Trauma integration and healing does not happen in a silo. It happens relationally, from the inside out. Creating an environment of felt safety is crucial to the therapeutic process; it paves the way for a deeper therapeutic alliance and enables clients to engage more fully in the process. Each person already possesses their own innate strengths, wisdom, and resilience, and when clients feel safe enough to show us these resources, they will inevitably guide the work.
The Jacob Center Counseling Program serves those who have trauma-related concerns and have barriers to care (financial or otherwise). Our approach is rooted in a whole-person, trauma-responsive, and anti-oppressive lens. We support LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients, and we have Spanish-speaking support staff. We honor and respect each individual’s identity, trauma history, and unique needs.
We see our work as collaborative, advocacy-focused, fluid, and above all, client-driven and responsive to trauma- and neuroscience-informed perspectives. We aim to provide accessible therapy that supports trauma integration and healing while building resiliency and connection.
