I'm John Pederson, a licensed counselor helping people navigate anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life transitions — without judgment, without shortcuts, and with genuine care.
Every person is different, and therapy should be too. I offer a range of services designed to meet you where you are.
One-on-one sessions focused on your unique concerns — anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or personal growth — in a safe, confidential space.
Strengthen your relationship through improved communication, conflict resolution, and deeper emotional connection with your partner.
Access therapy from the comfort of your home through secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions — flexible scheduling included.
Navigate complex family dynamics, improve boundaries, and build healthier patterns of relating to the people who matter most.
Career changes, relocation, loss, or new chapters — get support through periods of uncertainty and find your footing again.
Learn practical strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, and reclaiming energy and balance in your daily life.
I became a counselor because I genuinely believe that every person has the capacity for growth and healing — sometimes they just need the right support to get there.
With a Master's degree in Counseling and years of clinical experience, I take an integrative approach that blends evidence-based techniques with the human connection that makes therapy effective. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, navigating a difficult relationship, or simply feeling stuck, I'll work with you to find a path forward that feels authentic and sustainable.

Evidence-Based Care
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. My approach is collaborative, grounded in research, and adapted to what works for you.
Every session starts with understanding your story — your concerns, your goals, and what matters most to you.
I draw from CBT, ACT, EFT, and other proven methods — choosing the right tools for your specific situation.
You're the expert on your life. We set goals together and adjust the plan as you grow and change.
Progress isn't linear, but with consistent effort and the right support, meaningful change is absolutely possible.
Everything you need to know before taking the first step.
Taking the first step is often the hardest part. If you're ready to talk to someone who genuinely cares, I'm here. Reach out today for a free consultation — no pressure, no judgment.
