Jakob Nelson PhD BCB
Licensed Psychologist
I try to infuse a blend of optimism and realism to empower and motivate my clients. It’s important for me to provide a space where individuals can express themselves freely and honestly, without fear of criticism or judgment. In therapy we will work towards real, sustainable change and development of effective coping strategies to help you find ways to understand and work through your issues that may seem stressful, overwhelming, or even hopeless. While much of what we discuss will be serious, I do have a sense of humor that I don't leave at the door. I honor each individual’s unique healing journey. Everyone needs guidance at times, to help learn to navigate the ups and downs of life, and tap into the inner strength that lies within you.
Whether experiencing emotional conflict or desiring personal growth, connecting to one's inner resourcefulness can facilitate insight in order to better navigate life's challenges and transitions.
I use a combination of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, to help you regain control of your life. If you're ready to take the first step towards healing, please visit my website or email to book an appointment today.
