John Condron MS

A Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am well prepared to assist tweens, teens, adults and families to address a wide range of issues, including PTSD, Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Addictions, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder, each of which is often related to past and recent traumatic events.

I am trained in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, most of which fall under the heading of “Cognitive Behavior Therapy.” These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Bilateral Stimulation (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Hypnotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

A Board-Certified Master Addictions Counselor, I can help people with issues with alcohol, nicotine and other drugs, as well as “process addictions” such as gambling, online gaming, sex, pornography, etc. I am not a big believer in the concept of “addiction” as applied to sex or pornography. I prefer to focus on changing those behaviors my clients find problematic, rather than making as to those behaviors’ causes.

I am almost violently nonjudgmental and feel that everyone should be free to live their lives to the fullest, so long as their behavior is fully consensual and not harmful to themselves or others. This includes a strong and committed belief that polyamory, monogamy, and pretty much any other consensual lifestyle is perfectly valid and healthy.

A Holistic Sex Therapist, I integrate an understanding of the range of normal sexual behavior. I find that most sexual issues stem from misunderstandings and lack of information. In fact, even most physicians and therapists know very little about normal human sexuality! I do not assume that one’s “kink” or “poly” lifestyle causes, or is even related to, the problems they experience in life.

I am currently limited to working with people in the great states of Idaho and Utah, but I am seeking licensure in several other states. A Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, I have been doing video counseling for more than three years. Since physical touch is not a part of my practice, I find that there is nothing I cannot do via secure video that I couldn’t do in my office. I would love to talk with you to see how I might be able to help you live your best life.
