John Carlson

John Carlson is a compassionate psychotherapist dedicated to serving both men and women adults of all ages, including those from civilian and military backgrounds who are feeling overwhelmed by stress. He believes that psychological challenges often stem from stressful social events that may have occurred in a person's past, present, or even both. John understands that factors such as childhood experiences, prior social learning, current needs and obstacles, challenging family dynamics, and workplace relationships can all contribute to heightened stress levels. As a result, individuals may experience unpleasant emotions, a sense of diminished control, and an intense desire for change and support. John emphasizes effective management of work or life-related stress, addressing trauma from significant life events, loss of loved ones, accidents or military experiences, mid-life crises, and associated emotional difficulties like anxiety and depression. Employing cognitive-behavioral approaches, he equips clients with new coping strategies, emotional control techniques, and improved life skills. His therapeutic approach also incorporates relaxation and behavioral desensitization techniques, including EMDR, alongside other client-centered methods that encourage personal expression in a safe and affirming environment. John Carlson views himself as a catalyst for change, committed to helping individuals discover new paths and possibilities for their lives.
