Now Accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield: Therapy with John Adkins in Kernersville, NC
We’re excited to share that John Adkins is now officially in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBS NC) at JPB Counseling and he has immediate availibility for both in person and telehealth sessions!
For many people, finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is hard enough. Add insurance limitations on top of that, and it can feel overwhelming fast. Being in network with BCBS NC means one less barrier for adults in the Kernersville area who are looking for thoughtful, supportive therapy that actually meets them where they are.
If you’re new to counseling and want to learn more about John's approach, you can explore his full bio here or keep reading to get a sense of who he works with and how he shows up in the therapy space.
Therapy for Adults Who Feel Stuck, Unheard, or Burned Out
If you’re reading this, there’s probably a reason. Life feels hard right now. Maybe harder than it should. Maybe harder than you can easily explain to the people around you.
John works with adults who are struggling with trauma, substance use, grief, and the long-term impact of feeling unheard or marginalized. Many of the people he works with have tried therapy before and walked away thinking, “That didn’t help.”
If that’s been your experience, John takes that seriously.
This is not about quick fixes or surface-level conversations. It’s about slowing things down and understanding what’s actually keeping you stuck.
Who John Works Best With
John works with adults who are willing, even cautiously, to take an honest look at patterns that are no longer serving them.
Many clients seek therapy with John for support around:
Childhood trauma, including complex PTSD
Substance use or a history of addiction, personal or within the family
Religious trauma and its impact on identity or self-worth
Grief and loss, including death or major life transitions
LGBTQ+ stress, identity exploration, or marginalization
A deep sense of feeling misunderstood, unsupported, or alone
You don’t need to have the “right words” or a perfectly defined goal to start therapy. That clarity often comes later. The work starts with showing up.
Why Reaching Out Can Feel So Hard
Most people John works with are not in crisis mode. They’re in survival mode.
They feel exhausted. Disconnected. Stuck. They may say things like:
“I feel like therapy is pointless.”
“I’ve tried this before and it didn’t work.”
“I don’t really have anyone I can lean on.”
“I know something needs to change, but I don’t know how.”
On top of that, many people face real obstacles to getting help, including stigma around mental health, past therapy experiences that felt invalidating, limited support systems, or the belief that they should be able to handle everything on their own.
John doesn’t see these as barriers to push through. He sees them as part of the work itself.
Using BCBS NC for Therapy in Kernersville
With John now in network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina BCBS NC, accessing therapy at JPB Counseling is more straightforward for many adults in the Kernersville area.
If insurance has been a reason you’ve delayed starting therapy, this may be the right time to revisit that decision.
You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, John is here to support you.
