In these unprecedented times, John Odowd, a licensed counselor with credentials as an MA, LMFT, and LMHC, understands the myriad challenges individuals and communities face. From pandemic threats to social unrest and economic instability, people often feel isolated and disconnected from vital support systems. As a result, many deal with heightened anxiety, irritability, depression, hopelessness, and relational conflicts. John recognizes that addictive and harmful coping behaviors can emerge as individuals struggle to navigate their circumstances, particularly for those with past trauma. He emphasizes that acknowledging these patterns is crucial, and the best first step is to reach out for help. Drawing on his extensive experience as a therapist, John guides individuals in acquiring the skills and resources they need, allowing them to unlock their innate strength and wisdom. His therapeutic approach is informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, expressive arts, and somatic therapies. While therapy can sometimes be a challenging journey, involving self-exploration and discovery, John believes it can also be exciting and transformative. He is dedicated to offering compassionate mental health support and empowering his clients through their healing processes.
