Guy Counseling and Life Coaching Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

I had been struggling with significant levels of anxiety and stress for several months, so I set out on a search to find professional guidance and support. After giving it a shot with a few therapists, I was starting to lose hope rather quickly. It started to feel like the right therapist for me wasn’t out there. I began asking people in my social circle for recommendations, and a friend/colleague recommended Dr. John. This actually wasn’t the first or only time his name came up as a recommendation, so I decided to reach out. Making that first appointment with Dr. John was probably the best decision I ever could have made. From the beginning, he made me feel understood and heard, and approached each of our sessions with a warm and welcoming presence that allowed me to immediately start feeling like I was making steps toward a more positive and healthier outlook of my day to day routine.

Dr. John’s expertise is second to none! I needed coping strategies to address the immense amount of stress and anxiety I was experiencing. Driven by his passion for the people he works with, he was able to help me implement specific and effective ways to improve my overall energy levels, and my social/emotional battery skyrocketed. As a male, I wasn’t overly confident I’d have success with a male therapist that would be able to relate to some of the issues I was wrestling with. Dr. John was incredibly helpful in working with me to develop stress management techniques that were geared to work for me personally, and allowed me to feel bought-in to the process. I strongly believe that it is crucial for people who struggle with anxiety and stress to establish realistic and effective techniques that can be used regularly to improve their quality of life. It has been so refreshing to feel passion and enthusiasm for the social activities and commitments in my life again! I can say with confidence that you will not find any other therapist out there that can help you achieve the results you will get with Dr. John!

I needed a hypnotherapist to help me with self-esteem and confidence building. The truth is my career was going nowhere and I couldn’t get motivated to take the necessary steps for change.

After meeting with John a few times to work through some anxiety issues, we started hypnotherapy. After just a few sessions, I started to notice I felt better about myself. Like mentally stronger, if that makes sense.

I’d go back to him again for sure. Really nice guy. Super intuitive in a mysterious kind of way.

I’m a professional athlete who needed a sports psychologist to help me because I had lost my confidence. After working with John for about six months, I’m a completely different person.

He spent time getting to know my background and helping me understand my fears. Together we made a plan of action through something he called CBT. This was reinforced through hypnosis. I also got some really useful homework assignments. Now, I’m back to where I used to be and even excited for the future.

This is a very encouraging and caring healer. You’ll learn a lot about yourself with him. Best therapist I could have ever worked with.

It took me awhile to admit that I needed some help with my anxiety and stress. I just wasn't able to get anything done at work and it was leaking into every aspect of my life, personal life, my marriage, everything. So I got online and looked for a counselor in the Chicago area where I was working on a project.

Dr. John Moore didn't fit my image of a hypnotherapist. I was expecting some stuck-up, sweater-wearing shrink who was gonna ask me to open up about my feelings. Dr. John treated me like a friend and took the time to find out everything about my anxiety and stress. We talked about workouts actually and exercise stuff for about 20 minutes. He wasn't in a rush to get to it, but when I felt comfortable enough, I was able to trust him.

John used hypnosis to help me pinpoint the sources of my anxiety. It was like a lightbulb went off inside my head, once I could see that my depression and anxiety were all about the fears I was having about being able to keep my job. He didn't just point out the problem either. We worked in a follow-up session and I learned ways that I could combat the anxiety - like exercising more and using autogenics. I'd recommend John to anyone who is struggling with internal issues getting in the way of their full potential and happiness, especially guys because he is very easy to talk to and he truly cared about helping me with my problems.

Thanks, Doc.

Anxiety had really started to take over my life and so had stress. I was referred to John from a friend who thought it might be a good idea to talk to someone. He shared with me so many new skills, like learning how to meditation and how relaxation hypnotherapy works. Extremely helpful to me, particularly since changing jobs. I feel I have the tools now to move forward and not live in so much fear.

I was looking for a sports psychologist for some coaching and hypnosis around mental blocks I was having because of anxiety. That's when I heard about John from a friend. We worked together for around six sessions to help me overcome my blocks. He gave me the tools I needed to step up my mental game and achieve goals. I loved some of the exercises, like the circle of confidence and projecting success. Excellent counselor and hypnotherapist!

When I first started seeing John, I was a little lost. I was a college student dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety. Plus, because I am gay, I also struggled with a bunch of family issues because I was dating someone.

John took his time with me and listened to my problems. More important, he helped me to find real solutions. I even became motivated to join a gym so that I had a healthy way to get rid of my stress.

I think the best part was when he helped me to buckle down so that I wouldn't flunk out of college. Sometimes, we all need a little coaching, you know?

I've since finished therapy and have come out to most of my family. They have been very supportive. But as I learned, it is a process.

If you are a college student who needs a therapist or just a guy who needs career counseling, you are in really good hands John!

I was looking for a male therapist that worked with issues around confidence and self-esteem. When I heard about John through a buddy, I decided to give him a call. I am so glad that I did because he really helped me to change my life.

In therapy, we explored some of my thinking patterns and how they were holding me back. While I still have some work to do, I know I’ve made a lot of progress.

One of John’s strengths is his ability connect with people on a psychological and spiritual level. I feel a lot of the self-doubt I once carried is gone. I’m still on my journey but I’m confident now that I’m heading in the right direction.
