My website

Hello! My name is Jacob Benites, and I’d love to accompany you on your journey toward a more fulfilling life. If your mind feels like a relentless critic, if anxiety keeps you stuck in overthinking and self-doubt, you’re not alone. I love helping people untangle from anxious thoughts, connect with their values, and move toward meaningful change. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, because you aren’t broken. It’s about learning to work with your mind, rather than against it, so you can be fully present in your life and create a future that aligns with who you truly are.

I use ACT to help you stop battling your thoughts and start building a life that matters. I enjoy working with anxiety and other challenges, guiding you to change your relationship with discomfort and move toward your goals with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.

The world can feel unkind, and you don't have to struggle alone. You are worthy of kindness, support, and safety. Whether you’re feeling in a rut, or you can’t seem to slow down, I want to support you in doing what matters, so you can be fully present in your life. You deserve it! I hope to hear from you!

I primarily focus on using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help improve your relationship with your own thoughts and feelings. This means helping you build skills to support yourself and staying in the present moment. I draw from different styles such as CBT and DBT where it is helpful and will adapt to meet your needs. All therapy I do is trauma-informed and person-centered.
