Hi! I’m Joe Zakutney - founder of Brain & Being and an operator turned licensed therapist.
After 10+ years working in Tech, I shifted my focus from company metrics to supporting the humans behind them. I saw brilliant people burning out - not because they lacked skill, but because they lacked the systems, self-awareness, and spaces for honest reflection needed to sustain their pace.
I built Brain & Being to bridge that gap.
I combine evidence-based psychotherapy with practical tools and candid conversations to help you perform and feel your best. My mission is simple: to help you thrive as a human, not just as a professional.
*Joe is currently supervised by Dr. Jane McCourt, LCSW
