Professional statement

Jonathan Labman is a Licensed Professional Counselor in eastern Pennsylvania practicing for 25 years. His clientele is an eclectic group of people who are interested in understanding what happened to them, how they adapted, and why the adaptions no longer serve you. Jonathan helps people understand how to work with their own thoughts and feelings, to separate real-life pain from unnecessary suffering and live an integrated and life. He also helps people to be curious about, and explore their own uniqueness. What makes them different from others? He helps people use their uniqueness to create a fulfilling life.

Jonathan will work with you on all aspects of human life: physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual. In other words, Jonathan will help you to learn how to be an effective human being. For those interested, this can include an exploration of your innate spirituality.

Clients are from all walks of life, ages 21 to 90. Clients are committed to regular weekly or bi-weekly work and know that "showing up" regularly is part of the commitment to changing the painful things that don't work for them, into pleasurable things that do work. Jonathan is committed to your growth; if you work with him, you must be committed to yourself too.

Jonathan knows how to work with your pain and suffering with deep spiritual and psychological understanding. He applies 55 years of personal and professional exploration to create very interactive sessions for you. He will help reduce what seem like 'complex issues' to the very simple habit patterns (of thought, action, feeling, spirituality, and creativity) that are actually in your way, so they can be dissolved and you can discover your uniqueness.

You can meet Jonathan in his consulting office in Holicong, Pennsylvania (near Doylestown) and/or by Zoom videoconference technology.


Message to clients

You're unaware of how to live a full actualized human life, and you need to learn the skills not taught in school: how to discern if your own thoughts are true and how to name your emotions and track their sources. Reality-based emotions are energy in motion; they will move you towards positive change.

There is real pain in human life, but there is also unnecessary suffering. Learn to tell the difference! You can actually find out how to make the changes that will empower you to be your own fully unique expression, a "kaleidoscope of color crystals" that only you possess.

We will do a lot of dialog in sessions and I will frequently give you practical suggestions to integrate what you're learning into your actual life. Effective work towards healing and self-actualization includes you gaining insights AND putting them into practice. Most importantly, I look at what's happened to you, not what's wrong with you, and how that's preventing you from recognizing your talents and abilities. Together we can uncover the positive attributes of love, contentment, freedom and peace that you already have, and then help you create simplicity, harmony, and clarity in your life. All of those positive qualities are inherent to your nature as a human being. You'll discover you're not just a "ball of stress."

Client testimonials

"Jonathan was very kind, warm, and professional. I usually am very shy and uncomfortable with first calls and don’t always know what to say, but he lead the call with patience and care to the questions asked and the answers I gave. I definitely would recommend working with him! :)"
