Jonathan Woodard, M.S., AMFT #94785, APPC #3081

Supervised by Dr. Melissa Tihin, PsyD. LMFT#86602


“It’s okay if you thought you were over it, but it hits you all over again. It’s okay to fall apart even if you thought you had it under control. You’re not weak. Healing is messy and there is no timeline for healing.”
-Unknown Author

I pride myself on providing competent and compassionate services to individuals and families that I work with. I am passionate about working with children, adults, and families to enhance relationships and offer guidance in navigating life’s obstacles. Through a collaborative process of developing mutual trust and respect, I believe that hope can be restored and each individual has the ability to reach their infinite potential. I specialize in working with substance abuse, trauma, self-esteem, negative thinking, life stressors, conflicts with interpersonal relationships, difficulty with communication, feelings of sadness and worry, grief, and abuse.
