Psychotherapy & Counseling Services

"For two personalities to meet is like mixing two different chemical substances: if there is any combination at all, both are transformed." ~ C.G. Jung

Psychotherapy can lead to greater insight, happiness, and satisfaction.

Clients come to me for many reasons: grief, depression, anxiety, life transitions or loneliness and existential angst. I offer depth and eclectic psychotherapies which are psychodynamic in nature, which means they go deep into the roots of our issues, into the soul or unconscious.
 
In therapy we tend the soul together, in our sacred container, the therapeutic relationship to help transform your life. Our therapeutic relationship will orient around your healing and therapeutic goals and will be uniquely tailored to your needs. I take an integrative approach, with a Depth Psychological perspective which means I use all the tools at our disposal, including my other services such as:  Ketamine assisted Psychotherapy, and Intuitive Counseling.
 
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and Intuitive Counseling can become a part of your integrated therapy plan if you desire.
 
Some of the conditions I treat are: Bereavement, Recovery from Child Abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Life Transitions, Recovery from Spiritual Emergencies, and Finding a Spiritual Path in Life.

Seeking Happiness and Spiritual Crisis

Life transitions come in many forms; some forced such as the loss of a loved one and some voluntary when you know there’s a better life waiting and you simply need help and guidance in getting there.

If you’re going through a life transition and finding it rough going or need clarity, I can help!

Client Testimonials

"I have a son with an intellectual disability. Scott Gilliam is the best and knows exactly how to communicate with Jon. I have asked Jon if we could see someone else closer to our home, but it was out of the question because Jon is very comfortable with Scott."

“Scott has been the best therapist I've had. There was a time in which I wished I could see him more than once a week, but as we progressed, a lot of his words of wisdom had stayed with me, and I decided to use those as my guidance to reduce anxiety.”
