I’m John Moletress, an LGBTQ+-identified (he/they) therapist, based in Philadelphia (ancestral land of the Lenni-Lenape). In between, I’ve landed in London, Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and Hudson (NY), traveling with my companion, a sweet and rowdy Jack Russell named Naj.

After many years working in higher education, I returned to graduate school to pursue a degree in clinical mental health. I have a Masters of Fine Arts degree in performance and dance from George Washington University, where I taught as a professor before receiving my Masters of Arts degree in clinical mental health counseling from Naropa University. In addition, I hold a Certificate of Ecopsychology from Pacific University and certification in EMDR.

Before moving into private practice in Philadelphia, I was a somatic psychotherapist working with LGBTQ+ youth and adults in Denver, Colorado at a community mental health clinic.

I practice psychotherapy through a mindfulness-based, social justice-oriented, and relational lens. My work is also rooted in activism and anti-racism.
