About

Hi, I'm John Pederson

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.

My Approach

Therapy that fits how you actually live

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. My approach is collaborative, grounded in research, and adapted to what works for you.

01

Listen First

Every session starts with understanding your story — your concerns, your goals, and what matters most to you.

02

Evidence-Based

I draw from CBT, ACT, EFT, and other proven methods — choosing the right tools for your specific situation.

03

Collaborative

You're the expert on your life. We set goals together and adjust the plan as you grow and change.

04

Real Results

Progress isn't linear, but with consistent effort and the right support, meaningful change is absolutely possible.
