Getting to know Jacob Tobey
You’re at a crossroads, feeling stuck in a body that’s perpetually "on guard." Whether you’re a Veteran weary from the armor of service, a Queer adult navigating the nuances of identity discovery, or a seeker tired of the cycle of anxiety, depression and addiction, you have reached a point where the pain of staying the same is greater than the fear of changing. Maybe you’ve talked about your trauma for years, but your nervous system is still in survival mode. You aren't just looking for a listener; you are ready for a metamorphosis and a life built on your own wants, not just your needs.
I specialize in Nervous System Reclamation. I help you move beyond the weight of survival using EMDR, Somatic Processing, DBT and Psychedelic Integration to build a biological foundation for hope. By the end of our first session, you’ll have a tool to shift your internal state. We don't just manage symptoms; we create the chrysalis for your transformation.
Healing isn’t a solo journey; you deserve a guide who understands the weight of transformation. Whether rebuilding life after service or finally unfolding into your true identity, I am here to hold space for your emergence. You don’t have to stay stuck in survival. Take the first step toward flight, reach out for a free consultation today.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me is a departure from traditional "sit and talk" therapy. If you have ever felt like you logically understand your trauma but your body still reacts as if the threat is happening right now, you are experiencing a biological "Logic Gap." In our sessions, we bridge that gap.
My Clinical Approach: The Bottom-Up Method Most therapy focuses on the "Top-Down" (changing your thoughts to change your feelings). I specialize in Bottom-Up Reclamation. We focus on the Amygdala—your brain's smoke detector—and the Vagus Nerve to settle your nervous system before we ever dive into the "story" of your past. We use evidence-based tools like EMDR, Somatic Processing, and DBT to complete the stress responses that are currently "stuck" in your body.
What to Expect in Our First Session I believe that insight without tools is just more information. By the end of our first hour:
We Map Your System: We will identify where you currently sit on the Polyvagal Ladder (whether you are in high-anxiety "Fight/Flight" or "Shut-down/Freeze").
Immediate Regulation: You will leave with at least one somatic tool to physically shift your internal state when you feel "hijacked" by a trigger.
My Style: Direct, Clinical, and Deeply Human I am not a passive observer. I am an active guide. I bring a blend of neurobiological expertise and lived-in empathy for the Veteran and LGBTQIA+ communities.
Whether we are utilizing Psychedelic Integration or Somatic Tracking, my goal is to help you shed the armor of survival that no longer serves you.
You aren't broken; you are a highly efficient survival machine that is ready for a new job. I am here to help you find it.
