John KomperdaLCPC

Nice to meet you

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who has also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor(CADC) and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology(MCP). Much of my training has been centered in client-centered theory and I also have specialized training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In addition to being traditionally trained, I also incorporate a holistic, integrated approach toward psychotherapy which includes aspects of mindfulness and Eastern philosophy, providing individual, family and couples therapy as well as intervention work.

Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature, whether it's hiking, biking, or simply taking walks in the park. I'm also passionate about reading, particularly books on personal development and psychology. I love exploring new hobbies, such as cooking and photography, and I find these activities help me stay balanced and creative.
