A portrait of Jesse Zook Mann

Therapy for individuals and couples Focused on Connection, Patterns, and Purpose.​

I work to help clients in Washington identify and shift the dynamics that keep them stuck. As you reveal the patterns beneath the surface your new story becomes clearer, and so does the path forward.

Overview

Whether you’re navigating relationship issues, past emotional wounds, or anxiety/ depression, I meet you where you are and choose methods to best support you and your goals.

I work with individuals and couples across Washington State on telehealth to deepen insight, connection and meaning. Drawing from Attachment Theory, Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, and Solution-Focused work, I explore the patterns, stories, and values that shape the lives of my clients.

I currently accept Washington State Medicaid/ Apple Health, Cigna and provide out of network benefits for other providers through Mindful Therapy PNW. My pending Marriage and Family Therapist Associate license number in Washington is MG70035874. I am supervised under Jennifer Samsom license number LH61103557 in Washington. I am practicing with a pending MFTA license under WAC 246-809-097.

There’s no simple answer to emotional pain, but I believe having someone truly listen and walk beside you can make healing possible. I also work to help people find meaning in their struggles, not to minimize their pain, but to uncover strength, purpose, and possibility within it.

My Focus

  • Relationship and communication patterns
  • Anxiety, stress, and burnout
  • Couples therapy (premarital, relational repair, transitions, conflict patterns)
  • Narrative and meaning-making during life changes
  • Men’s issues (identity, purpose, emotional expression and insight)
  • Disability, chronic health challenges, and identity shifts
  • Creative professionals, executives, and people in high-stress careers

My approach

My style is collaborative, grounded, and relational. I draw from several evidence-based modalities to help clients understand the systems they’re part of: families, friends, partnerships, and communities.

  • Attachment Theory
  • Family Systems
  • The Gottman Method 
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Logotherapy (meaning-centered therapy)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy

     

I believe change happens through clarity, intention, and connecting with a sense of agency. I walk alongside clients as they rewrite limiting narratives, strengthen their relationships, and move toward more purposeful living.

Who i am

My background is shaped by punk’s DIY ethic, documentary filmmaking, and Jewish community life. This informs my approach that emphasizes cultural responsiveness, personal agency, and the power of reclaiming your story. I also come from a world of patient advocacy and lived experience, which grounds my work in practicality, humility, and deep respect for the work that my clients do. I graduated from Antioch University’s Couple and Family therapy program in 2025.
