Testimonials
A few years ago I decided that it was time that I went back to therapy because I had went through a break up and felt like I needed to work on me. I had no idea who to go to because the previous counselors I had seen weren't helpful. I asked my friend who she went to and I called him and their office referred me to Nathan. I honestly didn't know what to expect and was a little nervous that I would get someone who didn't know how to help me or treat me like another patient. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to my first session and he made me feel very at ease. He didn't treat me like a patient but like a friend which made it easier to go back. I remember one time going to him and admitted to him that I threw a tantrum in my kitchen expecting him to judge me or tell me what I did was wrong. Instead he told me I was a very passionate person and right then and there something inside my brain clicked and it all made sense. From then on out I looked forward to going to therapy. Nathan has treated me more like a friend than a patient and I will forever be grateful for what he has done for me and how he treated me with dignity.

Nathan Porter has been a great support to our family through some tough times! Not only does he listen carefully, but he genuinely cares about his clients as individuals of value and teaches them how to assess and cope with difficult problems that seem to have no solution. Nathan also is able to reinforce personal spiritual values in facing difficult times and our family would recommend Nathan to anyone needing some guidance! - Melinda
Nathan is simply the best. I don’t trust people in general but I can talk to him and know I am being heard. He is non-judgmental and very empathetic.

Nathan is a fantastic man with a focused approach to wholesome healing. Sessions inspire hope and confidence in yourself and your progress. Nathan has helped me navigate some confusing and hard times, leaving me feeling refreshed session after session. I would highly recommend Nathan as a counselor if you are searching for hope and healing in a positive environment.
From a very young age I suffered from depression, anxiety, abuse, and a lot of self hate. I often struggled with the desire to exist. I hated myself and always felt like I was a burden to everyone. One night, after some rough spells, I decided to ask for help. Luckily I was assigned to the perfect counselor, Nathan Porter. Our very first meeting I immediately broke down in tears to him. I felt safe and comfortable with him. From that day forward Nathan worked with me to help me find, in myself, the strength and confidence I so desperately needed to safe my life. He was always kind, calm, listened carefully, and made sure I felt better by the end of each sessions. I remember how light and happy I felt after each of those sessions. He also introduced me to ketamine therapy which helped me immensely. With his fantastic counseling and the ketamine therapy, I feel like a new person, like the real me. I no longer hate myself. Thank you Nathan, from the bottom of my heart! - Lacey G.
I cannot say enough good things about Nathan. I know that when I visit with him I always leave grateful. Grateful for a listening, non judge-mental ear that helps to reframe and cope with the different issues I have faced and continue to face in my life. Grateful that there are counselors out there like him who can help guide, but not push. He helps you process at your speed. Grateful that I can expect kindness, honesty and empathy. He is flexible with my busy and ever changing schedule. Even if I haven’t seen him for months or years I know I can step in and it feels like no time has passed. Most of all he helps me to be grateful that I can leave with hope and strategies for a brighter future. - Lacey
Nathan is the best counselor I have ever had. He is extremely friendly, kind, honest, and helpful. I am grateful to have found him at a time where I truly needed him. I cannot recommend him enough.
I have recommended Nathan Porter as a counselor many times. I have known him for almost two decades, and he has helped me through a divorce, severe anxiety, and coping with a major job change in the times in life I’ve needed someone to counsel me. He has unique listening abilities as well as a knack for analysis that always resonates with you. He’s able to understand how your life experience makes you feel and how that might affect your perspective of the world. He always makes you feel validated. He knows when it’s time to help you set incremental goals without overwhelming you. He doesn’t pretend problems in your life journey have an overnight fix, but he helps you embrace a joyful learning process that leaves your stronger and wiser when you come out on the other side of your crisis.He also knows when you just need to talk. If you want a therapist that will meet you where you are at, one that can ascertain all mitigating factors of a situation, then provide excellent coping mechanisms and solutions based on your own unique abilities, Nathan Porter is the one I would recommend. - Stephanie
