John Kinnaird(He/Him/His)

John Kinnaird is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Fort Collins, Colorado, with 28 years of experience walking alongside individuals, couples and nontraditional partners through trauma, attachment wounds, relationship conflict, and life transitions.

John's work is rooted in the belief that lasting change begins with self-understanding. His clients develop a compassionate awareness of their history, behavioral patterns, and deep unconscious themes — finding clarity, confidence, emotional strength, and purpose along the way. He works with individuals navigating trauma, CPTSD, anxiety, narcissistic and emotional abuse, and addiction, as well as couples and non-traditional partnered relationships seeking to understand the unconscious dynamics beneath their conflict and rebuild honesty, repair, and real intimacy.

John's integrative approach draws on depth psychology, psychodynamic thinking, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Hypnotherapy — focusing on the inner life as much as current behavior to create change that endures. He prioritizes a safe, relaxed atmosphere that incorporates education, humor, and storytelling, and tailors his approach to each client's unique goals and life situation.

John earned his Master of Social Work from Arizona State University and holds certifications in EMDR and Hypnotherapy. He brings additional grounding in neuroscience, mindfulness, and psychoanalytic thinking to his work with clients.

John offers in-person sessions in Fort Collins and virtual sessions throughout Colorado, with availability Monday through Friday and occasional weekend appointments. He accepts Cigna, Aetna, Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, and Optum, and offers a free 15-minute phone consultation for prospective clients.
