About
Whatever concerns are bringing you to therapy, my aim is to help you to know yourself better and to live a fuller life.
My name is John DeHart, and I am a licensed psychologist with 14 years of experience. I work primarily with adults, college students, millennials, individuals who identify as neurodivergent or creative, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I often help clients navigate life transitions, attachment and relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and concerns related to sexuality. While I adapt my approach to meet each person’s needs, my training is rooted in psychodynamic theory. I believe in a holistic and depth-oriented approach to therapy, one that explores the underlying causes of symptoms to create lasting change.
I earned my doctorate from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia and have trained at several colleges and community mental health agencies. My experience spans both rural and urban settings, which has given me perspective on the unique challenges people face in different environments. As a gay man living with chronic health issues, I am particularly sensitive to matters related to sexuality, diversity, and health, and I strive to bring that awareness into my work with every client.
I understand that connecting with a new provider can feel intimidating. My goal is to create a laid-back, safe, and supportive environment where you can confront challenges openly and begin making meaningful, sustainable changes in your life. I look forward to connecting with you and invite you to reach out to schedule an appointment when you feel ready.

When working with individuals who are seeking counseling for depression, I help them to feel empowered and to recognize that depression is both a physical and mental health condition. Being able to help them break any negative thoughts about themselves, self-blaming, and other negative coping mechanisms is often helpful—depression is not a personal flaw. My focus is to help them feel in control, while also giving them strategies to improve, both emotionally and physically.
The tools that I typically utilize in counseling with individuals who are seeking treatment for depression are:Cognitive behavioral (CBT) strategies, Cognitive reframing, Mindfulness, as well as client-centered approaches. My focus for individuals dealing with depression is to help them understand that they can play a significant role in helping to relieve symptoms, by using their new tools to help feel empowered.
When a client is in counseling to address depression, meaningful progress is often observed by their reports of a reduction in the intensity and frequency of depressing thoughts. For many clients, this is most obvious when they begin reintroducing activities they previously enjoyed into their lives.Other positive signs of progress include a client seeking a stronger connection with others or places that had previously brought them happiness. They may also note an increase in energy and motivation in their daily lives, as well.
Clients who are in therapy to address depression can supplement their time in counseling by:
When someone is starting therapy to address depression, I suggest they identify how depression is playing a role in their lives, and what they would hope to achieve out of therapy.

Millions of people around the world suffer from a mental illness each year. In fact, the two most common mental illnesses, especially in the United States, are anxiety and depression. These two conditions often go hand in hand as they have overlapping signs and symptoms. With anxiety and depression being so common amongst the population,
Anxiety and depression are serious mental illnesses that can benefit most from working with a trusted, dedicated mental health professional. At Thriveworks Counseling in Nottingham, our depression and anxiety therapists are readily available and ready to help you as soon as this week. Managing difficult emotions can be extremely hard and overwhelming. Luckily, you don’t have to do it alone. Give us a call and let’s start this journey of healing together.
Like described earlier, anxiety and depression are often unfortunate friends. You may have anxiety after a traumatic experience and later develop depression because of it. Or, you could be battling depression and develop anxiety when other areas of your life start falling behind. Regardless, it’s important to understand the difference between the two so you can recognize the feelings you have.
Depression can cause feelings of despair, emptiness, hopelessness, insomnia/hypersomnia, and lack of interest in activities and relationships that once brought you joy.
Anxiety can cause you to feel excessive worry, restlessness, shortness of breath, changes in sleeping patterns, and changes in appetite.
While those aren’t all of the symptoms, they are common. There are also different types of anxiety and depression, and your Thriveworks counselor in White Marsh can help you figure out what you may be specifically battling. Identifying this ensures the correct plan of treatment is taken.
As briefly touched on, your Thriveworks Counseling therapist in Nottingham can help you identify root causes, manage difficult emotions, and overcome these mental health conditions. To do so, they will first sit down with you to understand what your challenges are and what you want to accomplish through therapy. Then, based on your discussion, they will craft a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. During therapy, they will offer you the tools and techniques that you can use to overcome the things holding you back.
If you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, it’s important that you talk to a professional. They can screen your symptoms and offer an accurate diagnosis. Our goal is to help guide and support you through these concerns and be a partner in your success.
