Getting to know John Wilks-Young Jr

Hi there, I'm John! Welcome! I’m a licensed mental health counselor and executive director with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most complex challenges. At my practice, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, LGBTQIA+ support, and sex therapy, blending clinical expertise with a personalized, nonjudgmental approach to help you thrive. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you can heal, grow, and embrace your authentic self. My approach My approach to treatment is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I combine evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy—with a compassionate, client-centered style. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, creating a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Together, we’ll set clear goals, build practical coping skills, and address underlying patterns so you can make lasting changes. You can expect open communication, respect for your values and identity, and a focus on empowering you to move forward with confidence and clarity. My focus My ideal clients are individuals and couples who are ready to face life’s challenges head-on—whether that means navigating anxiety or depression, healing from trauma, exploring gender or sexual identity, rebuilding trust in relationships, or breaking free from patterns that no longer serve them. I especially welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community, survivors of abuse, and those seeking support with intimacy, self-worth, or life transitions. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself or others, I offer a safe, affirming space to be heard, understood, and supported. Through a blend of proven therapeutic techniques and compassionate guidance, I help you gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful changes.
