You've done everything right-and you're still hurting. You're the one people depend on. You manage, you hold it together, you cope. But under the surface, there's a part of you still carrying the pain of old wounds-wounds that never got the care they needed. I'm Dr. Karl Jacobs, a clinical psychologist with over 35 years of helping folks untangle the effects of early trauma. Whether the past involved neglect, emotional abuse, or just never feeling safe to be fully yourself, the impact linger-in your relationships, your body, your sense of worth.
I blend traditional therapy with EMDR and somatic techniques, so we don't just talk about healing-we actually DO it. My approach is warm, grounded, and no-nonsense. If you're ready to stop managing and start transforming, I'm here to help. This is your space to finally put yourself first.
It's not easy to reach out for help. Maybe you've been carrying your pain for so long it feels like a personality trait. Maybe you've been to therapy before and it didn't go deep enough. Whatever brings you here, I want you to know that change IS possible- and you don't have to figure it all out alone. Feel free to reach out with questions or concerns.
