Accepting Teletherapy Appointments Only. This world is challenging and it is normal to have periods of struggle. I help clients move through stressful times and life challenges by developing healthier relationships and emotional patterns.

I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each individual client.

WHY THERAPY? Finding a therapist or counselor can be an anxiety-provoking pursuit. In my experience, people seek treatment for a wide variety of reasons, such as depression , anxiety/stress, relationship problems, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, and so on. Seeking therapy is an act of maturity and strength! It says that you recognize that you are unhappy or dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and that you ultimately want to function and feel better.

What do you picture when you think of starting therapy? I've found it useful to begin by exploring together at your pace what's brought you here. Maybe it's something that feels unsatisfying or limiting. You may or may not know what you want for yourself, and what keeps you from getting it. Through our work together, we will begin to discover what isn't working for you and why. We will identify goals and begin to experiment with actions to overcome the roadblocks and old ways of being that no longer serve you.

For many people, one of the hardest parts of therapy is picking up the phone and making the first appointment. I aim to help you over this hurdle by providing you an empathic and accepting environment.

Through therapy, I can help you make positive changes in behavior, thinking, and feeling, improve your relationships, and better your sense of self.

My practice is informed by extensive training in trauma, attachment and psychodynamic theories and a deep belief in the healing capacity of the therapeutic relationship.

It is a privilege to be a therapist because patients entrust you with closely held and often pained parts of themselves, along with parts of themselves they are excited about and proud of. I see our work as the creation of a place where these different parts of the patient's self can come into the room and be acknowledged and recognized. Therapy is also a place where you, as the patient, can use my listening ear to help you withstand pain and anxiety. Please see my website: zanjacobusinsightpsychotherapy.com
