I’m so grateful for the time I spent learning under Jon’s supervision

August 9, 2025

I’m so grateful for the time I spent learning under Jon’s supervision. He created a safe and supportive environment where I felt encouraged to grow, take on challenges, and develop my own clinical style. His feedback was always thoughtful, and his compassion for clients is inspiring. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better mentor, and the skills and confidence I gained from him will stay with me throughout my career.

I had the opportunity to work with Jon on my first clinical rotation for psychotherapy. Being that I work a full time job and raising an energetic 1 year old, I was so happy to find a preceptorship that fitted my busy life. Jon was always willing to answer any questions and he responded to emails in a timely manner. I definitely recommend him.
