John Tsilimparis

I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 30 years. I work with clents suffering from anxiety disorders, depression, addiction, grief and loss, relationships and couples. I am author of two books: The Magic in the Tragic (2025) and Retrain Your Anxious Brian (2022). Both are self-help, personal growth books. I am also an adjunct professor at Pepperdine University, UCLA and Antioch University. I present seminars and presentations on various subjects and treatment modalities.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, combined with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for effectively managing conditions like stress, anxiety, phobias and OCD. To complement these structured methods, I incorporate Mindfulness practices to help you cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional grounding. Grounding it all is an Existential lens, which allows us to explore deeper questions of meaning, purpose, and personal agency as you navigate life's transitions.

Acceptance, understanding, compassion and a curiosity to help you the best way I can. Making you feel safe to explore personal experiences is important to me.
