💙 Warm 💡 Solution-oriented 🥇 Empowering 🤝 CollaborativeWhy Yocheved Jacobsohn, LMHC chose to be in the helping profession
Since I was young, I found myself in the role of listener and helper. Watching people facing challenges throughout my life, I felt a strong pull to learn the best way to help and support them. I went on to study psychology throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies and feel privileged to listen to people’s innermost thoughts, feelings, fears, and hopes. Through my experiences of working in schools, agencies, and private practice I have come to work with people from all different walks of life and my appreciation for this field has never stopped growing.
Yocheved Jacobsohn, LMHC's approach
At times, life can seem overwhelming leaving you feeling anxious, stressed, and helpless. While these are normal human emotions, anxiety can sometimes begin affecting day to day life, leaving you stuck in patterns of avoidance or feeling like nothing will ever change.
I specialize in helping women that struggle with anxiety, utilizing a personalized approach based of understanding each person's unique experience. My approach is about breaking down those overwhelming thoughts and feelings into manageable steps, helping you understand what is triggering the anxiety and helping you regain confidence and control over your life.
In addition to my expertise in anxiety treatment, I also specialize in helping parents regain confidence in their parenting role and nurture an understanding of themselves and their children. By offering support and practical guidance, I empower parents to navigate the challenges of parenthood with renewed clarity and confidence.
I use an integrative approach in my work, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with ACT, CPT, Gestalt, and IFS to tailor the treatment to your unique needs.
