John Calef

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with nearly ten years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and substance use challenges. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and rooted in evidence-based practices that support lasting growth and healing.

I understand that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety or depression, or seeking support in recovery, I am here to help.

My work integrates techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based approaches to tailor treatment to your specific needs. I believe that therapy should be collaborative, and I will work alongside you to identify your goals and strengths while addressing the barriers that may be holding you back.

If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make the process as welcoming and supportive as possible. In our first few sessions, we’ll take time to explore what brings you to therapy, discuss your concerns, and identify the changes you want to make. Together, we will set clear, realistic goals tailored to your needs and personal growth.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process—this is your journey, and I am here to support and guide you with compassion, honesty, and practical tools. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, past trauma, or substance use challenges, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can be open and heard.

I take an individualized approach, drawing from evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care. Throughout our work together, we will check in on your progress, adjust goals as needed, and ensure that you feel empowered to move forward at a pace that feels right for you.
