John Kowite

Providing in-person therapy in Arizona

***Please note that per state licensure statutes and licensing regulation bodies, you must select a therapist that is licensed in the state in which you reside. You must also physically be in that state in order to attend telehealth sessions.

Hi, my name is John Kowite and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I received his master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from CAACREP-accredited Cleveland State University, in Ohio in 2019 prior to relocating to Arizona. I have over 6 years of experience supporting clients with anxiety, ADHD, autism, addiction and dual diagnosis, as well as specialized training working with couples and neurodivergent clients. I strive to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere and incorporate mindfulness and creative expression into my work with clients.

I have primarily worked in private practice settings and I utilize mindfulness, DBT, EFT, psychodynamic and person-centered approaches in my work with clients. I believe in the importance of strong therapeutic alliance in a nonjudgmental space, working in collaboration with my clients in developing their treatment plan, feeling better, and achieving their goals of both healing and betterment.

In my free time, I enjoy playing various musical instruments—guitar, bass, piano—and mountain biking. I have lived in California, Ohio and Arizona and I find Arizona’s natural beauty compelling. I believe in the healing power of creativity and self-expression, and the experience of being seen and heard. I strive to help my clients explore and discover their own unique voices, values, and perspectives. I work with adolescents, adults, clients who are neurodivergent or discovering that they are neurodivergent and have a lot of experience working with LGBTQ+ couples.
