Jason, is by far the best therapist anyone can come across. If you're feeling sad, hurt, confused, doubtfully or lonely inside or you know someone , Jason can definitely help you and help a loved one. If you are hurting inside because of what life has brought to you, Jason is the therapist for you. Jason was my therapist for a little over 6 months and he has truly helped me a lot and I can never thank him enough. I was feeling so hurt and so dark inside and I never smiled because I felt that I didn't have any reason to smile but Jason proved me wrong. He showed me how to love myself

Jason is amazing. I've been seeing him off and on for probably just over 10 years. He's freakin awesome. He's so intuitive and a great listen and he always provides advice and help and tools to help you, he doesn't just listen and say oh I'm sorry ok where's my money. He's not covered by insurance but he is worth every single penny!!!! One appointment will change your life. I know a lot of friends and family tell me they have A therapist and that they don't feel connected to them or that they have tried multiple therapists and just can't find somebody

Jason is one of the most authentic therapists and human beings I've had the pleasure to work with! He always makes every effort to connect and never "hides" behind his role as a therapist. Nor does he just sit there, listen, and occasionally offer some kind of "therapisty" advice. He makes eye contact, gives you his honest opinion and feedback, and provides helpful tools and "homework" so you don't have to wait for the next session to feel better. Working with Jason often feels like working with a true friend... A friend who doesn't judge, but rather helps you feel and be yourself. I can

Jason Esswein is the most thoughtfull, kind and understanding therapist ever. He truly listens to you, doesn't answer your questions with a question and takes time to get to know you. He does not do the " one size fits all" kind of therapy. Or the " go for a nice swim or take a walk for your anxiety " kind of crap.
Talking to him feels like talking to a friend, who doesn't judge you. His voice is very calming and he doesn't speak doctor to you. He offers a free half hour initial consultation to see if it clicks, so you don't have to pay a mountain of money
