Getting to know John Watts

Welcome to my virtual office. I am currently offering TeleHealth sessions. I am a LCSW, licensed psychotherapist with 25 years experience, and 15 years social services/ministries outreach, providing individual and family therapy by utilizing a strengths-based, collaborative, holistic approach, allowing me to gain a clearer sense of my clients' Physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs, and finding viable, alternative solutions to reach a more balanced and optimal level of coping/functioning. I endeavor to conduct psychotherapy with individuals who are challenged with a crisis, substance abuse/addictions, Porn/sexual addictions, dual diagnosis, and related codependency issues; relationships, depression, grief and loss, PTSD and anxiety-related issues, adjustment/transitional, career/vocational; Additionally, I offer Premarital counseling to establish a firm foundation for marriage; because "after every wedding comes a marriage." I utilize a holistic approach for crisis counseling, as well as evidenced-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing/coaching, which facilitates my clients' ability to cope/function better with negative and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. I firmly believe in providing a collaborative and supportive environment to maximize the therapeutic experience and identify what strengths and resources clients have to create meaningful change in their lives. For those who desire a Christian, Biblical approach, I also offer a faith-based perspective combined with psychological/systems theory I received my masters degree from Florida International University, and my B.A degree in psychology/pastoral/Biblical counseling from Southeastern College. I am a member of Phi Alpha and Alpha Chi honors societies respectively.
