Welcome to John Syc, LCSW:
Empowering You Through Self-Awareness

Do You Ever Feel Like a Passenger in Your Own Life?

Do you feel misunderstood, overwhelmed, or out of place – like no matter what you do, you can’t seem to find your way? It’s not surprising. Many people spend their lives trying to fit into a world that doesn’t truly understand how they experience it.

Many of us feel disconnected from the world, unsure why our experiences seem so different from those around us. Often, it’s because our unique psychological profiles – our deep thinking, emotional intensity, or neurodivergence – are misunderstood.

You don’t need a label to begin understanding yourself – self-awareness is the first step to uncovering your true nature. For some, learning they may be gifted or twice-exceptional offers new clarity. But whether you relate to these terms, the journey to self-understanding begins with reflection.

Self-reflection is (a) key to understanding how your mind works, what you need, and (b) why you’ve been feeling stuck. Through personalized support and guidance, I can help you explore your emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that have been holding you back and begin to find clarity.

How I Can Guide You Through Transformation

Self-Reflection:

We start by exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll uncover the layers of how external expectations and internal beliefs have shaped your experiences.

Self-Awareness:

As clarity emerges, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of your motivations, your emotions, and your true self. This self-awareness allows you to see who you really are and what you need.

Empowerment:

With self-awareness, you gain the power to make choices that are aligned with your values and authentic self. You’ll feel more in control of your life, more grounded, and able to make decisions that support your well-being.

Whether through therapy, coaching, or mentoring, we’ll work together to create lasting change. Learn more about these services below.

See How This Process Can Work For you

Before working with John, I was losing it with the people I love –  lashing out when I didn’t even want to. Therapy wasn’t working anymore and I was stuck. But John actually listened. He didn’t just give the same advice that everyone else did. It felt like a weight lifted. I felt understood. Now, I have a sense of control I didn’t think was possible. Life’s still messy, but I can pause, breathe, and choose how to respond. Honestly, it’s life changing.

– Kyle M. – Therapy Client

I tried therapy and it helped until it didn’t. It felt like no one could help me untangle the chaos in my head. When I started working with John, he helped me understand my own thoughts in a way no one else had. It wasn’t easy, but something shifted. I’m not just surviving. The more I’m actually living. Life finally makes sense to me.

– James R. – Coaching Client

I’ve always felt out of place, like no one really understood me and I couldn’t explain myself properly. But with John, it wasn’t like that. Yet she saw me. I started saying things I didn’t even know I was feeling. His questions? They made me think some ways. They had never had before, period. Now, I understand and live more closely to my values. Honestly, I never thought I’d feel this kind of connection with my life – it’s hard to put into word, but it’s surreal.
