As a former Division I swimmer, I experienced firsthand the unique pressures of being an elite athlete and bring this background to my work with teens managing disordered eating behaviors and body image distress. My therapy style is warm, energetic, and authentic, and I prioritize trust and safety in the therapeutic space.

Anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the weight of past experiences don't just cause pain - they shape how you see yourself and how you show up with the people you love. If you've found yourself caught in the same patterns, wondering why things feel harder than they should, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, psychodynamic therapy offers something most approaches don't: the chance to get at what's actually driving the difficulty, not just manage it. I work with adults, teens, and children in Encinitas and Vista, and I'm currently accepting new patients.

Ronda Jacobs LMFT Accepting New Clients
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
1 Endorsed
Vista, CA 92081
My name is Ronda Jacobs LMFT. I offer an authentic healing person centered approach, treating the whole person, not just your symptoms. My goal is to make you feel safe, comfortable, and like you are speaking to a friend; someone who knows and understands you on a deeper level that can help unlock your truest potential.
Sometimes we need an outside observer and a safe space to explore parts of ourselves in order to heal, evolve, and gain perspective. I believe in divine intervention, and that we all have an “inner voice” or intuition that whispers guidance or insights about a situation, including our own emotions and needs.

The tools that you need to heal are already within you. My main approaches are EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Mindfulness. Mindfulness invites relaxation into the body while EMDR allows you to process the past without feeling triggered. Many of our present problems such as low self esteem, relationship challenges, anxiety, and depression have deep roots within our past. EMDR works to address the problem from its root by challenging the negative messages that we have received from childhood and replacing them with new positive truths. These truths are then integrated into how we view ourselves and the world.
