Compassionate, Practical Therapy That Works

At Gate Healing Counseling, therapy is a down-to-earth, interactive process—free from judgment and psychobabble. With over 25 years of experience, Jonathan blends mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral tools, and insight-oriented strategies to help you break unhelpful patterns, reduce stress, and build lasting resilience.

Many clients are high-achieving professionals, creatives, students, or parents who are motivated to grow but feel overwhelmed by pressure or perfectionism. Therapy helps turn that drive into balance, clarity, and self-awareness.

Jonathan works with individuals, couples, and teens. He utilizes Gottman Method tools to support relationships, provides trauma-informed care for navigating challenges, and employs a calm, collaborative approach that helps teens and young adults manage stress and communicate more effectively.

If you’re ready to feel better and create real, lasting change, we’re here to help.

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

Fear/anxiety and excitement are nearly identical on a chemical level. What changes is how the brain interprets them. With anxiety, even safe situations can feel threatening. Counseling helps retrain your brain to recognize the difference, so you can respond with clarity instead of fear.

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.
