John Condron is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with intensive training and experience in Holistic Sex Therapy, Trauma Therapy, and Addiction Counseling. He recently retired from the active practice of counseling after almost forty years in the field.

John started his career as an addiction counselor. He quickly observed that most of his clients had experienced significant childhood trauma. Unfortunately, little was known about trauma in the 1980s, but he learned as he went, eventually identifying as a “trauma therapist.” Over time, he realized that many of his trauma clients had issues around sexuality, so he sought out training in that area and developed a third specialization in sex therapy. 

John earned a master’s degree in Behavior Analysis and Therapy from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale but didn’t stop there. A lifelong learner, he sought out training and supervised experience in a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Critical Incident Stress Management, and Hypnotherapy. He also has extensive experience in mediation and conflict resolution. John is adept at combining and matching various clinical interventions to meet the needs of each individual, couple, and family.

Over four decades, John has worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families ranging in age from 3 to 83. This included people with a wide range of mental illnesses, as well as traumatic brain injuries and developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders. He has also provided clinical supervision to literally hundreds of other clinicians.
