Jenny Sassoon, MSW, CPC's style
💙 Warm 💡 Solution-oriented 🥇 Empowering 🌎 HolisticWhy Jenny Sassoon, MSW, CPC chose to be in the helping profession
I believe that every person is capable of thriving in their life, career, and relationships, no matter what challenges they have experienced along the way. With the right tools, growth, healing, and lasting fulfillment become possible. These are not tools we are typically taught in school, and part of my mission is to help others learn the skills and insights that allow them to move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and joy. I want each person I work with to discover what is possible for them and to know that they have the ability to create meaningful change in their own life.
I also believe that each of us has unique gifts, talents, strengths, and a purpose that only we can fulfill. My goal is to help you better understand and appreciate who you are, recognize your strengths, and feel empowered to share them with the world and in your relationships. Together, we can identify and work through the limiting beliefs and challenges that may be holding you back, while building the tools needed to create a life that feels authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. My hope is that you leave our work together with a deeper understanding of yourself and the confidence to create greater joy, success, and fulfillment in both your personal and professional life.
Jenny Sassoon, MSW, CPC's approach
I believe that each person carries an inner wisdom and already knows, deep down, the direction that is right for them. Rather than telling you what to do, I guide you through a process of self-discovery and self-leadership so you can reconnect with your authentic self and your own inner wisdom. Together, we work to move beyond uncertainty, self-doubt, and feeling stuck so you can discover your direction and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. Whether you are navigating your career, business, leadership, relationships, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you move toward a path that feels authentic, meaningful, and true to who you are.
I believe that real and lasting change happens when self-awareness is paired with practical tools you can continue using long after our work together. Alongside helping you reconnect with your core essence, strengths, values, and purpose, I teach practical strategies to build self-trust, develop lasting confidence, make aligned decisions, and take meaningful action. I also support you in navigating career and life transitions, strengthening communication and boundaries, and creating work and relationships that feel fulfilling and aligned with your values. Clients and workshop participants often describe my approach as practical, transformational, and inspiring because it combines deep personal insight with actionable tools that create meaningful and lasting change.
What you can expect from sessions with Jenny Sassoon, MSW, CPC
You can expect to feel fully accepted, genuinely celebrated, and never judged. My approach is solution focused and goal oriented, creating a supportive space where you can be yourself while also making meaningful progress toward the life you want. Rather than spending most of our time focused on why something happened or how you got here, we focus on where you are now, what you want moving forward, and the steps that will help you get there. From the very beginning of our work together, you will identify the outcomes you want to achieve, and I will guide and support you every step of the way as you work toward those goals.
Throughout the process, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself from a positive, strengths-based perspective. Together, we will uncover your unique strengths, help you appreciate who you are, recognize the value you bring, and discover a clearer sense of purpose and direction. Along the way, you will learn practical tools to overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs, strengthen your confidence, make decisions that align with your values, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. My hope is that our work together leaves you feeling empowered to create greater success, fulfillment, and joy in both your professional and personal life, while continuing to trust yourself long after our work is complete.
Jenny Sassoon, MSW, CPC's experience working with the Jewish community
I have been working within the Jewish community since the beginning of my career in 2000, and it has been a meaningful part of my professional journey ever since. Over the years, I have had the privilege of serving in a variety of educational, leadership, and community settings, including with NJCD Yachad, NCSY, The Jewish Education Project (formerly the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York), and Camp Moshav Indian Orchard. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the richness and diversity of Jewish life, as well as the unique opportunities and challenges that individuals and families may encounter throughout different stages of life.
Today, my Jewish client base reflects that same diversity. I work with individuals from across the Jewish spectrum, including those who identify as ultra-Orthodox or Haredi, those who are unaffiliated, and everyone in between. I strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and culturally attuned space where each person feels understood and accepted without assumptions or judgment. My goal is to meet every client where they are, honor their unique experiences and values, and support them in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to who they are.

“The coaching process with Jenny enabled me to rediscover my voice, and to redefine my “why”, the ultimate goals and objectives that lead my professional path. I finished each session with practical tools that allowed me to come to work the next morning focused, re-energized, and with a higher sense of self-confidence and belief in my abilities.”

“This is a program of reconnecting to who you are and living life based on that...because there really is no other way to live life in a healthy way."
Y.P.

“Jenny has helped me get in touch with my own inner voice and conscience. She helped me develop into a woman who makes pro-active, as opposed to re-active, choices. She helped me overcome the many stumbling blocks in my path - all of which were actually inside of myself."
K.F.

“Coaching helped me navigate my negative thoughts that were holding me back from achievement. I appreciated Jenny’s authenticity, professionalism, and determination to help me work towards my personal and professional goals. I highly recommend coaching with her.”

“I entered this coaching experience feeling lost, scared and worried about my future. I was afraid to even do it because I did not want to admit I needed help. Jenny was a hidden blessing of sorts. I started her program feeling lost on many levels. Jenny took the time and effort to empathize with me and was available at any time to help me and give me very practical tools to overcome.”
I.B.
-
“I found Jenny exactly at the right moment in my life, and she really helped me to build a solid foundation in so many ways for embarking on the adventures that came during and after we began our sessions together. Jenny helped me to reconnect with my inner core and essence, rebuild and strengthen my relationship with myself, to feel confident in recognizing and honoring my needs and setting healthy boundaries, and she gave me many useful tools with which to plan and visualize my future and really take care of myself. She did all of this with cheerfulness and honesty, and I looked forward to our sessions every week. I really feel now that I have rediscovered the deceptive ease of living life as my honest and true self, and that I have many tools to continue this process into the future. She was also flexible with my schedule and willing to give me advice at any time of the day. I highly recommend her!”

Working with Jenny is deeply satisfying and energizing — she brings out the best in me, and through our work together I've gotten a real taste of what her clients must experience. She asks probing, thought-provoking questions and poses dilemmas that spark genuine reflection and inquiry. Jenny is always open to feedback and dialogue. She is self-reflective and thoughtful, and conversations with her are consistently fun, enthralling, and intellectually stimulating. Her curiosity is contagious, and her sound values are both encouraging and comforting. I recommend Jenny without reservation to anyone seeking a thoughtful, insightful professional.
