About

Hi there, I'm Jonathan! Hello, My name is Jonathan Kallis (Jon) and my friends know me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed by the state of California. My approach to therapy is to work with you to find the style that will work best for you. I tend to lean towards Cognitive Behavioral but I am eclectic and well versed in other modalities. It would be my privilege to work with you. My approach I will work with you to determine what approach to therapy works best for you based on your style and what brought you to therapy. I tend to lean toward evidence-based theory such as Cognitive Behavioral, or Trauma Informed. My focus I have over 33 years of experience and I have treated many different conditions. Currently, I see a lot of Depression, Anxiety, and OCD as well as others. I also enjoy working with couples. My communication style I tend to be a direct communicator so with me you will never have to guess what is going on. I will do my best to make sure you feel comfortable working towards your goals. My clients tell me I am easy to talk to and they feel heard. I will do my best to create a relaxed environment so you are at ease. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began at the undergraduate level at the University of Kansas when a professor encouraged me to pursue this field. Eventually, by my Senior Year, I became the youngest TA in the Psychology Department. I came to fall in love with doing therapy and helping people. The greatest joy I have is to see people like you get significantly better. My goals for you We will set your therapeutic goals together. I may recommend a few but these goals are what you want to accomplish in therapy. My first session with you You should expect a give-and-take in the first session. I will ask you a lot of screening and diagnostic questions so I can best understand your needs moving forward. There will be time for you to ask questions of me as well.
