Jesse Weiss-zandfard

Jesse Weiss-zandfard, an accomplished Clinical Social Worker and therapist, believes that everyone possesses innate abilities and strengths that shape personal growth. Recognizing that taking the first step to heal is an act of courage, Jesse supports individuals in striving for balance through self-discovery, viewing it as the ultimate act of self-compassion. Central to Jesse's practice is the understanding of how experiences shape the brain, body, and stress responses, and how these emotional templates impact coping with difficult emotions and fostering connections to realize one's potential. With a passion for empowering adults, couples, and adolescents, Jesse helps clients develop the skills necessary to overcome obstacles, navigate life transitions, and live fulfilling lives. In therapy, the focus is not on pathologizing by asking, 'what is wrong with me?' but rather on expanding the understanding of how life experiences influence identity, interpersonal relationships, and how limiting belief systems can affect self-realization. Committed to encouraging transformative change, Jesse guides clients in developing adaptive skills, enhancing self-confidence, and fostering a belief in their ability to lead lives that reflect their values, needs, and personal goals. Jesse specializes in anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress management, interpersonal conflict, and trauma/PTSD.
