Dr. Cleveland (Jon) meets with adults who experienced difficult childhoods. Over the course of treatment, he collaborates to boost insight, self-esteem, resiliency, flexibility, the ability to trust, as well as the capacity for humor and creative expression. Jon specializes in treating trauma and dissociation using psychodynamic psychotherapy, hypnosis, havening, and EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing). For those wishing to focus on parts work, he incorporates ego state and IFS (internal family systems) techniques. He often meets with therapists who are seeking their own psychotherapy or professional consultation and enjoys supervising doctoral students and postdoctoral trainees.
Jon serves as vice president (2025-2027) of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation and is founder of Collective Within. He is a clinical faculty member at WSU’s School of Professional Psychology, former editor-in-chief of Trauma Psychology News, and current editor of The Miami Valley Psychologist. In his leisure time, Jon finds himself cooking, reading, and tinkering with synthesizers. He also enjoys playing golf and traveling to new places to ski & scuba dive with friends.
