Telehealth Therapists

Angela Barnhurst

Jonathan West-Gray, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Jonathan, and I am a mental health therapist who specializes in the treatment of religious trauma and religious abuse. Originally from California, I have a great appreciation for cultural diversity. With a background in sociology, I utilize minority stress theory, and endeavor to help clients examine their places in larger systems.

In my free time I enjoy practicing the violin, piano, and other instruments. My own identity has been greatly shaped through the arts, as I am a composer, producer, and artist. I enjoy landscape design and gardening, as well as spending time with my partner and our large family of animals.

Jonathan's Approach

I like to tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual, based on their preferences, and how their brains respond to different types of therapy. Typically I like to start out by building a solid foundation using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and incorporate other theories and modalities, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal-Informed Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Art Therapy and Receptive Music Therapy for those clients whose identities have also been shaped by the arts.

Treating religious trauma and helping individuals deconstruct internalized messages and negative core beliefs has been a passion of mine.
