I'm Jack Jessup and I help people live the questions.
Jack Jessup's Bio:
Hello! My name is Jack Jessup and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pittsburgh, PA. I specialize in working with individuals and families who are struggling with sudden change or ongoing conflict in their lives. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can work through the big questions at a pace that works for them. You can reach me at [email protected].
"Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer."
-Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
