Jonathan Kessler

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed School Adjustment Counselor. I am an Associate Professor at a local School of Social Work. I have been providing counseling services for over 35 years. I am a relational therapist, and I use a variety of approaches to help people make positive changes. I work with adolescents, families, individuals, and couples who are dealing with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions of all types (substances and behavioral).

My experience has been extensive: inpatient, community mental health, and maintaining a private practice. I offer ongoing and licensing exam supervision and consultation to other clinical practitioners.

I primarily employ cognitive behavioral techniques and strength-based therapy, but I am also trained in hypnosis, EMDR, DBT, and other alternative therapies.

I believe that you are the expert of your own story and have personal strengths that will assist you in overcoming the challenges that might be driving you to seek counseling. It takes personal courage to ask for help, and my goal in working with you is for you to embrace your power and make the changes you want to enhance your life.
