Pasadena carries the weight of legacy, faith, and high expectation.
Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley are home to a distinctive population: legacy families, faith community leaders, medical and academic professionals from Caltech and the Huntington, and a deep evangelical culture that has shaped the region for generations. The men I work with here are often carrying the weight of high expectation — from their families, their faith communities, and themselves.
The particular wound of the high-expectation man is that he has learned to perform competence so thoroughly that he has lost access to his own interior. The achievement is real. The exhaustion is real. And the gap between them is the work.
100% Virtual. Available to Any California Resident.
All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. You join from your home office, your car, or anywhere private. Sessions are 50 minutes and scheduled around the demands of a full professional and family life.
Faith-Integrated Narrative Therapy
I am a Christian practitioner and I offer faith-integrated therapy for men who want their spiritual life honored in the therapeutic space. For men in Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley whose faith is the deepest part of their identity, this matters.
Does Jon Holmes work with Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley clients?
Yes. I am licensed in California and offer virtual therapy to any man who currently resides in the state, including throughout Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Azusa, Glendora, Claremont, Pomona, San Dimas, La Verne, Upland, and the broader San Gabriel Valley.
What is faith-integrated therapy and how is it different from religious counseling?
Faith-integrated therapy honors the spiritual dimension of a man's life as a genuine and important part of his story, without reducing the therapeutic work to religious instruction or pastoral advice. I am a Christian practitioner with graduate theological training. I can engage the language of faith, the wounds that religious environments sometimes create, and the integration of spiritual life with psychological health — all within a rigorous, evidence-informed clinical framework.
