John Kravitz,

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“Therapy available In Office and by Zoom. Most people initially find therapy uncomfortable but it quickly becomes the one time in your week where you are seen and heard without judgement. Therapy means you don't have to go it alone. Change happens. Call me today or visit my website for more information to get started.”

About Me

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, but I provide a space where you are truly seen and heard. For individuals, couples, or families facing challenges, I offer a steady, non-judgmental presence. We will work together to explore your concerns, ensuring you never have to face them alone. This collaborative approach helps translate discomfort into clarity, building a pathway towards meaningful change. Sessions are available in office or by Zoom.

Approach

When therapy first feels uncomfortable, I help it become the one weekly space where you can pause and be fully noticed—steady, calm, and practical. I see adults, couples and older adults in Walnut Creek and by Zoom, in English, and I match pace to what you can manage. Sessions move between focused conversation, short mindfulness practices, and practical tasks or brief hypnotic exercises when useful, with simple steps to try between meetings. People facing addiction, relationship strain, or big life transitions often find this steady, practical rhythm helpful.
