Paddock John R PHD

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and psychoanalyst with over 40 years of experience, offering specialized services for adults through psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and psychological assessment. My practice integrates two empirically validated frameworks: Lorna Smith Benjamin's Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy and James P. McCullough's Cognitive Behavioral Analysis Systems Psychotherapy (CBASP). These approaches help patients understand how their learned patterns of relating to the world may no longer serve them effectively. I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges in early adulthood and mid-life professionals seeking meaningful life changes.

My collaborative, relational approach emphasizes evidence-based methods, focusing on helping patients answer 'The Prime Directive'why they experience specific problems in relationships and how to achieve greater effectiveness and satisfaction. I utilize tools like The Birkman Method to assess relational functioning and tailor treatment plans to each client's unique needs. My practice offers both in-person and telehealth sessions across multiple states, prioritizing accessibility and continuity of care. I hold board certification in clinical psychology and maintain licenses in five jurisdictions, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards.
