Jillian Poteshman Jacoby, LCPC
I specialize in working with young adults, adults, and couples. My approach to working with clients is strengths-based while utilizing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based therapies to help clients reach their therapeutic goals. I am passionate about drawing out my clients abilities and positive coping styles, allowing them to work from a place of strength instead of a place of self-described deficiency or maladaptive coping styles (i.e., rumination, avoidance, and isolation). I combine warmth, curiosity, and practical tools to help you shift patterns, strengthen relationships, and build emotional resilience.
I work with individuals around sex, intimacy, trauma, ADHD, mood concerns, executive functioning struggles, and major life transitions. This practice is sex positive and I’m especially passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ .
I can often be seen in session helping clients navigate how to be successful students, peers, partners, and parents. I am committed to working with diverse individuals and couples inclusive to all abilities, racial, and ethnic identities.
