These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Janet Jacobs. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Janet Jacobs is a skilled, experienced and receptive clinician. She is also culturally sensitive. She provides careful listening in combination with effective interventions. I've never had a therapist combine inner child work and mindfulness so powerfully. feel very supported by Janet even when I can't come to session as my best self. I feel like she understands that who I am in session, while working on my 'stuff' isn't how I necessarily walk around in the world. I feel like she sees me clearly and I love our sessions.

Janet Jacobs is the real deal. She knows how to access the core issues within her clients and then compassionately finds a way to draw out the obstacles that are impeding the patient’s ability to improve their life. I can’t say enough good things about Ms. Jacobs because she has helped me immensely, and I know that our continued journey together will only improve my outlook, self-esteem, and my ability to move forward in life to achieve the goals I originally wanted. Thank you, Janet, for being such a wonderful counselor and sounding board for your patients. You are the model counselor that I wish others could be molded from.

Janet has been a huge help in my journey to not only leave a narcissistic relationship, but to also uncover the core reason I keep finding myself in one. She has made it so easy to take the steps to begin to heal with her caring and encouraging nature. She always has a suggestion to work on between sessions that has been so helpful! Thank you!
