About Me
Hi, I’m Jennifer Pertofsky-Plotnek, I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate anxiety, career stress, life transitions, and work-life balance.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Smith College and specialize in supporting professionals, students, and parents in managing anxiety, building confidence, and setting healthy boundaries.
I understand how anxiety can impact decision-making, productivity, and overall well-being, whether in your career or personal life. That’s why I take a practical, solution-focused approach, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and coaching techniques to help you develop actionable strategies to manage stress, quiet self-doubt, and feel more in control.
Whether you’re feeling stuck in your career, overwhelmed by change, or struggling with work-life balance, I offer personalized virtual sessions that provide a secure and supportive space for growth. I believe that with the right tools and support, you can overcome obstacles, manage anxiety, and create a life that aligns with your values and goals.
I’d love to be part of your journey toward greater clarity, confidence, and well-being.
