Getting to know Jacob Wasserman

Jacob Wasserman of LifeStance Health helps teens and adults throughout New York build greater self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience, and navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical support. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing individual therapy, he creates a welcoming, collaborative space where clients can openly explore difficult emotions, relationship patterns, identity concerns, and past experiences without judgment. Jacob works with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and PTSD/trauma, while also supporting clients through a range of additional mental health concerns. Jacob is especially passionate about helping clients process trauma, explore gender identity, and develop healthier ways to manage overwhelming emotions. He understands that emotional pain often develops from experiences of feeling misunderstood, disconnected, or unsupported, and he works closely with clients to foster self-compassion and meaningful personal growth. His approach emphasizes helping clients feel more grounded, emotionally aware, and confident in navigating both present struggles and future challenges. Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Jacob tailors treatment to each individual's goals and experiences. He has experience supporting members of the LGBTQ+ community and recognizes the importance of creating an affirming therapeutic environment where clients feel safe bringing their full identities into the therapy process. Jacob believes therapy is not simply about "fixing" problems, but about gaining insight, healing unresolved wounds, and building tools for lasting emotional wellness. Outside of his clinical work, Jacob enjoys hiking, longboarding, rock climbing, cooking, puzzling, and reading manga. His curiosity, creativity, and appreciation for balance outside the therapy room help shape his warm and authentic approach to care.
