My name is John Coleman Jr. I am a native of Statesboro, GA that moved to North Carolina in 2002. I played football while receiving my bachelor’s degree from Shaw University in Raleigh, NC. That’s where I met my beautiful wife. I am a man of God, husband, father, son and friend. I have 4 kids, 3 daughters, and 1 son. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and drag racing. I started working in the mental health field in my sophomore year in college (2003) with adults and children. My love and passion for others motivated me to get my masters in licensed professional counseling at Grand Canyon University.

Adjusting to change can be challenging, especially when transitioning through different phases of life. Whether it's a child coping with behavioral issues, a teenager exploring their identity, or an adult facing the complexities of life, such as finding a safe space is crucial for personal growth. Embracing discomfort is key to growth, so if you're prepared to evolve, let's embrace the discomfort together. "Life is not what it is supposed to be, it is what it is; it's how we navigate it that makes a difference."

Interpersonal Therapists
Is interpersonal therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found interpersonal therapy to be effective for life transitions including retirement, divorce, and job loss. Also, some studies have found it to be just as useful as medication and other therapy approaches. The benefits of interpersonal therapy can last long after treatment has been completed; the individual can use the tenets of this therapy throughout their life.
How long does interpersonal therapy take?
Interpersonal psychotherapy is normally time-limited and focuses on specific problems in the client’s everyday relationships. Treatment can be either one-on-one or take place in a group setting; it tends to last 12 to 16 weeks, depending on the individual client’s needs. If a new interpersonal problem arises in the future, the client may require additional therapy to address it specifically. The timeline and session schedule may vary depending on the client’s challenges as well as their progress. Treatment may conclude with wrap-up sessions to review the client’s accomplishments.
Is interpersonal therapy effective?
Research shows that interpersonal therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression or anxiety. The approach may also offer a range of benefits that are hard to measure but valuable—including healthier relationships and improved feelings of self-worth. The therapist will give the client practical solutions that can be put into practice. The brief duration of this therapy also means that clients can see changes in their relationships fairly quickly.
What are the limitations of interpersonal therapy?
Interpersonal therapy may not effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as psychosis, chronic illness, or alcohol relapse. Because it is short-term in nature, it may not be the best approach for conditions that need to be tracked, though maintenance sessions are a viable approach under these circumstances.
Can interpersonal psychotherapy be done online?
Yes, interpersonal psychotherapy can be conducted effectively either in-person or online. A therapist with expertise in IPT will be able to adjust their techniques, such as role-playing, to better suit the online environment. Offering online IPT can make it more accessible for clients who have transportation difficulties; it also provides the ideal opportunity to explore challenges unique to digital relationships.
