Compassionate and Effective Therapy for Every Stage of Life

At Gate Healing Counseling, we work with people from all walks of life—parents, professionals, couples, families, and students. Many of our clients are high-achievers who want to succeed without being consumed by pressure.

Reaching out takes courage, and we honor that by offering a collaborative counseling style that is down-to-earth, practical, and rooted in over 25 years of clinical experience, intuition, and compassion. You won’t find judgment or psychobabble here—just genuine conversation and evidence-based strategies designed to create meaningful, lasting change.

Our Counseling & Therapy Approach

Jonathan’s style is conversational and interactive, making therapy approachable while still providing depth and insight. High achievers often appreciate his direct, practical feedback, while others value the supportive and calming environment he provides. His approach blends mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and insight-oriented work to help clients understand patterns, develop healthier coping skills, and build resilience.

For teens and college students, Jonathan creates a space where academic pressure, social challenges, and future planning can be openly explored. High-achieving students often find relief in learning how to manage expectations, reduce anxiety, and stay grounded while still pursuing their goals. Many have reported a particular appreciation for his willingness to help them deal with their parents (and parents enjoy that he can help their kids hear what they are trying to teach them)!

For couples, Jonathan applies research-based Gottman Method strategies to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection. For individuals, his trauma-informed approach creates a safe and grounded space to mindfully explore challenges, process past experiences, and move forward with confidence.

Insight-oriented therapy is a deeper, exploratory approach that focuses on understanding underlying patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape thoughts and behaviors. Because this process takes time, it often lends itself to longer-term work, allowing for meaningful self-discovery and lasting change. While some people find that just a handful of solution-focused counseling sessions address immediate concerns, many choose to continue therapy with Jonathan as their lives evolve. Psychotherapy isn’t just about solving problems—it’s also a space for reflection, growth, and adapting to new challenges. Insight-oriented therapy supports independence by equipping clients with the awareness and tools to handle life’s ups and downs with greater confidence and resilience.

Anxiety Counseling

Performance pressure, racing thoughts, or constant stress—we provide practical tools to help you feel more grounded and in control.

Depression Counseling

When life feels heavy or motivation is hard to find, therapy offers a space to heal, regain energy, and rediscover joy. We have over twenty years of experience successfully treating depression, so don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Crisis & PTSD

In addition to violence or natural disasters, experiences like job loss, relationship challenges, or major transitions can feel overwhelming and trigger traumatic stress. Jonathan’s trauma-informed care helps you process, rebuild, and get back to normal.
