Ronda Jacobs, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ronda!

I have experience with children and families involved in the Child Welfare system. My approach to therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness.

My focus

I am comfortable working with adults who have unresolved childhood trauma. Childhood trauma can result in a myriad of psychological concerns such as depression, anger, and anxiety. Unresolved childhood trauma will affect the client's physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

My approach

My approach to providing therapy is to meet clients where they are. We will discuss the therapeutic approaches of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness to achieve the goal of feeling better.

My communication style

I have a calm demeanor. I'm soft-spoken, flexible, and personable. I believe in cultivating a therapeutic relationship where the client feels comfortable trusting me with their emotions in a non-judgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to be a therapist. I believe that everyone has a purpose, and mine is to help others. It was such a joy volunteering for Mission Trips in Africa, distributing backpacks at a hair salon, and providing resources to homeless people in the park.

My goals for you

My approach to accomplishing goals is to work as a team. Clients need to be involved in setting their goals. My role is to guide and provide them with encouragement and support throughout the process.

Our first session

The first session is the time to begin building our relationship. It's a getting-to-know-you time. I will ask questions about how you are feeling and listen attentively. It's a time for you to ask questions as well and get to know me.
