John A. Atkin, LCSW

Licensed Therapist

We come to therapy for many reasons. It may be because of discomfort due to our mood, conflict, sadness, loneliness, a past event, the future, our children or partner.

I use many different treatment approaches which I tailor to your needs. Most importantly, I want to provide a safe space so you can feel heard and supported. Therapy is a journey where you are in charge. I may make suggestions as to possible directions to help you get to where you want to go. We look at the past only if it is impacting the present and future.

Where I come from

I have been a therapist, administrator, teacher and supervisor. In my last position, I was on the faculty of a Family Practice Residency Program. I taught doctors about mental health, supervised graduate social work students, and saw counseling patients.

Working with you

Our first meeting will be to hear your story and clarify what you wish to accomplish.
