Through authentic connections, he aims to guide individuals in discovering what it means to live fully, thoroughly, and well. His practice fosters a safe and respectful environment where clients can feel heard and free to express themselves. Utilizing therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), and Existential approaches, Jacob encourages clients to explore their self-awareness, emotional experiences, and discomfort.
