Heather Jakub, a Licensed Professional Counselor with an MEd, excels in guiding preteens, teens, and adults through life's challenges. She believes that every action we take influences our mood, and in turn, our mood shapes our actions. With a wealth of experience in supporting individuals and families, Heather employs a comprehensive and holistic treatment model centered around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She takes the necessary time to listen deeply to each person's unique story, helping them understand how their thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes impact their emotional well-being and behaviors. By fostering an environment of growth, Heather empowers clients to make positive changes and develops their skills to navigate the ups and downs of life. She specializes in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma, with a particular focus on anger management and assisting children and adolescents during times of divorce or loss. Additionally, she works with adults to help them disentangle from childhood conflicts and traumas, enabling them to fully embrace life without the shadows of the past affecting their present. Passionate about creative expression, Heather enjoys integrating art therapy into her practice, inspired by her background as an owner of a paint-your-own-pottery studio at the beach. Outside of her professional life, she cherishes time with her family, often engaging in activities such as swimming, making art, painting, or walking her beloved dog, Noel.
