Getting to know Amanda Jacobson

Amanda Jacobson, LMFT, specializes in working with children, teens, and parenting skills. My approach is flexible and creative to best serve my clients' needs, goals, and preferences. I draw from various theoretical approaches, including client-centered therapy, CBT, play therapy, art therapy, and solution-focused therapy. These methods help clients address current challenges and build coping skills so they can return to living their best lives. I support children and teens facing anxiety, self-esteem concerns, depression, trauma, grief, life adjustment issues, stress management, school stress, behavioral challenges, ASD, and social skill development. I also work with parents to help them navigate these struggles alongside their children. My goal is to create a safe, warm, and inviting space where clients can move at their own pace. I incorporate creativity and art therapy exercises to help clients express, process, and communicate their feelings in ways that feel comfortable and safe. I also use social-emotional learning skills to help build coping strategies throughout therapy. With 25 years of experience in child development and 13 years supporting mental health in schools, I have always found joy in helping children, teens, and families through difficult emotional times. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology from Dominican University of California. As a mother of two girls, I deeply understand the challenges youth face today. I am passionate about being part of your healing process and helping you and your child move forward. I believe goal setting should be personalized to what matters most to each client. I regularly collaborate with clients to track, monitor, and adjust therapy goals to ensure progress and relevance.
