I help audiences trade burnout, stress, and distraction for clarity, confidence, and the mental strength to navigate pressure, lead themselves well, and move forward with courage.

Jason VanRuler is a nationally recognized psychotherapist, bestselling author of Get Past Your Past, and the upcoming Discovering Your Communication Type, both from Harper Collins. With over a decade of experience, Jason helps leaders, teams, and organizations trade burnout, stress, and distraction for clarity, confidence, and emotional strength. His storytelling has been described as “the voice people didn’t know they needed” and he is gifted at making complex ideas simple, relatable, and immediately actionable for audiences of all backgrounds.


Jason’s work has taken him from designing trauma-informed treatment programs for orphans in Ukraine to guiding CEOs, celebrities, and professional athletes through the pressures of public life.

He has led retreats around the world, facilitated intensive transformation experiences, and earned a reputation as a trusted guide for those navigating demanding personal and professional relationships.

His mission is simple: to give people the clarity and courage to show up as the best version of themselves and keep moving forward, no matter what they’re facing.
