John Shovels

“Right from the start I trusted John which is rare for me. He has helped me through so many of my fears. With his help, I can continue to improve myself. I’m super thankful I got placed with John because I was really nervous about therapy from prior bad experiences but desperately needed help and John always makes me feel calmer and more clear headed even when I’m going through rough times but my rough times have gotten a lot less and a lot easier to get through.”

“I would highly recommend John! He is a very good listener, understands what my concerns are and he helps me work through them. He’s so warm and kind and that makes it easier to open up to him.”

“John has been a great resource for me for the past couple of years. He's a great listener and has a lot of great wisdom and analogies to provide in relation.”

“John Shovels is a professional, kind, understanding expert who listens, clarifies, and sets clear goals for improving yourself. Five stars!”

“I have issues with the billing policy.”

“John is great. I've done over 20 sessions with him (and counting). I hadn't tried therapy in over a decade ago because I had a bad initial experience with someone else. John has showed me how helpful therapy can be. We both listen to each other and have mutual respect. Therapy isn't a magic solution of course. But if you do the work, and intentionally communicate well with your therapist, it adds up. Sometimes even just being able to verbalize what I'm struggling with is half the battle. Even when sometimes that's "I'm not sure what to focus on today." But we somehow figure it out. And whatever I share, John actually listens and often can point out patterns or perspectives I had never considered or haven't been paying enough attention to. Thanks John!”

“The best”

“Very compassionate, an active listener and he advocates for you.”

“John is extremely professional and very insightful”

“Helpful and listens, doesn’t appear to be preparing what he plans to say while I’m talking but actually listens. That’s nice. Super flexible scheduling and multiple options. When my Internet hiccuped he messaged and offered to call. Very quick, convenient, and seamless transition with the tech helping rather than getting in the way. Great app. Well thought out and implemented.”
