Integrative Psychological & Assessment Services

John Carswell, LMFT

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (CA, Lic# 47824)


  What we get from others is information, how we interpret our experience with others is what gives it meaning. Happiness and fulfillment depend on the quality of our experiences in our lives.

Are you surrounded by others who care and support you but yet something is still missing in your life, or have you suffered from past hurts that prevents you from leading the life you once desired?

I work with clients who consider themselves surrounded by caring and supportive people yet still feel unsatisfied and disconnected.   


I also have clients who suffer from harmful destructive relationships whose results are basically the same—unhappy and disillusioned. If this disconnect persists it can lead to greater problems such as depression, anxiety, codependence, phobias, obsessions and the dependence on drugs or alcohol.

 As your therapist, we will work in the present and look honestly at both what you want and what you are doing to get what you want. The focus will be on internal motivations instead of the problems that brought you to therapy. Opportunities will be explored and offered so you can make empowering choices and changes that can be achieved in spite of the circumstances. The process will lead to new strategies that will inspire hope and build confidence in yourself, putting you back on the path of reclaiming happiness and fulfillment in your life.
