Journey

What began in 2015 with a simple yet powerful goal—to help people live happier lives with greater clarity and peace of mind—has evolved into Journey, a leading proactive mental health solution for modern companies. Stephen Sokoler, Founder & CEO, recognized the need to share wellbeing in a more approachable and accessible way after years of personal practice and experience in the business sector, founding and running companies like Altrum Honors, which focused on employee celebration and inspiration. Initially established as Journey Meditation, Inc., the company has since broadened its scope beyond meditation to encompass a comprehensive suite of subclinical and clinical mental health services. This expansion reflects a deep understanding that while tools for individual wellbeing are crucial, the work environment itself plays a significant role in mental and emotional health.

Journey's philosophy is rooted in three core pillars: live group learning, peer support, and proactive health. They believe that expert-led live classes offer the most effective, engaging, and personalized experiences. The support of colleagues and peers is seen as a vital component in achieving positive health and wellbeing outcomes. Furthermore, Journey champions the idea that consistent small actions make a substantial difference in maintaining mental and emotional fitness. This approach has enabled Journey to partner with a diverse range of organizations, from large corporations like Walgreens and Sony to non-profits such as the Harlem Children's Zone and the Anti-Defamation League. By continuously innovating and listening to the needs of both organizations and their employees, Journey strives to create environments where individuals feel safe and supported, ultimately fostering happier and healthier individuals, companies, and communities. Their proactive Employee Assistance Program (EAP) aims to revolutionize traditional models by significantly reducing wait times for care and dramatically increasing employee engagement, making mental health support more accessible and effective than ever before.
