My name is John Murphy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been practicing for twenty-six years. I am a dedicated mental health therapist who welcomes the opportunity to help you reduce emotional discomfort and live a happier life.
My approach
My approach is to create a partnership where we work together to solve problems, discover solutions, and experience peace. My goal is to support you in having a better understanding of your inner world, to gain perspective about who you are in relationships, and to increase overall health. I use many different approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Grief Counseling.
My focus
I treat adults who are distressed from anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, relationship conflicts, addictions, and life transitions.
My communication style
I am calm, mild-mannered, nonjudgmental, empowerment-focused, and driven by helping you. Most say they feel calm and comforted by my communication style. I am also directive and I value creating a collaboration where communication is fruitful.
My journey to mental healthcare
I see life as a continual learning process where we gradually awaken to the truth of self over time. I was interested in therapy at an early age. I see therapy as an important mechanism for self-exploration, a way to have more loving relationships, and greater overall happiness.
My goals for you
I am a person-centered therapist who believes it is crucial to work on goals that come from you. I will make every effort to help you bring into focus the life you want for yourself and help you achieve that vision through goal setting.
My first session with you
Our first session together is an important step in our journey. This includes relationship building, a thorough assessment, and goal setting. This is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for me to have a clear understanding of your past and where you would like to be going in the future.
