She helped me get through a hard time. I thought I would be alone but it was nice to know that I had someone i can talk to who understood my worries and helped me ground myself and find solutions.

Janet Jacobs is a skilled, experienced and receptive clinician. She is also culturally sensitive. She provides careful listening in combination with effective interventions. I've never had a therapist combine inner child work and mindfulness so powerfully. feel very supported by Janet even when I can't come to session as my best self. I feel like she understands that who I am in session, while working on my 'stuff' isn't how I necessarily walk around in the world. I feel like she sees me clearly and I love our sessions.

Janet Jacobs is the real deal. She knows how to access the core issues within her clients and then compassionately finds a way to draw out the obstacles that are impeding the patient’s ability to improve their life. I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Jacobs because she has helped me immensely, and I know that our continued journey together will only improve my outlook, self-esteem, and my ability to move forward in life to achieve the goals I originally wanted. Thank you, Janet, for being such a wonderful counselor and sounding board for your patients. You are the model counselor that I wish others could be molded from.
