Jake Thiessen

Jake Thiessen, a seasoned marriage and family therapist with a PhD, understands that whether a couple is facing a relationship crisis or simply drifting apart, couple therapy serves as a powerful tool for meaningful change. With over 35 years of experience, he adeptly guides partners to halt the downward spiral of their relationship and begin building a healthier connection. His integrative and systemic approach to psychotherapy recognizes that individuals are multifaceted, encompassing physical, spiritual, emotional, cognitive, and relational dimensions. Jake believes effective therapy honors each of these aspects, fostering understanding, acceptance, and empathetic engagement crucial for true transformation. Deeply committed to couple therapy, he prefers working with both partners together, although he acknowledges that individual therapy can be necessary at times. Jake typically meets clients on a weekly basis and often recommends a longer, more intensive initial session to catalyze the therapeutic process. His extensive training and background also equip him to address the spiritual and sexual dimensions of personal and relational life, recognizing the essential role they play in achieving openness and intimacy.
