More about Jeanne
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW, LMSW, LISW
My name is Dr. Jeanne Assinthe, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Qualified Supervisor, and Doctor of Social Work dedicated to transforming how we approach mental health and healing. With over 15 years of experience, my work is driven by a profound commitment to decolonizing trauma-informed care and making it more accessible, equitable, and effective for Black, Brown, and other historically marginalized communities.
My approach to healing is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: true recovery must honor the whole person—their identity, their history, their community, and their culture. I don't just treat symptoms; I work to address the root causes of trauma, including the enduring impacts of colonialism, systemic oppression, and intergenerational pain. This is why I've developed frameworks like the Empowering Families Program, which integrates ancestral wisdom, liberation psychology, and community-led interventions to support families in breaking cycles of harm.
My leadership journey is shaped by a blend of direct clinical practice and systems-level strategy. As the Founder and CEO of Amitie Wellness, Inc., I've built an organization that provides a wide spectrum of services, from ketamine-assisted therapy and cultural healing circles to organizational equity audits and policy advocacy. I am a published author, a certified trainer, and a trusted partner for agencies, nonprofits, and health systems seeking to elevate their care and build more culturally responsive programs. I am particularly proud of my work in developing training programs and providing qualified supervision to nurture the next generation of culturally competent clinicians.
Whether I am speaking at a conference, supervising a clinician, or working directly with a family, my core principles are always the same: collaboration, empowerment, and a deep respect for the resilience and wisdom that already exists within individuals and communities. I believe in meeting people where they are, in honoring their lived experiences, and in working alongside them to reclaim their power and write their own stories of healing.
Ultimately, my mission is to help create a world where mental health care is a site of liberation, not just symptom management; a space where every individual and family can not only recover but thrive on their own terms. I am honored to be part of this vital work.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jeanne Assinthe is an amazing therapist. She listens and you can tell she truly cares.
I’ve only met with her one time but so far she seems spot on!
My sessions with Jeanne have been very helpful and productive. The online quizzes and tools along with our follow up discussions during sessions helped me identify areas for growth while providing practical ideas and tools how to achieve my goals. She listens well and provides good insight. I highly recommend her.
Jeanne creates a space of safety and authenticity even across a computer screen. She keeps it real knows just the right questions to ask and truths to speak.
I cannot thank Jeanne enough. She is such a good listener and I feel valued. Thank you!
I have only met with Jeanne once, but I feel like she understands where I am coming from while also holding me accountable in love on the things she needs to point out to me. She helps by asking me questions that cause me to think more deeply about why I may feel or act the way that I do. She truly listens and brings a fresh perspective to what you are going through
I am beyond grateful that she is my therapist. She is helping me in so many ways.
I have had the best experience with Jeanne. Attentive, knowledgeable, warm and extremely competent. Would recommended her to everyone.
Jeanne is great to talk to. She has been right on point with my needs in her. She really opened my eyes to how I needed to better myself and thinking.
Since starting therapy with Jeanne, I’ve seen a big difference in the way that I think about and respond to certain situations in my life. She is not afraid to challenge my thoughts, which I really need! I’m so appreciative of the work she’s doing with me
She is doing a great job and I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you so much to her.
Jeanne always makes me feel like she is really paying attention to what I say. She has given me several tools I can use to address the challenges I'm trying to work through. It is so nice to feel like she wants to help.
She has been so great.
I was nervous at first because I haven’t really seen a therapist until recently. But, I really enjoyed my first video call with her. She helped me a lot within the hour. I highly recommend her.
Jeanne is amazing! She listen, offers great advice and cares about me! I always look forward to our weekly sessions!
Jeanne is one of the best therapists I've had the pleasure of working with. She has helped and continues to support me immensely.
Jeanne is amazing! I love that we were connected on this app. She is always available when I need her.
Excellent therapist.
Jeanne was amazing my first appointment. She sends me things that I should follow. I really love her.
Enjoyed my first session - a real good therapist !!!!
Relatable and gives it to me straight and provides tools for me to learn and use... really enjoying her style of counseling
I have actually already shared my therapists name and this link with 3 friends, I absolutely love the therapy I’m getting and appreciate so much how Jeanna checks in with me, sends me reminders and truly cares about me!! The other day during therapy she was entertaining my child while I meditated and that just truly stood out as someone who cares!! I’d refer her to anyone I know struggling.
Jeanne Assinthe is very calm and very patient with me. She is so supportive and she understands my problems in a short period of time. She assigns me tasks everyday which is very helpful.
In a short few weeks Jeanne has given me the start I needed to lift myself out of a tough space and get back to caring for my mental health.
Such a kind, mindful, skilled, and educated woman. You’ll know what I’m talking about once you start chatting with her. She made me feel better from the start. Without even working on the actual therapy yet. But it turns out that just having my emotions being validated, is such a helpful aspect of therapy in itself. She really gets you thinking in the right ways that don’t hurt you, and are effective to your development through healing and recreating a better life for yourself. I’m so glad I matched with her! I can’t wait to see how much more I will be learning and growing from my experience with her!
I have only had one session with Ms. Jeanne Assinthe. After my first session I feel hopeful. I am excited to see the outcome.
