John Carroll

My goal is to arm you with tools to find a more fulfilling way of living; therapeutic tools that follow you out of my office door and into your life. I have learned firsthand how a strong therapeutic relationship can create an opportunity for transformative change. That is why the alliance between therapist and client is of utmost importance to me. By integrating clinical theory, mindfulness, and yes, even humor, I help clients cultivate insight, self-acceptance, healthy boundaries, increased intimacy, and clarity of direction allowing depression, anxiety, and relationship problems to be relieved. My ethos is to interact with both individuals and couples actively and openly to create an atmosphere of safety and self-reflection. While working to alleviate symptoms, I explore, through a social justice lens, the ways an individual’s narrative influences their identity and perceptions of life’s circumstances. I have written articles for The Huffington Post, The Advocate and Queerty.com and interviewed by Them Magazine, Redbook and Playbill.com. I have experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, performing artists, and individuals and couples navigating open relationships, polyamory, and other non-traditional sexual expressions in a sex-positive atmosphere.
