Hello! I'm John Souchak,
I am a father, divorced father, co-parent, son, brother, and friend. Okay, that sounds a bit like the first line of a cheesy poem, but I say that because you need to know who you are dealing with here.
Therapy is about trust. Part of trust comes from knowing you’re working with a trained professional, but you also want to know who your therapist is as a person and the common ground you might share.
Trust is especially important when talking about navigating relationships. And I’ve had them all – some joyous, some painful. But all of them helped me grow, gain wisdom, and be a better person and therapist.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), practicing since 2012. My master’s degree was in depth counseling from Pacifica Graduate. Before pursuing therapy, I studied English, earning a Master of Arts from Colorado State.
I also had a long tech career, working for several startup software companies, the US Forest Service, IBM, and Google.
I have been a teacher at the community college and university level and have done tutoring and volunteer work in hospitals.
Our Story
Our Approach
Navigating life's challenges alone is difficult yet few support systems exist for men. Traditional therapy was designed for women and has never been updated to properly address men's issues. Horizon Coaching and Therapy was started to address the traditional therapies failure to properly address and resolve men's problems.
The Problem
Traditional therapy models focus on helping men feel heard and loved instead of providing practical solutions and restoring their sense of personal power.
Men Need Practical Solutions
Men need to be heard but they need practical solutions more. Without practical solutions, men will continue down the path of depression based on feeling helpless, powerless, and unable to affect their life or environment.
The Answer
And this is the very reason I started Horizon Coaching and Therapy. A place where men can be heard. Find solutions to their problems. Restore their sense of personal power. And learn practical techniques to better handle life’s future challenges.
