Team Garbo is a nonprofit mental health bridge—not a replacement for professional care. We don't diagnose, prescribe, or collect unnecessary data. We're here to help you find what you need next.

The resources listed here are provided for informational purposes. Team Garbo doesn't endorse specific providers and isn't responsible for the quality or outcomes of third-party services. Always verify credentials and trust your instincts when choosing support.

The Climb

Mental health is a journey, not a destination. These reflections come from lived experience—offered as reminders that you're not alone on the path.

What This Means

The Climb is the story of one person's mental health journey—written to remind others that struggle doesn't mean failure, and asking for help doesn't mean weakness.

These reflections are drawn from the book The Climb, a memoir about navigating mental health, identity, and endurance.

Your Climb

Your journey won't look like anyone else's. That's okay. What matters is taking the next step—whatever that looks like for you.

The Climb book cover

The Climb: A Memoir of Mental Health and Endurance

This book tells the story of one person's mental health journey—the struggles, setbacks, and small victories that shaped the path forward. It's written for anyone who's ever felt alone in their own climb.

What's Inside

The Climb is available on Amazon.

Team Garbo exists to bridge the gap between everyday people and the mental health resources they need.

We're not therapists. We're not a crisis line. We're the space in between—a place to figure out what help looks like when you're not sure where to start.

Why "Team?"

Mental health isn't something you navigate alone—even when it feels that way. "Team Garbo" reflects the belief that support comes in many forms: professionals, peers, resources, and the quiet act of showing up for yourself.

You're part of the team just by being here.

Where This Came From

Team Garbo was founded by someone who knows what it's like to need help and not know where to turn. The lessons from that journey—captured in the memoir The Climb—became the foundation for this nonprofit.

But this isn't one person's project. It's a bridge built for everyone.

How We Help

Connect people to trusted mental health resources

Provide guidance without judgment or diagnosis

Offer reflections from lived experience

Make it easier to take the next step—whatever that looks like for you

What We Don't Do

We don't diagnose.

We don't replace therapy.

We don't promise quick fixes.

We're here to help you find what you need next—and remind you that you're not alone in looking.

Eagles Player Lane Johnson Battles with his Mental Health

Updated: Nov 2, 2021

In this article it talks about Lane Johnson and his battles with mental health. I encourage everyone take the time to read this short article but I can cover a brief overview as well.


For those of you who don’t know, Lane Johnson is a professional football player for the Philadelphia Eagles, and he is BIG STRONG MAN. Obviously known for his physical strength on the field but most recently know for the strength of publicizing his mental health battles with Anxiety and Depression. Lane spent two weeks away from the team to really address his health first.


A great takeaway from the article was when Lane mentioned how common this was for players; "We're all human. We're not monsters," Johnson said during the Eagles' Super Bowl run in 2017. "I think I heard it at the combine: 50% of guys have dealt with anxiety, depression. It's not foreign. It's just something that's not talked about. It's a stigma where it's seen as a weakness. When you bring it to light, a lot of people in this world have it." He is absolutely right that this stigma is really holding people back from being their best self.


I can relate on a smaller level of being a collegiate athlete dealing with mental health and for me I felt like I could muscle through anything. Now picture this giant human beings, who get paid to push people in the opposite direction in front of thousands of people every Sunday. But that is what needs to be reminded to everyone! It doesn’t matter how big or strong you physically are, YOU ARE NOT ALONE and don’t need to muscle through these challenging times. Lane has seen success on all levels and mental health is a TEAM SPORT just like Football. Can’t be handled by just one person. And thats okay.


Everyone should be more like Lane these past couple weeks. True strength is showing vulnerability and accepting love, help and faith from others and know you are lucky to have it. I challenge everyone to talk about their mental health (on any level) and be STRONG to end this stigma!
