Jonathan Pfuetzner – Therapist in Jacksonville, FL
Hello! I’m Jonathan. Originally from western Canada, I moved here to be closer to family and pursue my education. Now a proud Flagler Beach resident, I’m grateful to enjoy my two favorite hobbies—surfing and golfing—year-round in the beautiful Florida climate.
I believe in the power of professional, evidence-based therapy that is both empathetic and insightful. My approach is grounded in systems-based thinking, which means I see people as part of a bigger picture—shaped by the relationships and environments around them. I believe our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the families, communities, and cultures we’re a part of. By looking at these connections, I help clients identify patterns and find ways to improve communication and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. This approach lets me really focus on what’s unique to each person and work together toward lasting, meaningful change.
I also offer a focus on integrating spiritual competencies into counseling. This means I’m attuned to exploring spiritual themes, dreams, personal purpose, and ultimate meaning alongside proven therapeutic methods.
At the heart of my work is a commitment to you, your health, and your well-being. It would be a privilege to partner with you as you navigate your healing journey and work toward a brighter future.
