My name is Jake Johnson and I am the founder of Bristlecone Therapy. I've been practicing marriage and family therapy (MFT) for over 17 years. I also work as a professor of MFT at Wheaton College, where I have taught for 13 years. In more recent years I've become a certified life coach, and I am currently the president-elect of the International Family Therapy Association. On a personal note, I've been married for 15 years. I have four boys, ages 13 to 6. I love to travel, hike in the mountains and read fiction. I have done a whole bunch of my own therapy, spiritual direction, and personal and group retreats (as I deeply believe that if I am not healthy, then I certainly can't help my clients to be).

North Peoria covers the northern neighborhoods of Peoria, Illinois, generally the city's more residential and comfortable side, home to medical-sector professionals and established families. Its mental health picture follows Peoria's — economic anxiety in a city navigating industrial transition, family and career stress, and healthcare workforce burnout given the city's large medical employment. OSF HealthCare's behavioral programs and Peoria's provider base serve the area.
