Jack's approach to Counseling blends the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy with the depth and scope of more traditional, insight oriented, psychodynamics.

At the same time, Jack can help clients understand why they behave the way they do, offering insight as to how to stop harmful cyclical behavior.
