Getting to know John L. Driessnack
Greetings, my name is John Luke. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Mental Health Social Work from Bryn Mawr College. I specialize in helping people effectively manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns using cognitive behavioral techniques. I have worked with a range of populations of nearly all ages and also have experience with addiction treatment and life coaching. I work with people to develop insight into the source of their problems, how their core beliefs about the world might be hindering their progress, and focus on their natural strengths to overcome those barriers with practical skills that generate sustainable change. Some of my other specialties include short-term, solution-focused therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy techniques; psychodynamic approaches; and marital counseling.
Some of the problems I am particularly keen on solving with my clients include issues with self-image and confidence; dating and relationships; boundary-setting and assertive communication; general anxiety management; and learning to identify and productively resolve emotional unrest. I am also very experienced in cognitive restructuring, which is just a fancy way of saying helping to change the way a person thinks about the world and their place in it. I also enjoy aiding people in goal setting and identification, meaning-making, and navigating family conflicts. If you feel any of this could be helpful or useful to you, please do not hesitate to reach out!
(Note: I do work with couples, but only on a cash-pay basis. Also, I only work with ages 18+)

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

No BS therapist. Challenges you, calls you out when you need it. Insightful and perceptive to picking up on underlying issues.
Works through issues efficiently and doesn't try to string you along for months with maintenance sessions.
Style and Demanor is not for snowflakes - if you want to someone to placate you, go to someone else. But if you want results he's the guy.
And he's named after Captain Picard - what more could you want.

John is hands down the best therapist I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly smart and attentive. I feel as though I needed a therapist who would be there to tell me the blunt truth. John heard me out and offers me advice that is relatable and reliable. There isn’t another therapist that I would go to if given the choice.
