Getting to know Johnathan Mehrtens
Do you find yourself struggling to get through the day? Having difficulty enjoying life or coping with overwhelming circumstances? Even just trying to grow personally or meet a certain goal? We all go through times when we need some extra support—that is where therapy comes in!
Hi, my name is Johnathan, and I am here to help! I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor in Illinois and have been providing therapy for over 7 years. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Lindenwood University, with an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a minor in Sociology.
My primary specialties include:
- Trauma, including PTSD and C-PTSD
- Major Depression
- Generalized Anxiety, Panic Attacks, and Social Anxiety
- ADHD
I also have experience and interest in:
- Bipolar Disorders
- Life Transitions
- Relationship Concerns
- Grief
- Career Counseling
- LGBTQ Populations
I believe in a collaborative approach. You are the expert on your life, and my role is to support you in the change you desire, providing guidance as needed. Healing from stress and trauma requires not only talking about what happened but also changing our thinking, how our bodies respond, and becoming more present. Therefore, I often engage clients in cognitive and mindfulness strategies during sessions. Above all, I strive to provide a safe space where you can talk openly, process, identify your hidden strengths, and heal. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward the life you want!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect to leave a session feeling heard, understood, and validated. I also like to leave clients with some helpful information to think about over the next week, or a small goal to work on before our next appointment. Small bits of knowledge and weekly goals add up to big changes over time!
With time, clients are often amazed and proud at how far they've come, even when they felt completely stuck at our first meeting. I often remind clients that they're the ones doing the hard work during and outside of sessions, and they deserve credit for their positive growth.
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.
