Getting to know Natsuko Jacobson

Hi there, I'm Natsuko! Hello. My name is Natsuko Jacobson, and I'm a bilingual (Japanese and English) licensed clinical social worker/psychotherapist. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. My favorite approach to therapy is humanistic and holistic, but I adapt my approach depending on my clients' needs. I've worked with clients facing a variety of issues, with current focus areas including grieving (including infertility), depression, anxiety, psychosis (such as hearing voices), and addiction (including addictive behaviors). My approach I have certifications and experience in several therapeutic modules such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). I also appreciate Psychoanalysis because learning about ourselves can be very helpful. I can use structured modules or simply engage in talk therapy, depending on clients' preferences. My focus I've worked with young adults, adults, and older adults. I'm comfortable working with clients of any age (except children), gender, race, sexual orientation, religious belief, legal status, or social status, as long as clients are willing to work with me. My communication style I have a calm yet passionate personality in my work. Clients often mention they feel comfortable and warm during sessions with me. I am open-minded and strive to be mindful and grateful. My journey to mental healthcare This is my second career. I previously worked in business before returning to school. I have experienced grieving myself and have family members with mental illnesses. I have always been passionate about working with people and feel grateful to be a therapist. My goals for you I believe goals naturally come from clients. When clients need help, I assist them in exploring and setting their goals.
