Getting to know John Kowite
I received my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Cleveland State University, a CACREP-accredited program in Ohio, back in 2019 before making the move to Arizona. Over the past six years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction, and dual diagnosis. I also have specialized training in working with couples and neurodivergent clients, which is something I’m especially passionate about.
In my work, I focus on building a strong, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where clients can feel safe, supported, and heard. I draw from a variety of approaches—including mindfulness, DBT, EFT, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapies—and I enjoy incorporating creativity and self-expression into the healing process whenever possible.
Most of my experience has been in private practice settings, working with adolescents, adults, and couples, including those in the LGBTQ+ community. I believe in collaborating closely with clients on their treatment goals, helping them feel better, heal, and move toward meaningful change in their lives.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me playing music (guitar, bass, or piano), out on the trails mountain biking, or appreciating the beauty of the Arizona desert. I’ve lived in California, Ohio, and Arizona, and I truly believe in the healing power of nature, creativity, and connection. I’m here to support you in finding your voice and honoring your unique perspective.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Before we begin, I want to make sure you feel informed and supported every step of the way — including when it comes to insurance. I understand how confusing insurance plans and copays can be, so I aim to be upfront and transparent to avoid any surprises with billing.
I’m in-network with most major health insurance plans and happy to confirm your coverage before you schedule. That said, I’m not in-network with any Medicaid plans — including AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) and Health First Colorado — even if they’re paired with another insurance type. Due to state regulations, I’m unable to see clients with Medicaid coverage.
I genuinely wish I could work with everyone, and I know how disappointing this might feel if it applies to you. If so, I truly encourage you to reach out to your plan for a list of in-network providers who can support your needs.
