Ian Porter

It takes courage to acknowledge that you are struggling, and further courage to reach out and seek help for life issues. So I hope you share if you’re dealing with a challenging life transition, struggling with anxiety, or finding it difficult to cope after a crisis, you don’t have to face these struggles alone. This is a space where you can process hurts, work through hang-ups, and reconnect with what matters to you.

In sessions with me, you will learn tools and strategies to manage stress, improve your mood, develop healthy coping strategies, and gain a sense of control over your emotions and actions. To accomplish this I use a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy approach. This is an evidence-based model that helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors contributing to emotional distress. I have a passion for helping individuals, families, or couples work through things like addictions, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in order to have a fulfilling life. The goal is to help you move from feeling overwhelmed and stuck to feeling empowered and confident in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

If you are even considering counseling, please reach out. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and it would be my honor to help you work through life’s challenges and head toward making positive changes in your life.
