Marlene Scott-Bruner
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
El Cajon, CA 92021
Hi there, I'm Marlene! I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking not only symptom relief, but also deeper understanding and meaningful change. Together, we’ll identify the patterns that no longer serve you, build practical coping tools, and set goals that align with your values and the emotional life you want to experience — joy, peace, confidence, and/or connection. I provide a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly and be heard. My style is collaborative and supportive. I believe therapy works best when we work together to identify what matters most to you and then build practical, achievable steps.

Elizabeth Jacobo
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

My name is E. Penny Jacobo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I believe many of our problems in life can be managed by changing our own thoughts and perspectives. We are usually more capable and powerful than we give ourselves credit for and I aim to help others find and use their own inner strength to solve their problems. I work with clients to identify cognitive distortions and change them. I also believe that taking the time to pause and be present at the moment is crucial to creating insight into our lives and our problems.
