You're carrying more than most people know — and you're still showing up every day trying to figure it out. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship stuck on repeat, or a season of life that just feels heavier than it should. Maybe there's a spiritual dimension to your struggle that other therapists have glossed over. You don't need someone to hand you a worksheet. You need someone who actually gets your world — including the parts that matter most to you about who you are and what you believe.
I'm Jacob Sadan, LMFT — founder of EmotionFit in Encinitas. I trained clinically at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital and bring a psychodynamic, faith-integrated approach to therapy. I use empathy, humor, and directness to help clients gain real clarity — not just coping skills — in their lives and relationships.
I'm currently accepting new clients for in-person sessions in Encinitas and telehealth across California. Call for a free 15-minute consultation and let's figure out if we're a good fit. You've already done the hardest part by looking.
