offer free consultations.

• ACT helps you stop fighting your thoughts and emotions and start focusing on what truly matters. Instead of getting caught in the struggle, we work together to build psychological flexibility—so you can take meaningful action even in the face of difficulty.
• REBT tackles the deeply ingrained beliefs that fuel distress, helping you challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and cultivate a healthier, more rational mindset.
• CBT provides structured, goal-oriented strategies to break the cycle of negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping you develop lasting coping skills.

My clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard and seen along with practical, actionable strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. My approach combines insight with action—we won’t just vent; you’ll gain tools to change unhelpful thought patterns, build emotional resilience, and take meaningful steps forward.

You’ll also get a mix of challenge and support. I’ll help you question beliefs that hold you back while providing a space where you feel heard and understood. I will minimize worksheets and prioritize real engagement and solutions. Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more in control, more capable, and more confident in overcoming your current challenge.
