As a toxic group therapist, John is the best. His years of experience and training coupled with his personality make him golden.... I was very frightened to delve into the control that my former toxic group (cult) had on me. John... put me at ease.... Within a short few months I found myself more mentally focused, clear and aware.... This wasn't a magic potion. This was the re-discovery of my own will and intelligence. I started making decisions based on MY needs, not what I had been brainwashed to think. I then took action in the real world resulting in all the benefits that came my way.... Now I am living my own life. —N.M., Tennesee

John's work has been a huge help to me, and I'd highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for support and help in the area of mental and emotional health. One of his goals is for the client to "fire him." That means obtain wellness. (note: Wellness does not equal perfection; quite the opposite..imo. ;-) —Carol Welch, TossAndRipple Blog

John Knapp is a great counselor who was able to truly help me sort through the confusing and conflicting emotions surrounding being born and raised in a high intensity new religious movement. John is kind and compassionate, and unlike so many others, he is willing to listen to both the good and bad aspects of cult life and help you sort through it. He has the experience and background to really understand the cult life dynamic. He also has the life experience to provide support with issues surrounding families, group dynamics and children. I would highly recommned John as a therapeutic source of support and help. —B.L., Hawaii

John has been extremely helpful in getting our daughter to understand she has a mother, father and siblings who will go to the end of the world and beyond. I think much of John's success in getting [our daughter] out of her depressed state is based on his easy going temperament and getting our daughter to fully trust him. We think the world of John and to anyone reading this post, I highly recommend John to help in the cult recovery process. —Anonymous

John is a therapist who is an ex-member of Transcendental Meditation and is an active supporter of those who have exited high-demand groups and cults. He is a tremendous guy to know and talk with. —Mike Kawahara, LeavingSRF Blog
