Jonathan Mozenter

I'm Jon and I remain honored to work the last 19 years as a psychotherapist. My arrival into the profession started with my some helpful healing in my own therapy that demonstrated its value for mental health. I previously worked in the creative arts and work with many from this background. My professional journey has included working in many settings such as community clinics and specialized centers for treating anxiety. I spent many years working in substance use/addiction treatment and specialize in treating individuals with these issues as well as treating the family. I also work often with young adults and teens struggling with anxiety, self-esteem and identity issues; with men on relationship and stress-management issues; and with couples on intimacy issues and parenting issues. I have clients ranging in age from 20 to 75.

Therapy affords the individual an opportunity to engage a range of life's challenges with a curious eye and in a safe and nurturing environment. It affords the couple a place to work on relationship challenges and families to work on communication and boundary breakdowns.

Therapy is a collaborative exercise first and foremost. I generally orient to an integrated mind-body and relationship-focused approach that is creative and nurturing. Mind-body therapy stresses the connection between psychological symptoms and the body through attention to breathing, relaxation, and imaging techniques. Relationship dynamics demand attention so that individuals can resolve conflicts, improve communication and maintain a healthy sense of self. I also utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat a range of anxiety problems, including trauma, focusing on the distinctions between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Addiction or Substance Use treatment employs all of the above approaches and focuses on both underlying needs and supporting behavioral change.

All that being said, you are the expert on yourself and my role is to help others be in the healthy life that aligns with their values and needs

When you come to therapy, you come in as a whole-person and that is how I view you. Not simply through your symptoms and problems, but also through your hopes and dreams. That strengths-based perspective is critical to my process of assessment. Together we identify goals to address immediate problems as well as barriers that exist to meet those goals. The initial treatment plan we create together is ideally a springboard to a process of healing and growing that is sustainable.
