Daring Ventures
Dr. Jake Porter
I’m Jake.
I started Daring Ventures to share with others what I had found in my own journey. My passion is to see people free and flourishing.
My own story has culminated, at least to this point, in the creation of a counseling practice with a laser-like focus on offering clinical excellence with authentic care. I have been on the other side of the therapy office, many times. I know the relief and hope that can be experienced when you find a place that is safe to be known, to yourself and to others.
I did not found Daring Ventures to be just another counseling practice, coaching organization, or consultation service. I have sought to bring together an interdisciplinary team of experts with diverse backgrounds and training united by a common passion. The Daring Ventures team is a living, breathing, growing embodiment of our vision, mission, and values. We take seriously our convictions regarding the inherent worth of every person, the hope that healing is possible, and the gravity of the work we’re entrusted to do.
We are convinced that total commitment to both the very best in clinical excellence and authentic compassionate care are one and the same goal.
Humans are fearfully and wonderfully made, complex, mysterious, beautiful, and we are passionate about helping people heal, change, grow, and flourish. We innovate. We create. We seek answers. We celebrate. We offer honesty, kindness, and safety.
Relational psychotherapist, peak performance coach, and practice consultant. And I do some speaking.
It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do when I grew up. After more than a decade in pastoral ministry, I now lead Daring Ventures, my own rapidly growing counseling clinic, host a podcast, and work as an executive leadership coach and practice–building consultant. I continue to have a heart for non–profits, as well.
My unique, transdisciplinary model for therapy and coaching draws from my research in performance psychology, developmental neuroscience, affect regulation, attachment theory, spirituality, as well as my formal coach training to enhance clients’ capacities for connection, with themselves and others.
I’d love to see if we’d be a good fit to work together. Read more about what I offer, and reach out if you’d like to connect.
