If you have found yourself here, it likely means that you or someone you care about is in need. I encourage you to follow up on that insight, whether it is with me or another therapist who feels right to you.
My name is John Mittner. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience. I assist clients in adjusting to and dealing with issues surrounding ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.
Change can be scary. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space in which you can explore what's holding you back and begin working toward meaningful change. I strive to be an ally and advocate for people of all orientations, identities, and backgrounds.
