Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m John Poston, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly and work toward positive change. My approach is warm, practical, and tailored to your unique needs.

I help people facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and family issues. With over 10 years of experience in hospitals, treatment centers, and private practice, I focus on meeting you where you are and helping you build the tools and confidence to move forward.

My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and encouragement as you work toward healing and a healthier, more balanced life.

My approach to therapy

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a safe and supportive partnership. My approach is client-centered, which means we focus on your goals and what matters most to you. I combine practical strategies with compassion, helping you build skills to manage challenges like anxiety, depression, substance use, and family stress.

I use evidence-based methods, but I also tailor each session to fit your unique situation. My goal is to meet you where you are, provide a nonjudgmental space, and help you move forward with clarity, resilience, and hope.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, my goal is to get to know you and understand what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your concerns, your goals, and what you hope to get out of counseling. I’ll ask some questions to learn about your background, but you can share at your own pace—there’s no pressure.

We’ll also discuss how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and start creating a plan together. Most importantly, the first session is about building comfort and trust so you feel supported as we move forward.
