Hello, my name is Samantha Jacobs. I recognize that trauma often does not start with you. I believe that cycles of trauma can stop with you. I am passionate about working with clients who desire to break generational, personal and interpersonal cycles of addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, abuse, conflict and other dysfunctions that hold us back from being our best selves. As a therapist, this often means assisting children, teens, and adults with a whole family approach.

Accepting new clients. Counseling is a space used to move into deeper connection with yourself and to release patterns of being that no longer serve you. I believe when you gain self-regulation skills, self-awareness, and self-compassion, then you can create the change you seek and experience more freedom/ease. My hope is that you feel safe and fully accepted in my presence so you can explore the more painful parts of your life and honor your strengths. My approach to counseling is client driven and collaborative. I use mindfulness, somatic-based, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed interventions with clients.

Life is full of battles and challenges that can sometimes feel impossible to face alone. I offer individual and family therapy to help my clients overcome life's challenges and feel empowered. I have found that not one theory of therapy works for all clients. For that reason, I have studied and practiced cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy as best suited for each client. I also have a level III certification in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy.

My practice is primarily focused on providing affirmative care for those who are exploring their gender identity – across the lifespan and along the gender spectrum. If you are seeking support around issues of gender identity, I will provide you with a supportive relationship - without expectation, agenda or judgment - within which to explore whatever questions you may be asking. My role in this process is not to define your identity for you, but to provide the space within which you can do that for yourself.
