Jacob is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Missouri and Arkansas with nearly 11 years of experience in the mental health field working with children, adolescents, and adults. Jacob offers insight-oriented psychotherapy for those looking to expand their understanding of themselves and their relationships. Jacob also provides treatment for difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational and family challenges, as well as working with parents to improve and deepen their relationship with their children. 

Jacob’s approach to psychotherapy is both warmly collaborative and challenging. The therapeutic relationship is one of the most significant factors in therapy and it’s built on trust, consistency, transparency, and safety. The first few sessions will be about building trust and familiarity, creating a plan for how to best utilize therapy, and then together, beginning to explore the challenges in your life that feel hard to manage alone. 

Taking the first step toward healing can feel daunting. Much of therapy is slowing down to reflect on ourselves to understand our experiences, work through painful feelings, and create new meaning in our lives. Therapy can offer opportunities to understand and know yourself on a deeper level to live a life that is richer, more vibrant, and connected. 

"I’m really glad you’re here! Reaching out takes courage, and I’m here to offer a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings and where you’ll be met with empathy, honesty, and support wherever you are on your journey."
