Jonathan Schultz is a full-time professor and counselor at Bakersfield College, as well as a researcher, writer, speaker, social media influencer, and mental health advocate. He holds a Master’s degree in School Counseling and a Doctorate degree in Organizational Leadership. Jonathan has been married since 2012 and is the proud father of three children.
Jonathan grew up in a supportive family and had what he describes as a positive childhood. He played baseball through his senior year of college, earned good grades, and appeared to have his future well planned. However, behind the scenes, he experienced significant mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, and intrusive thoughts.
At age 18, Jonathan was formally diagnosed with anxiety, depression, and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Three years later, following his first major mental health crisis, he was diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Although his life eventually stabilized, Jonathan continued to experience challenges related to untreated OCD. Following another significant mental health crisis in 2020 that led him to take a leave from work, he made the decision to shift his focus toward helping others who experience mental health challenges.
Through his research, writing, speaking, and advocacy work, Jonathan is committed to increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and connecting individuals and families with information and resources related to mental health, with a particular focus on OCD and related disorders.
