Therapists in Arlington, KS

Hello, I am Amy Jacobs and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychotherapist. Being in this field for the past three decades, I hold a perspective which honors that each person is unique, worthy of dignity and respect while having a need to be understood within one’s individual life and experiences. I find that we all naturally seek to move towards growth and evolvement, towards meaning and purpose, yet sometimes we may struggle in seeking and understanding this in the various life path’s we may be on. Much of my professional walk has focused on fostering growth in the lives of many children and youth.

Therapy is a process and for that you need a good partner. I like to look at the postitive side of psychology and help people see in them what is already there. People come to therapy for so many different reasons and it is my goal as a clinician to act as a guide for them to reach their goals.

My practice is called Happy Life Therapies. I believe we can all live a happy life. Wherever you are in your journey, I will meet you there. You can tell me your greatest hopes, your darkest fears, your deepest shame and regrets. Together we will find your way to peace and happiness. When you need help moving on, when you need a sounding board, inspiration, or someone to sit with you I am that therapist. Trauma, divorce, sexual abuse, fostercare placement, grief, body issues, I can help you. I am a listener.

I believe that in order to get the most out of therapy, the client needs to work in collaboration with the therapist. Our childhood and current stresses can affect our mental health. I work with clients ages 5 and up. I work with family systems that are experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, ODD, trauma, and relationship and family issues. I have been trained in sand tray therapy and EMDR.

If you are looking for someone with experience, who is open-minded, and client-centered, then I am the therapist for you. I believe clients are the experts when it comes to how they are feeling, and what they need. I am here to provide the necessary tools for a person to become happy and healthy. In the past 25 years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families. I prefer to work with individuals between the ages of 14 to 100. I have extensive training in domestic violence and sexual assault, women's issues, addictions, mental health, and loss and grief. I also enjoy working with couples.

As an LCMFT (Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist), my clinical training enables me to treat a variety of issues such as, but not limited to: anxiety, depression, child behavioral problems, anger, ADHD, trauma, abuse and neglect, adjustment issues, as well as relational issues involving couples, individuals and families. Honoring each person's unique perspective, I seek to help children, adolescents, adults, couples and families work through difficult feelings, enhance their abilities to cope with stress, change destructive patterns, grieve loss of all kinds, adjust to change and find a renewed sense of belonging in life, work and relationships.

I have extensive experience working with women and matters that are unique to women. My clients have often dealt with depression, anxiety, infertility, infidelity, miscarriage, post-partum, and adoption. They often find themselves in the midst of relationship problems, life-stressors, anxiety, or grief. Others have come to recognize that past trauma (childhood or other) is affecting their current relationships and personal outlook on life. Women desiring to heal and grow find themselves very comfortable with my relaxed, non-judgmental and compassionate attitude.

Life can be tough! Do you feel like you had it all together & then someone pulled the rug from under you? Maybe you have previously experienced trauma & thought you moved past it. Now you find yourself feeling frustrated, isolated, & alone. Maybe you are finding yourself triggered by your kids, partner, parents, or friends. You love them, but the stressors have caused you to want to take a month-long vacation from them! You have tried dealing with your anxiety, anger, stress, all on your own but find yourself struggling to manage day to day responsibilities and stay afloat - yelling too much, working too much.

Loneliness. Grief. Anxiety. Pain. Stress. Conflict. Depression. Change. Is life giving you more than you can handle? You don't have to go through this alone. I strive to provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment to allow you to explore, process, grieve, and restore your sense of self and belonging in the world. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am holistically-minded and believe relationships are a source of healing, whether that's a relationship with a sibling, parent, friend, significant other, yourself, or a spiritual being. I look at problems in the context of the whole person and what matters most to you.

I focus on treating individuals, couples and families in pursuit of relief from various emotional, behavioral and relational struggles. I seek to empower clients as they reshape and restore their lives following emotional hurts, changes in mood, traumas and other life-altering circumstances. I'm committed to assisting clients as they build identity, live with integrity and achieve sustainable change. I desire to journey with clients as they gain personal insights, practice self-compassion and step into their individual strengths in order to reach a space of hope, healing and harmony with self, others and society.

I work from a holistic approach believing that everyone possesses inner skills and strengths. I assist in building upon those strengths while empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. My desire is to meet clients where they are in life while collaborating with them on their therapeutic goals. Drawing to my faith, I use it to shape my approach with clients.

Hello! I believe the order and steps taken in therapy matter, walking through issues at your pace and in your timing. I work toward: integration of the person as a whole, considering and working through ineffective patterns and beliefs, walking up to, and developing skills to regulate emotionally and working to rewire/reprogram the ineffective neurological pathways established in the brain.

Feeling overwhelmed, sad, frustrated, or anxious? Do you want to get better, but wonder if you can and where to start? It's hard when you feel like a situation has become more than you can handle, or what you have been doing to cope isn't working anymore. You are not alone and I'm here to help. Our work together can help you improve your relationships, gain new perspectives, feel better about yourself, develop healthier coping, and stabilize your mood. One of my greatest joys is witnessing growth and change. I provide a safe and confidential space, and I would be honored to collaborate with you to help you meet your personal goals.

We all may try to do our best at any given moment, but sometimes our best falls short of our intentions. Individuals, marriages and families hit trouble spots. Trying to manage these times can be daunting. Sometimes we create our own problems and sometimes other people cause them. Often, well-meaning attempts at solutions make situations worse. Despite the debilitating effects of our efforts, we often continue doing what is familiar because that's all we know to do. There are better ways to achieve the results you seek. Together we work on strategies that allow you to address the roots of your difficulties.

I became a therapist for one simple reason: I love people! For me, it is not a job, but a calling. Our mission as therapists/counselors/helpers and healers is to come along side those who have fallen, and help them up; to walk with them on their journey and hopefully assist them by giving insight and understanding of their pasts and presents which will provide them hope for their futures. It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative effort, where both my clients and I work together in forming realistic treatment plans, complete with attainable goals.
