John Hopper is a survivor of therapy abuse, a seasoned tech executive, and a mental health advocate who is turning personal tragedy into a force for change.

 

After losing two of his three children to suicide and later discovering that a trusted therapist had exploited him while he was seeking trauma treatment, John was diagnosed with PTSD and began a deep, ongoing journey of healing. His case led to the therapist losing her license and is now central to a larger legal effort seeking accountability from the institutions that enabled her. John brings a rare combination of lived

experience, professional credibility, and systemic insight.

​

As he works toward a master's degree in counseling, he's committed to exposing abuse within the mental health system, helping other survivors find their voice, and driving institutional change.

​

He splits his time between work, advocacy, and travel with his two golden retrievers-seeking nature, connection, and truth wherever the road leads.
