Psychotherapy/Counseling

Jim Jacobsen, MA

LMFT, BBS # 90737

My way of being with clients is non-judgmental, non-pathologizing and respectful. Therapy can be long-term or brief, depending on the needs and preferences of the client. 

I specialize in the treatment of intellectually and creatively gifted individuals.
