Great to meet you!

John McDowell (Good Life Counseling). **Self-Pay Rate: $140/session. A core desire in life is to be fully known and accepted. At the heart of being known is the need for full honesty with ourselves and others in the midst of growth in changing life experiences. Honesty with love and humility leads us into dynamic freedom. Many people hide their realities or internal struggles in shame, fear, and performance.

My approach to therapy

John involves Reality Therapy, Solution Focused, Choice Theory and Cognitive Behavior therapies to empower people to feel heard and seen, then equipping them to flourish and work through next steps.

What you can expect from me

John helps clients unlock and practice this transformative mindset of honesty that then takes crucial steps further - embracing others on that same level of authenticity. This in turn creates new choices that will transform your life.
