Life brings challenges that can be helped through obtaining caring and confidential support. As a compassionate and open-minded therapist, I strive to create a trusting and collaborative environment where clients can express themselves honestly without fear of judgment or rejection. My approach is to empower clients to have the confidence to make better life decisions for themselves and their families. I support clients as they process trauma, and help guide them towards recognizing and adjusting destructive life patterns that are interfering with their overall well-being.

Life can be a difficult journey at times, and during those times it can be helpful to have someone who can help by sharing the load. Regardless of what type of struggle or transition you are dealing with, we can work together to help you learn new ways of managing those tough times, which will allow you to develop skills for future reference as you continue to travel through life. Since I was a young child in Southeast Asia I have helped others, and it continues to be a passion of mine to this day. As a nurse and a counselor I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life including children through mature adults.

Welcome to Medallion Therapy, where healing and innovation meet through the convenience of Telehealth services. "A failure is not a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying." This poignant reflection from B.F. Skinner resonates deeply with those grappling with addiction—a challenge that is often misperceived as a string of personal failures rather than the medical condition it truly is. Addiction's complexity can confuse even those closest to us—family and friends who watch helplessly, misconstruing the situation due to its intricate and inconsistent nature.

My experience in these areas offers my clients a comprehensive evaluation with extensive recommendations for how to manage any diagnoses discovered throughout the evaluation process.

Hi! I'm Lisa Jacobson, LPC. I think of therapy as a professional service offering a safe place to grow, beyond the traditional idea of ‘the patient on the couch.’ My natural style as a therapist is to balance warm support and empathy, with gentle, honest words that will challenge you to learn new tools to help gain agency in your life. I like working with clients to explore deeper aspects of their being in order to find more meaning and purpose. I do not work from a medical model or provide clinical mental health services. I focus on adult development and learning to live with awareness, both of which can have their afflictions.

It can be difficult to navigate life stressors with the everyday bustle of life. Sometimes those stressors grow and become larger problems that seem unmanageable, overwhelming, and you may want to give up. Working with you through these crises and getting life back on track is exactly what I would like to do for those who need it most. Living your life worth living is my goal and getting you to that goal is the center of a therapeutic relationship with me.

Transgender Therapists
As a gender-diverse individual, why might I want to see a therapist who is also gender diverse?
A trans or gender-diverse client may want to see a therapist who is also trans or gender diverse because the client may feel safer sharing their experiences and more confident that the therapist will understand, validate, and support them. But trans or gender-diverse clients can also benefit from therapy with cisgender therapists; this is a personal decision based on the connection between the client and the therapist, and if that connection is strong, therapy will be successful.
What if I cannot find a therapist who shares my gender identity?
Therapy can still be effective if a therapist does not share a client’s gender identity; a large body of research indicates that the most important factor in successful therapy is the therapeutic alliance. A therapist can also be interviewed for sensitivity and competence on gender identity and expression to ensure they possess appropriate knowledge and skills. Many therapists have excellent training and extensive experience working with gender-diverse clients, and that expertise can be invaluable despite a therapist not sharing the same firsthand experiences.
How can I recognize a good therapist for working with gender-diverse clients?
An experienced therapist should be able to help clients explore their gender identity and expression, alleviate discomfort related to their gender identity, treat mental health challenges and trauma, address existing relationships and communication with family members and loved ones, and determine the next steps pertaining to nonmedical or medical gender-affirming interventions. To recognize a good therapist, clients can ask about these topics and explore their comfort and connection with the clinician.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience working with transgender clients?
Clients should feel comfortable asking therapists directly about their experience working with transgender or gender-diverse clientele. For example, clients may ask about the therapist’s training and education with regard to gender identity, how many trans clients they’ve worked with in the past, and what sorts of matters were discussed. You may wish to inquire how a therapist specifically supports the needs of transgender clients or clients questioning their gender identity. A good clinician who is nonetheless not the right fit for you is often happy to make referrals to others based on the concerns you articulate in a preliminary conversation.
