Getting to know Lavelle Jacobson
Hi there, I'm Lavelle!
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me a heart hearer, authenticity seeker, and core strengthener (not the ab kind!). I help people who long to feel free to be fully themselves and still be loved but fear they aren't worthy or that their voice won't be heard. I work with clients discovering the things they were taught-emotionally, religiously, spiritually, relationally, or lifestyle-wise-that they are starting to question. I support them in finding the courage to create their own path so they can have the relationships and life they deserve. Sometimes that requires subtle shifts, other times significant ones, but always in the quest for living THEIR lives, not the ones others expected. From my own journey and working with women everywhere, I know you are worth it, lovable, and your voice MATTERS-our world needs it. I believe your authentic self is your best and happiest self. Courageous, authentic women will change the world. If you want more courage and authenticity and support along the way, I hope you sign up today.
I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Brandman University.
My approach
Therapy with me includes various approaches, but here are the basic values I hold. To feel better, we get to:
1. Feel it... all of it. Living authentically means feeling all feelings, including the ones we usually run from.
2. Trust your gut... always. We were made to live OUR lives, not another's. Our inner knowing doesn't steer us wrong.
3. Listen to it... even when it whispers. Sometimes that inner knowing asks us to listen REALLY closely.
4. Say it... even if your voice trembles. Our truth gets to be shared. And not only gets to... needs to.
5. Do it... even if your knees are shaking. When you know, you know-and get to live by that, even if the world says otherwise.
