John Uberto

John (he/him) got his start in the mental health field in 2015 working as a wilderness field guide at a program for dual-diagnosis young adults. This is where he began working with clients on their clinical goals and being a part of the treatment team. After he wrapped up his time in the woods, John spent the next 5 years on staff at a therapeutic boarding school for dual-diagnosis adolescents ranging in ages 12-17. John held various roles from mentor, Student Life Director, Program Director and finished his time there as Outreach Director. The program was a true-to-life model where the students spent most of their time in the community doing various activities. John made it a priority to have sessions with his students out and about so that these learned life skills would be transferable back home. Most recently, he worked at a young adult transitional program in Chicago which was based on the seven dimensions of wellness coaching model. The young people John worked with were looking to enter college, the work force, or take a gap year. Currently, he works at a short-term residential treatment center for teens with various mental health struggles.

John’s extensive background allows him to connect with a wide array of young people to help them feel inspired. He enjoys walking alongside his clients as they make the subtle adjustments in their daily routines which moves them towards the end goal of what they want their lives to look like.

In his free time John can be found playing volleyball, working out, attending live music or exploring all that New York has to offer.
