Jess Hoffend

My name is Jess, and I am a graduate counseling intern. I earned my bachelor's degree in writing from St. John Fisher University and my master's degree in special education and literacy from SUNY Albany. I am currently completing my master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at St. Bonaventure University and expect to graduate in December 2026.

My professional experience includes work in elementary education, corporate instructional design, and nonprofit employment counseling. These varied experiences have helped shape a compassionate, well-rounded perspective that I bring into the therapy space. I strive to create a supportive, collaborative environment and am committed to providing evidence-based, person-centered care that is thoughtfully tailored to each individual’s needs.
