Dr. Roberta Jacobs

Greetings

My name is Roberta Jacobs. I have a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision and it would be an honor to work with you during this part of your life's journey. I have been a mental health therapist for 18 years and I have seen a wide variety of clients during those years.I have helped many clients work through their presenting dilemma, putting the client back on their life's journey track. In the counselor/client partnership I have worked to resolve a variety of problems (such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD). My area of expertise centers around the many types of loss/grief and bereavement. Congratulations for stepping up to face the challenges that have kept you stuck in your life's journey.

I am a Person-Centered therapist who uses many different techniques to help my clients reach their full potential. To me the most important part of therapy is letting the client know that they are important by listening to their story and acknowledging the clients emotions. Through the counselor/client partnership the person's story helps the client to set realistic goals for their healing ,and directs me to toward the techniques that would work best with the client,

I make sure the client understands that there is no judgement in the counseling process. Our relationship is built on trust and respect for one another. The clients story is being told from their perspective and their feeIs are valid. I want the client to feel that the counseling arena is a safe place to process their behaviors and emotions. Through this building process the client will come to a better understanding of where they are coming from and how the client can change their negative thinking/behavior pattern.
