Seth Jacklin, CSW

“Seth inspires through a poised, measured, yet deeply caring nature… I could envision someone who will make a profound impact in the mental health profession.” -Barry

Seth brings years of dedicated experience at Telos, along with a deep passion for helping adolescents and families navigate complex emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. He specializes in working with youth and young adults, with particular expertise in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum, those struggling with substance use concerns, and those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and family system disruptions. His work combines clinical precision with a highly relational, individualized approach that meets each student where they are while helping them move toward meaningful growth and greater independence.

Seth understands that for many neurodiverse individuals, growth is not about changing who they are, but about building insight, developing practical skills, and strengthening connections with the world around them. He is especially effective in helping students on the autism spectrum improve emotional regulation, communication, social functioning, and self-confidence. In addition, he has advanced training in supporting youth with executive functioning challenges and slower processing speeds, helping them develop strategies for organization, planning, emotional regulation, decision-making, and daily life success.

Equally important is his work with families. Seth places a strong emphasis on family systems, recognizing that lasting change occurs when the entire system evolves. He helps families better understand their child’s needs, shift patterns of interaction, and build healthier, more supportive relationships that extend well beyond treatment. His ability to integrate family work with individual treatment creates a foundation for sustainable, long-term progress.

Grounded in his Master of Social Work (MSW) training, Seth’s approach is both thoughtful and holistic. He prioritizes health and wellness across all domains of life and views social connection as a primary driver of healing and resilience. Whether helping a young person navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, autism spectrum-related challenges, or executive functioning difficulties, Seth focuses on building practical skills while fostering deeper self-understanding and stronger relationships.

His ability to connect authentically with students, while also guiding families through meaningful change, makes him a trusted and impactful member of the Telos team.

Outside of his professional work, Seth maintains an active lifestyle and enjoys playing basketball, running, and skiing—reflecting the same balance and commitment to wellness that he encourages in those he serves.
