Dr. Jacob Nacheman

I am an integrative psychodynamic psychotherapist with a relational foundation; I recognize how societal expectations, role rigidity, and trauma can impact well-being. As a queer man, I recognize and prioritize the intersectionality of identities, pluralistic awareness, and multicultural humility. My approach often blends mindfulness, acceptance, attachment, and cognitive principles where indicated. I work with a lot of neurodivergent people and emerging/young adults; queer folks, and straight folks. I'm dedicated to supporting clients in developing their relationships, self-love, patience, resilience, transitions, & adaptability.

My focus includes self-concept & identity development, acceptance, individuation, and relational growth (i.e. finding and maintaining fulfilling partnerships and friendships). I have a background in human development across the lifespan (cognitive, social, and emotional), and am experienced in working with children/adolescents, college students, and adults.

I work with clients to identify how past experiences, injuries, and relational patterns play into daily struggles and enduring anxiety/depression. We illuminate how certain defenses against the self, others, and the world (which may have once been useful coping/survival mechanisms) may no longer be efficient, and rather generate blockades against self-actualization and relational growth.

If you are new to therapy, looking for a change of pace, or feel that your previous experiences lacked a sense of connection, acceptance, or collaboration, let's have a brief chat to see if working together will be a good fit.
