My name is Tom Jacobson and I have been a licensed mental health counselor since 2022. I have worked with individuals from the ages of 9 to 83 . Most of those that I have seen have struggled with anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, chronic illnesses, and affirming ones gender, identity, or sexual orientation.
My approach to therapy is a positive based humanistic and person centered, which means that I can tailor my approach to therapy with the clients needs. Through the use of motivational interviewing a client will answer questions and find areas that they would like to work on. Other modalities that I use primarily are cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic, psychoeducation, and person centered. All of which can be used for individual, couples, and family therapy..I’ve also gone through level one certification for imago couples therapy. Imago is about reestablishing communication and connection between two people.
In our first session, I will gather background information to understand Client(s) better. Client will have the opportunity to ask questions to the clinician as well. A preliminary diagnosis will be formed and starting of a treatment plan so that we have a guideline of expectations to achieve during therapy.
