John Huffaker, Life Direction Coach
A HISTORY OF MY WORK... I found my purpose while managing a health insurance claims office in mid-1970’s Los Angeles, California. Agonizing for years over a true direction for my life, an employee helped point the way. She brought her emotional struggles with disgruntled customers into my office, looking for some relief and support. While I did what I could for her, I felt poorly prepared, but thoroughly interested, in learning more about how to “help”. This birthed a career in psychology, discovered as I was approaching my 30th year. I entered California State University, Northridge in 1976 and graduated with a Master’s Degree in Clinical/Community Psychology in 1981.
In the 30 years since I discovered my calling, helping people to sort out their emotional struggles and to discover the joy of living a purposeful life have been the focus of my professional life as a psychotherapist and life direction coach. My ongoing commitment to clients is to create a safe, accepting environment where they are heard, to provide new perspectives and possibilities, and to pass on what I have been learning on my own personal/professional journey. For the past 28 years my psychotherapy practice has served men, women, couples and families, using an eclectic therapy approach tailored to the needs of each person I see. In the mid-1990’s my interest broadened to helping clients find clarity to make changes in important life situations, and to follow through to completion. Today, I often blend these two approaches, but sometimes operate from an exclusive therapy or coaching model, depending on my client. Similarly, alternative practices are frequently incorporated into client work, such as meditation, breath work, guided imagery and personality typology (the Enneagram).
