Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Marysville, KS

Not all clients arrive to therapy with the same issues or the same rooting point, so therapy needs to be unique to each individual. I provide a space to establish how clients see therapy happening and I am there to help guide the process in a healthy manner. The space belongs to the client, not me.

I find great meaning in working with clients who are struggling with past trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety. I enjoy working with people of all ages and from all different backgrounds. I believe the professional relationship between therapist and client should be collaborative, strengths-based, and genuine. I like to utilize different types of interventions, such as Guided Imagery, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused therapy, meditation, and mindfulness. I am always working on learning new modalities and activities to develop my therapeutic skills.

Broken and shattered pieces, put back together and bonded with gold. That is what I do. I help people of all ages who have endured hardships and trauma by aspiring them to find their strength and beauty; their gold.

I believe that we each have the power to create lasting changes in our life. It is my belief that we can often learn a great deal from our hardships and go on to live richer and fuller lives because of our experiences. Through my experience as a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor I have been amazed by the strength, perseverance and resilience of my clients. I am here to offer support and understanding, as well as to help you recognize your own unique strengths.

I am a retired veteran whose passion for helping people developed during my time in the military from working with Active-Duty Service Members and their families through the struggles that they faced on a regular basis. I work with individuals and couples dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and adjustment concerns to name a few. Regardless of how overwhelmed you may be feeling, there are people available who can help you to be able to manage and function during those times (even in those moments where we feel that it is not possible).

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health! Life can be stressful, unpredictable, chaotic, frustrating, and constantly throwing us curve balls. Sometimes we just need help processing our thoughts and feelings or making important life decisions. Other times, we may be struggling with mental illness, substance use, grief and loss, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, identity issues or other serious problems that are keeping us from living a happy and productive life. During these times, reaching out for help may feel scary or embarrassing.

Motherhood is beautiful; but from pregnancy to parenting, it’s not easy. Maybe you're holding your baby, wondering why you don’t feel “happy” yet. You’re afraid of not being "good enough" and you feel overwhelmed as you try to survive without sleep. Your expectations around labor and birth did not go to plan and you feel a loss that others don’t understand. Maybe you're pregnant now; filled with hormones, fear, and anxiety about the transition ahead. You want to prepare but don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re struggling to get pregnant, questioning and measuring everything, angry and afraid of hearing the word "infertility".

I work with clients of all ages. With younger populations I specialize in childhood anxiety, depression, neglect/abuse, children of divorce, foster care, anger management, and aggressive behaviors. With adults I use client centered and solution focused approaches to address symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and adverse experiences including trauma. I am trained in TF-CBT (trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and utilize those therapies with both children and adults. I look for behavioral and wholistic ways to improve functioning before suggesting medicinal interventions.

Hello, my name is Samantha Jacobs. I recognize that trauma often does not start with you. I believe that cycles of trauma can stop with you. I am passionate about working with clients who desire to break generational, personal and interpersonal cycles of addiction, anger, anxiety, depression, abuse, conflict and other dysfunctions that hold us back from being our best selves. As a therapist, this often means assisting children, teens, and adults with a whole family approach.
