About Jesse
Jesse Jonesberg, MSW, LCSW
Welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and trainer. I specialize is using brainspotting and other compassion-based methods to help you with trauma, mental health, and general life stressors. I have seen many incredible recoveries and transformations during my last 15 years in this field. I am deeply honored to be a part of your healing, change, and recovery. I am originally an east coaster, but I now live and work in Milwaukee, WI. I am (always learning to be) a dad to my two children, my bully dog, and my super hot chili pepper plants.
Depression, anxiety, and trauma are debilitating states. They can make us feel miserable, disconnected, hopeless. You can get better with help, I can support you in your work of healing and recovery. My therapy approach is very flexible but grounded in evidence based practices. I enjoy collaborating with you to help develop a personalized therapy that will help you most. I work with you in an authentic way that honors our humanity. I have listed some of my experience and qualifications below, but please do reach out to me so we can see how I can help you with your goals.
