Getting to know Jakob Markovits

Hi there, I'm Jakob! Struggling, feeling anxious or down, or finding yourself in a place you didn't expect to be? I work with clients dealing with issues ranging from PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, boundaries, and interpersonal issues, and even coping with day to day stress through a collaborative client-centered approach to accomplish their therapy goals. My focus My clients often find themselves at a transition point in their lives and need assistance working through a period of change. Whether dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction or major life event, I assist my clients with identifying their immediate, short and long term goals, and help them to gain the tools to be successful. My approach I use a collaborative and evidence based approach to meet my client's needs. From EMDR and Written Exposure Therapy to reduce triggers and process trauma, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reshape unhelpful thoughts, to mindfulness-based and somatic techniques to calm the system, I work with my clients to best reach their unique goals. My communication style I use clear communication as the start of all treatment. I am trauma-informed in my practice, and use a non-judgmental approach. I provide an environment that is safe, collaborative, and openly deals with any issues that may impact treatment. I am also naturally curious while respecting my client's boundaries. My journey to mental healthcare I was first drawn to the field of mental health after seeing family, friends, an colleagues struggle to adapt to health complications, major life changes and events outside of their control. After a previous career outside of mental health, I changed my career focus so that I could be a resource to others who had similar struggles.
