Y'all know I love speaking about the psychology behind the biz, too. The insightful John Sovec, who is a former dancer turned therapist, joins me in this important episode to discuss the importance of attitude and positive energy within the entertainment field. We talk about how to support yourself emotionally and the importance of supporting your friends and colleagues. He explains how this can help you be the best version of yourself when you walk into the audition room. Super. important. stuff!

John Sovec, MA, LMFT: I am a therapist, coach and counselor in Pasadena, CA who will help you to reconnect to the things that matter in your life. More than just talk therapy, you and I will work together to uncover the blocks that are keeping you stuck and open up new paths of understanding that will help you to create the life you desire.

When you arrive at my office, centrally located in Old Town Pasadena, you will experience a truly unique therapeutic environment. Some days we may sit and focus on the narrative of your life, other days we may do art projects to unlock your thought process, or even take a walk around to stimulate the process of sharing. Yoga, reading, awareness exercises and meditation are other tools that I invite into our work together.

So, what makes all of these processes work? It is my training as an alumnus of Phillips Graduate Institute where I primarily focused on a Post-Modern Narrative approach to therapy. This style recognizes you as the expert of your life experience and creates a collaborative and respectful approach to the work.

This collaborative style is highly effective in developing you as an agent of change in your own life even when you are feeling flooded by depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and stress.

And of course, I really enjoy working with teens. I have received additional training in school-based therapy, positive adolescent development, teen addiction, and non-violent communication which I bring to my work with adolescents.

I am also a nationally recognized expert on the coming out process for LGBT teens and I work with both teens and their families to ease the experience and open up channels for communication and understanding.

My office is an affirming space for the LGBTQ community for individual, family, and couples work

There’s lots more to tell and I am open to answer your questions when we speak in person. Please email me at [email protected] or call me at 626.374.7046 and let’s talk.
