I was raised in the South but I am of Hispanic heritage.
It has been a privilege in my many years of experience to work with clients struggling to find their way at a particular time in their life. I find it is often a state of worry, doubt, confusion or stress and yet they still have the hope that someone will reach out to help. I can help guide you across that bridge. In therapy, we together establish a collaborative and trusting relationship in which we will set specific goals that you want to address. I use a variety of successful treatment modalities to assist you in dealing with these challenges.

Hi! How are you doing? Looking for a therapist doesn’t have to mean you’re not doing well, but it’s also okay if you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or not yourself. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and feel like it’s time to get back into it, or you’ve hit a point in your life where you simply can’t go on without finally addressing whatever is holding you back. Is it debilitating anxiety, really low moods, or constant conflict with your loved ones? Maybe it’s deeper, like painful past experiences catching up to you or struggling to adapt to big changes, like becoming a parent or grieving a loss. I'm here to help as best as I can.

I've been "hyperactive" my entire life, and was diagnosed with ADHD in my 30's. It feels like a lifetime of trying over and over again, but nothing seems to stick. I get it. Our lives are the stories of how we live in the world, managing and adapting as we go. We will explore not only the “how” of your life and the challenges that it brings, but also the “why” of these same issues, so that you can finally make some progress and begin to live with greater fulfillment and ease of being in the world.

Life can feel really heavy sometimes—especially when you’re trying to hold it all together. Maybe you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or just off lately. Maybe you’re questioning your path, navigating a life transition, or feeling unsure about your relationships or career. Even if things look okay on the outside, you might be carrying a lot on the inside—uncertainty, pressure, self-doubt, or a constant sense that you’re not where you’re “supposed” to be. You don’t have to carry that alone.

Hi, I’m Kiki Jacobson. As a financial mental health therapist, I work with clients at the intersection of money & emotions. Many people struggle with finances because of stress, beliefs, & emotional patterns around money. I help to identify core money beliefs, increase emotional awareness around money-related triggers, reduce shame by normalizing emotional responses to money, improve flexible/empowered financial beliefs, increase financial literacy & build healthier habits around budgeting & decision making. By integrating spiritual awareness, financial decisions can support not only external stability, but also inner wellbeing :)

Hispanic and Latino Therapists
What makes a Hispanic and Latino therapist effective?
An effective Hispanic and Latino therapist can combine a culturally sensitive lens with proven therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They may have an understanding of cultural attitudes to therapy, including potential stigma, and can help a client navigate those concerns. Some clients may also appreciate a therapist who is bilingual and is comfortable conversing with the client in both English and Spanish. Languages spoken are indicated on a therapist’s directory profile.

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist is respectful and considerate of all groups, and may have specific expertise with individuals of a certain ethnicity. These considerations can help a client feel understood and can improve the therapeutic alliance. While some people think highlighting race and ethnicity could promote stereotypes and bias, most agree that knowledge about cultural differences enhances the alliance between therapist and client.

How can I recognize a therapist who has expertise working with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Successful therapy depends a great deal on the relationship between client and therapist. Start by asking the therapist about their overall approach to therapy. You may then wish to ask about the therapist’s educational background and any additional training in cultural sensitivity that they have undertaken.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Hispanic and Latino clients?
Ask a potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share this background or whether they’ve worked in these communities. If so, you may wish to ask them to elaborate on ways that they feel especially prepared to work with Hispanic and Latino clients. If they have not worked with such clients, they may know someone who has and be able to make a referral.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists?
The directory of Hispanic and Latino therapists includes providers who have identified their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists near you who identify as Hispanic and Latino is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
