Posted on May 18, 2026, updated on May 19, 2026 by John Hawkins Jr., M.S., L.M.H.C., M.C.A.P.

Some of the most painful sessions I have ever sat in were not with people whose relationships were ending because of betrayal, incompatibility, or a loss of love. They were with couples who genuinely loved each other and were watching anxiety slowly take the relationship apart anyway. This is one of the most underrecognized dynamics… Read More

Lonely in a Crowd — Why Loneliness Has Nothing to Do With Being Alone

Posted on April 20, 2026, updated on May 8, 2026 by John Hawkins Jr., M.S., L.M.H.C., M.C.A.P.

Some of the loneliest people I have ever worked with were not single. They were not isolated. They were surrounded by spouses, by families, by full social calendars and busy lives. And they were profoundly, achingly lonely in a way they could barely articulate because it made no logical sense to them. If you have… Read More

I have sat with hundreds of individuals over the years who already knew the answer before they ever walked into my office. They knew the relationship was wrong.

Bissan is amazing! She has really been a blessing to not only myself but my son as well. She’s so easy to talk to and makes you feel seen. She is truly helping with my self growth.

Meeting with Bissan wasn’t my idea to be honest, but I’m extremely glad and grateful to have been shown her by my parents. I’d be lying if I said I think therapy is fake and that this didn’t help. Cause it did and overall i am extremely grateful that I began talking to her, my life flipped in a good way. I began going out more, I grew confidence in stuff and overall just all of the dread I had for awhile kind of just vanished slowly as I kept seeing her. This is the most effective counseling i’ve ever been to, and this isn’t my first. She truly helps.

Meeting Dr Bissan was a blessing to my life! And it was so random, I was looking for help but didn’t know where! I found her and I will never regret this day! I would really love to see her every single day till I’m totally healed! She’s good with what she’s doing! She’s perfect! Thank you! Looking forward to see her again!

Bissan has been such a gift in my life. From the moment I met her, I felt seen, understood, and truly cared for. She has a way of listening that makes you feel safe to be completely honest, while also gently guiding you toward healing and growth. Her kindness and compassion come through in every session, and she never makes you feel rushed or judged. I’ve gained so much clarity and peace since working with her, and I can honestly say she’s helped me through some of my hardest moments. I’m deeply grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for not just a counselor, but a true source of support.
