My name is Juan Lesende. I’m a psychologist.

I studied hard. Trained for years. Trained with giants. Sat with thousands of people. Built treatment centers. Taught. Listened. Helped. Watched people fall apart. Watched them be reborn.

I learned under John Heider. He learned under Fritz Perls. That learning runs deep. Gestalt. Presence. Truth told straight. I trained in Jungian psychology—myths, dreams, archetypes, the shadow. I studied human attachment—the mystery and wonder of human relationships. I track the cutting edge research on the unconscious—the silent force in the deep. The part science is just now learning to name.

But none of that matters unless you live it. I live it. Intensely. Intentionally. Seriously.

Through depression, joy, anxiety, dread, and passion. Through the pain and glory of being alive.

I don’t ask permission to do my work. Not from boards. Not from schools. Not from anyone. I answer to soul.

Psychology is not a job. It’s a path. A calling. I walk it as a mentor, scientist, and healer. I meet people soul to soul—bare, breathing, real. That’s how I connect with a spiritual reality in the present moment.

That’s why I built Soul Architects.

This place is for the ones who won’t play it safe. The ones who know healing is wild. That soul can’t be measured—only met. The ones that take living and dying seriously.

We draw from the old ones—Jung, Perls, Bowlby. We follow the pull of the unconscious. We speak the language beneath the surface.

This is not just a blog.

It’s a forge.

If you believe therapy is more than science—if you believe it’s art, craft, fire, and love—

Then you’re home.

We are the architects of soul.
