Ronda Jacobs LMFT Accepting New Clients
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
1 Endorsed
Vista, CA 92081
My clinical experience includes counseling adolescents, adults, couples, and families in various mental health settings.
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.

Kendra Claire Wilhelm
Marriage & Family Therapist, BS, MA, LMFT
4 Endorsed
Vista, CA 92083
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, integrating somatic therapy, parts work (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR.
You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them, especially in relationships. Many of the brave individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that leave them feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. Some notice patterns around self-worth, body image, or a strong inner critic, while others feel the impact of past experiences or trauma. Often, one part understands what’s happening while another feels overwhelmed or reactive. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for something that helps things truly shift toward a deeper sense of wholeness in mind, body, heart, and soul.

Though I enjoy working with a variety of clients and issues, my special interest is working with families and their children/adolescents on the many issues families face today.
Are you wanting to feel differently or have something change in your life but dont know how to get there? Sometimes we just need help generating the internal and external life we crave. I believe that early relationships in our life affect the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people we care about. It even changes the way our brains develop and personalities express themselves! I use a variety of interventions to support you in uncovering patterns that are causing problems, heal, and learn new ways of being. You have many strengths just waiting to be used. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.

You are here because you are hurting and want to heal. Healing is possible and you deserve love and acceptance for just being you- your full authentic self. I have been treating anxiety, depression, identity, codependency, eating disorders, low self esteem and relationships issues in children, teens and adults since 2007. My therapeutic style is often more directive, as I see myself as a part of your therapeutic process-not a quiet observer.
