This might look like mindfulness practices, CBT, breathwork, or a somatic approach when it makes sense and feels safe.
Difficult life transitions and troubling past traumas often result in symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, and coping through substance abuse. I work with my clients to get these symptoms under control, cultivate more self-awareness, and develop more capacity for self-compassion. We’ll frame current stressors in the context of the larger systems they operate in, and evaluate your existing coping strategies to separate what's working for you from what's not. Together, we'll shine a light on patterns of thinking and behaviors that keep you feeling stuck.

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.
