Jesse Cardin(He/Him/His)

Jesse Cardin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Zen meditation teacher offering contemplative, trauma-informed telehealth psychotherapy. He specializes in providing compassionate, confidential care for LGBTQ+ individuals, military members and families, people in recovery from addiction and substance abuse, and black sheep of all types.

With over a decade of experience, Jesse has worked with diverse clients in various behavioral health settings, including inpatient and outpatient acute psychiatric care, crisis stabilization, community case management, group homes, and private practice. He also leads individual Zen meditation sessions and retreats, integrating this approach into therapy to help clients gain deeper self-insights in a nonreligious way.

Jesse’s clients are often individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and the root causes of their struggles. They may face challenges with shame, guilt, anger, self-worth, sexual and gender identity, childhood trauma, and questions about life’s meaning and purpose. Many come to therapy to find clarity around symptoms like depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, nightmares, or overwhelming emotions.

Current and past clients describe Jesse as honest, kind, humorous, insightful, warm, and authentic. They appreciate his unbiased guidance and the safe space he creates, where they feel comfortable sharing and exploring all aspects of their lives without fear of judgment.

Jesse is currently accepting new clients in California, Texas, and Washington state. Reach out today to schedule a free consultation!
