Getting to know John Tomlinson

Hi there, I'm John! I’m a husband, father, and disabled Air Force veteran who loves working out and gaming. As a trauma-informed therapist with experience in hospice, mobile crisis, and telehealth, I provide a judgment-free zone for our sessions. I’m dedicated to supporting your unique journey with empathy and understanding to help you achieve your best you. My focus Whether you're feeling constantly on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or simply stuck, therapy can help you understand what's happening, regain a sense of control, and begin moving forward with purpose. Together, we can help you regain yourself and achieve your goals. My approach I believe therapy is a partnership that starts with warm, exploratory listening to ensure you feel truly heard and understood. My goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore your past and the practical skills to feel more grounded going forward. My communication style Therapy is conducted in a judgment-free zone, where you can explore your experiences safely and openly. My journey to mental healthcare The moment I knew I wanted to be a therapist was when I was rediscovering my own identity a couple years after separating the military. It was difficult for me at the time and I knew I had to help those who are also struggling in life to find peace. My goals for you I provide direct, collaborative therapy for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, substance use, and high-stress life experiences. Using CPT, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches, we’ll address what keeps you stuck while respecting your unique background, values, and goals. Our first session Working with me feels like a balance of deep insight and practical action. I spend a lot of time listening to your story, but I won’t leave you without a map. We’ll use a warm, exploratory approach to understand the roots of your stress, paired with the structured tools that give you a clear path forward.
