Youth and Adult Mentor

Homebase:

 

Owen Nagler brings a thoughtful, grounded approach to mentorship, rooted in a deep
understanding of human behavior and a lifelong commitment to learning. With a
bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s in Industrial/Organizational Psychology,
Owen blends academic insight with a real-world sense of compassion and curiosity.
His work and studies have consistently centered around how people grow—how they
learn, adapt, and move forwards past obstacles. Owen’s approach to problem solving is
firmly rooted in holistic principles. Whether he’s diving into classic behavioral theory to
help someone navigate a personal challenge, or tapping into his history as a researcher
to help analyze a problem, Owen is always happy to help someone make a positive
change in their life. He believes that change is possible for everyone, and that
meaningful progress comes through earnest commitment, combined with reflection,
effort, and encouragement.

Outside of his academic and mentoring roles, Owen is an avid reader and writer who
finds joy in exploring new ideas and creative hobbies. His interests range from creative
pursuits making costumes and writing stories to quiet cafe-side people-watching
expeditions. These hobbies keep him grounded and connected, and they shape his
empathetic, optimistic outlook on other humans.

As a mentor, Owen is calm, perceptive, and committed to helping others move forward
at their own pace. He brings an open mind and a steady belief in persistence as a tool
for self-betterment—not perfection, but genuine growth. He listens closely, offers
practical insight, and believes every cloud has its own little silver lining. 
Owen loves the rain, especially when it’s accompanied by thunder and lightning, as it
gives him a chance to relax, drink some tea, and read a novel. He enjoys discussing
stories, ideas, theories and dreams, and enjoys drawing comparisons between the
disparate mediums, integrating insights into his own projects.
