John Pinto

I work with individual adults experiencing depression, anxiety and stress, and I have a passion for working with folks in the LGBTQIA2+, kink, and poly communities. I provide gender affirming care and you will always have a safe and brave space in my room! I'm a progressive, secular therapist with acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy backgrounds; but your therapy depends on you. What works for someone else might not do it for you, so we'll work together to personalize your journey to a healthier state of mind.

Asking for help and looking for support are the actions of a brave and strong person, especially when the socially prescribed treatment is "deal with it." You don't need to do it alone. Even if you just need to chat and vent, I'm more than happy to talk video games and cats :)

My style is relaxed and humorous, with some educational bits and exercises when needed.

We'll look at how you think and the things you do, learn about the way your brain works, handle stress, do self-care and self-love, and accept what can't be changed. We can also process your past, set goals for your future, and explore your personal values.
