Jonathan Wagner, MA, LPC

Life is so full at times it can overwhelm. My passion is to let you know that you are heard and create a relationship of trust. I believe that when you are heard this informs your whole being; opening your internal potential for transformation. Relationship creates light upon each persons path. Honesty, sincerity, and vulnerability; these inform and guide by allowing healing to occur and creating resiliency for change.

My background began with my own personal traumas and then working in hospital based chronic mental health; This experience led to Integrative theories and therapies(Mind-Body) focused on stress management and how emotional/physical trauma can affect the body. Over the past 10 years I have returned to private clinic setting and now Tele-Therapy since 2019. Currently I am working online with ages 16 and older. And must warn you that my dog may sometimes inadvertently interrupt or attend some therapy sessions.

I use a Person-Centered, Psychodynamic approach to therapy while also utilizing Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral/Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus and Existential Therapy techniques. When needed, (though I am not a medication provider) I work with your med provider to help monitor your response and the efficacy of your medication
