Self-doubt follows you everywhere, making even routine decisions feel heavy. You feel stretched thin, losing yourself in endless attempts to be everything for everyone. You find yourself overthinking even the smallest interactions, wondering if you said the right thing, if you came off as too much, or not enough. When someone takes longer to respond or their tone shifts slightly, it spirals into endless "what ifs"—"Did I upset them? Are they pulling away?" Relationships, which should feel safe and nurturing, feel fragile, as though they could shatter at any moment because of something you did, or worse—something you inherently are..

In 2020, I opened a private practice. I was blessed it grew to full capacity but dealt with sadness of turning people away due to no space. Frequently people shared their difficulties with finding therapy. I am tired of people and families, who are suffering emotionally not getting the help they need. So, I put together a group of several skilled clinicians. We operate by providing a therapy environment that is confidential and emotionally safe. We’re dedicated to making people feel comfortable and understood when discussing the most sensitive issues. Our goal is to ensure support that is empathetic and non-judgmental.

Something upsetting happened. Whether it happened recently or years ago, it still bothers you today. It's hard to talk about. Thoughts about it pop into your head more than you want them to. Things that remind you of what happened make you feel upset, too. There is a feeling of constantly being on edge, like you can never truly relax. You would like to be able to move on and live your life in peace, but you have not been able to yet. There is a part of you that believes you might not have to feel this way. A part that believes therapy could help you feel better and find more peace in your life. That part of you is right.

My name is E. Penny Jacobo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe many of our problems in life can be managed by changing our own thoughts and perspectives. We are usually more capable and powerful than we give ourselves credit for and I aim to help others find and use their own inner strength to solve their problems. I work with clients to identify cognitive distortions and change them. I also believe that taking the time to pause and be present at the moment is crucial to creating insight into our lives and our problems.

We all struggle with the difficult experiences life presents, experiences that are linked to life’s pleasures and joys. We can face loneliness and loss, feelings of unworthiness, unexpected changes and the stress that comes with demanding circumstances. I work with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, difficulties in work or school, feelings of being without meaning or purpose, feeling alone, and other forms of psychological pain. My goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore, find meaning, connect more deeply with others, and reconnect with the deepest parts of yourself.

I have a quiet approach to helping clients deal with loss, anxiety, and weathering transitions. I have been a licensed MFT for 35 years. In addition to treating those in locked psychiatric hospitals, I was the clinical director for two different residential treatment programs for over 25 years and have supervised over 100 interns. I can offer support for those dealing with grief issues, including infertility and death of a loved one. I am also available to help elderly clients and their families deal with decisions regarding independent living.

It takes courage to ask for help - people entering therapy are seeking change, either in the quality of their relationships or in their personal or professional satisfaction levels. Evolving requires us to step up, learn, and grow. It starts with a desire for change and a willingness to be uncomfortable. If you have this, then you have the most important piece to begin the process of therapy. I lead with curiosity and compassion. My style is nurturing, highly interactive and practical. I believe that examining the patterns of your life can help you understand how you have arrived in your present circumstances.

At its best, therapy is a ritual space where you can come to explore your inner world, develop a relationship with your intuition and make meaningful changes in your life. A true healing experience requires the integration of mind, body and spirit — to release the patterns that no longer serve you, and create neural availability for an expanded experience of self. My practice is rooted in the science and art of holistic healing, blending modern depth-oriented psychotherapy with somatic modalities to support you in the pursuit of well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

This thing called “anxiety” is taking over your life. Your mind never gets a break and you often think of the “worst case scenario”. You avoid, isolate or engage in safety behaviors in efforts to reduce the distress. Maybe you’ve experienced traumatic events that continue to haunt you. You feel stuck and hopeless. You are extremely preoccupied with your body image and the idea of gaining weight feels terrifying. You are exhausted and you want to feel better. Relief is possible and I can help you. I primarily treat adults and teens 16 + (services are provided in English and Spanish).

Often after completing the therapeutic process, many come to discover that they have more choices in their lives and report feeling more optimistic and alive.
