Jonathan Aderhold, LMHC

Love brought you together, but over time you have experienced more trouble communicating and understanding each other. You want to support each other but can't find your way. Few things can compare to the importance of your relationship with yourself and your relationship with your romantic partner — which is why we can feel so distressed when we perceive a threat to either.

Reaching out for therapy requires trust - trust that your therapist will provide more than simply a listening ear without being judgmental or harsh. In my work, I provide a balance of warmth/gentleness without sacrificing clarity and directness. 

 

When clients work with me, they benefit from my professional experience.  I've worked in a variety of roles throughout my career and have had the privilege of helping many individuals and families of diverse backgrounds. I've worked as a child and family therapist, an individual adult counselor, and as a couples counselor. My approach to couples therapy is ADHD and neurodiversity informed. 

We will collaborate to identify and understand the barriers and obstacles that are holding you back. Through this process, you will develop the confidence to express yourself authentically, heal past traumas, and rebuild meaningful connections.

 

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, we will explore how your attachment bond and emotions contribute to communication breakdowns. When helpful, I will use Gottman interventions to improve communication. I draw from these models because they are backed by extensive research. I have witnessed their effectiveness with many clients, as well as in my own marriage. My hope is that you too may feel increased security with the person you love most.

My work is highly informed by my training in the following:

  • Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

  • Gottman Method Couples Therapy

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) 

  • Existential therapy

 

My services include:

  • Pre-marital Counseling

  • Couples Counseling

  • Individual Counseling

Jonathan's Full Fee is $185 / 50 minute session (prorated to scheduled session length)
