I care deeply for the work and the people I have the privilege to connect with and care for. I especially enjoy working with younger folks and couples. Young people today are surrounded by a lot of complex and unique generational issues including rapid technological development, attentional drains, social isolation, reduced financial opportunities, and political uncertainty. Truly this is a difficult time to be a young person. This is also a difficult time to forge meaningful connections with others. But difficult does not mean impossible.

My ideal client is a person who understands that events in life can be difficult to bear alone. Looking for and acquiring help in life is part of the human experience. I think that motivation to seek help can lead a client to visualize new perspectives on life, unknown to them before the therapeutic alliance begins . I think that as the client enters this experience they will greatly benefit themselves through new insights and horizons that improve their lives, health and relationships

My name is Jonathan Irish and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a wide-ranging amount of professional counseling experience including residential programs for at-risk youth, detention alternate housing for teenagers, community mental health, acute inpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and the outpatient level of care. I grew up in a small town as a pastor's kid and my education after High School has been at Christian institutions of higher education. A Biblical, Christian worldview forms the basis of my life but is not something I include in all my counseling practices.

Many people who appear to excel in various aspects of life still find themselves overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, burnout, or a persistent sense of being stuck. Juggling the demands of work, relationships, and personal growth can leave you feeling unfulfilled, despite your efforts. In therapy, I help individuals navigate these complex emotions, reduce stress, and regain a sense of clarity and purpose.

Counseling is a journey of change and self-discovery and it is not always easy to take that first step.

We will work together as a team to find the best solutions for your situation. I believe in beginning with the strengths you already have and building on those. We will develop coping mechanisms and strategies to help you through what is bringing you to counseling. The journey toward living the life you want begins with you taking the first step.

Client problems come in all shapes and sizes, with all kinds of different life experiences and reasons and needs. Problems are common in the world, and it is hard to shoulder the responsibilities set on our shoulders. It can feel lonely with the burden that people carry, and it seems reasonable to find ways to meet needs that are not being met. Sometimes these can be unhealthy habits that just cause more problems. Sometimes, it leads to a build up of pressure until everything is overwhelming and out of control. It disrupts our Serenity, and building this back up sometimes needs a helper.

My treatment approach is integrative, and following an assessment of the individual needs of my client determines which modalities I utilize.

Ugh!!! Yep, most of us get to this point before we reach out for help. I'm glad you're here and ready to make a change. Major life transitions, even the great ones, can leave us feeling unraveled, and at times can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and other mental heath conditions. I work with those who need support and encouragement as they navigate these difficult times.

My main focus is supporting those who have pornography/sexual additions. My goal is to work together on relapse prevention, identifying physical and emotional triggers, and implementing appropriate coping skills, while rebuilding areas of damage done by the negative behavior. Freedom from the struggle is important, but rebuilding yourself and your life is the goal. I also support those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, ADHD, adjustment disorders, and various other identified issues.

For me, the first and most important thing I can possibly know about you is how you want to feel at the very end of our therapeutic relationship. You might wonder why that is so important to me, and the answer is as simple and complex as this: When you tell me where you want to go, I will invest energy and resources during our time together to make sure that we are moving towards that goal in each and every session. While we address your challenges, I will help you discover your strengths and dig in to find resources that you already have in your life. When you meet your goal, that's when I know I've done my best.

Men's Issues Therapists
Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
