Photo of Mark Esse, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate, MA
I began my career working at a bank on Wall Street and spent over a decade in corporate finance and strategy — I understand work stress and managing how we are perceived by others. I know it can be hard to find a sense of purpose and direction in life. I strive to help you embrace challenges as part of life, approach yourself without judgement, and uncover the values necessary to chart a path forward.
Life is not always easy, and part of being human is facing challenging thoughts and emotions. My goal is to create a space where you can show up however you need to, to help process anything on your mind, no matter how difficult it may feel.
Whether you are looking to build stronger relationships, manage depression and anxiety, avoid work burnout, or simply find more meaning (and humor!) in life, I am here for you. Stepping into therapy takes immense courage, and I am honored to be part of that journey.
