John Bean is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with expertise in anxiety, depression, relationship issues and boundary setting, codependency, and alcoholic family dynamics. John particularly specializes in helping clients achieve their peak performance, for example, working with students to reach their highest academic potential, salespeople to identify blockages to closing sales, and athletes to address performance anxiety.
John is trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities and techniques including EMDR, a powerful tool to help facilitate reprocessing upsetting memories/events in a way that helps clients get past stuck points in their thinking or memories. John also integrates techniques from many different approaches to create an individualized treatment plan that is specifically tailored for maximal effectiveness.

He works to create an honest and transparent space where clients can increase their self-understanding, address behavioral patterns, and realize positive life changes.

Client testimonials
"John was very easy to speak with."
- Zencare client • September 2020
"I have worked with John Bean for nearly four years, and from the start it has been an incredibly helpful, professional, great experience. His methods are non-aggressive but honestly life changing, particularly in terms of dealing with anxiety and negative thinking. I was skeptical and had never done therapy before, and John was understanding, patient, open, affirming, and just wonderful. My life has changed so much for the better."
