Therapists in Crescent City, CA

My practice is relationship focused. I particularly enjoy working with couples and have found that if couples are willing to put the work in, great strides can be made towards healing and connection. I have completed two levels toward certification in the Gottman method of couples therapy and have also done training in the Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. In my work with couples and individuals, I incorporate mindfulness-based therapy.

Hi there, I'm Jake, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have 7 years of comprehensive experience working with at-risk children, young adults, and families, as well as extensive experience treating a wide range of mental health diagnoses including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma disorders, and personality disorders in the context of both individual treatment and family systems. I cater my approach to your needs and may use psychoanalysis and psychodynamics, dialectical and cognitive behavioral therapy, or other useful modalities. I am looking forward to meeting you and witnessing your journey toward healing.

Would you like support and guidance for your journey in healing and gain deeper understanding and connections with yourself and others? I specialize in working with people who are experiencing stress, anxiety and depression. I offer a wide variety of transformational tools and therapeutic orientations for your journey towards healing. The modalities that inform my Therapy practice include Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Mindfulness Work and Expressions through art. I draw from recent studies in cognitive neuroscience and brain development.

My collaborative approach is to uncover the solutions that will best promote healthy and authentic relationships, by increasing meaningful communication, reducing anxiety, and successfully navigating transitions. I work with individuals and couples, and within the dynamic of families and business systems, to build on and enhance strengths.

I am so glad that you are considering starting therapy! As you browse around to see who you think will be a good fit, thoroughly read through the profiles and do not be afraid to ask questions.

Psychology has come a long way. As someone who has graduated within the past five years, with current knowledge in the field as well as life experience, I enjoy applying multicultural counseling, relational systems therapy, and trauma informed care for clients with all backgrounds, issues and concerns. Every client is a unique combination of past experiences, current challenges and strengths, and future goals and dreams, and I commit to fully helping clients understand the issues that they face with support, compassion, and information for the help they seek in therapy.

I have been working with people for 30 years and look forward to helping clients create healthy relationships with me, themselves and with those in their lives. I enjoy working with individuals from all racial and cultural backgrounds who are motivated to make changes in their lives; to reduce painful reactions; and increase their understanding of what makes them feel happy, strong and self assured. I encourage clients to do homework assignments in between therapy sessions, in an effort to help clients take ownership of their process, and learn coping skills that will last beyond treatment.

I believe that the therapy process is a practice of paying attention to what is actually happening - it sounds simple, but this is actually a deeply profound and challenging stance to maintain towards life. The work we do in therapy involves bringing elements of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, how we relate to ourselves and to others, and how we move through the world, from the darkness of the unconscious into the light of consciousness where we can take a look at them. We do not have to struggle and toil in order to implement change in our lives.
