Our Founder

George Gogas

Warriors in Gardens was founded when George Gogas combined his knowledge as a mental health therapist, experience as a combat infantryman and honor of being a dad to create this unique organization.

After returning from Afghanistan he saw many veterans struggling with their mental health. This combined with his own struggles propelled him to start his journey to become a licensed therapist.

During his time as a therapist he has focused on helping men overcome the stigma of asking for help while using evidenced based skills to manage their mental health. While working with many other veterans, first responders and those in high stress jobs he realized living a strong and balanced life is essential. To be like a warrior in a garden.

George strongly feels that men need to come together so we can be better for ourselves and communities. The Warriors in Gardens Seven Principles are there to guide our path! Our Bootcamp event offers the space, skills and support to help start your journey.

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
