Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a therapist, my mission is to help individuals uncover the path to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am passionate about working with motivated individuals who are ready to explore and embrace the changes they need to thrive. My approach is client centered and collaborative, creating a safe and supportive space where clients can identify their unique needs and work towards their personal goals. In my practice, I have supported clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration. I integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as apply a psychodynamic approach, partnering with my clients to understand their experiences deeply, actively listening, and challenging negative thought patterns when necessary. I empower clients to remove roadblocks to unlock their full potential. I am committed to walking alongside my clients on their journey, offering guidance, understanding, and strategies to help them create the lives they envision based on careful exploration of who they are and their goals for treatment. I offer counseling services in Spanish, recognizing the importance of accessible care for diverse communities

03 · What happens next
Jonathan practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Jonathan's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Jonathan at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Jonathan is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Jonathan.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Jonathan actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Jonathan's - Jonathan has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.
“You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”
People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance
Jonathan's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Jonathan. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
