Hello, my name is Jacob Price. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been licensed since 2016 in private practice offering individual therapy ever since. I have 10 years of experience in mental health overall. From 2009-2016 I worked at a community mental health center where I was in various positions ranging from case management services for the severe and persistently mentally ill to group therapy for residential mental health clients. As a therapist I offer a person centered approach, meaning, It's my belief that careful listening and reflection of your emotions and thoughts can help you to find your own mental clarity and a greater self-acceptance. Within the person-centered approach I consider myself to be an Acceptance Based Behavior Therapist (ABBT). This type of therapy combines exercises meant to teach a person how to mindfully observe emotions and stop struggling with them so they can refocus attention on meaningful values based goals. Several Acceptance Based Behavior Therapies have been researched and shown to be clinically effective in reducing anxiety and depression. They include Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The idea is that what turns our initial emotional pain into suffering is our natural inclination to want to struggle with emotions instead of acknowledging them and then refocusing on the present moment. In addition to anxiety, depression, life issues and substance use disorders I treat PTSD by using Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy as well as Trauma Reprocessing Therapy. You may find it interesting to google a few of those therapies and read for yourself what they're about. I look forward to hearing from you soon and know that we can figure this out together.

I am a Bilingual Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over seven years of field experience. I graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University with a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. I work primarily with adults, adolescents, and families. My clients have had a wide range of concerns such as trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, divorce care, adjustment concerns, and career changes. I enjoy working with many theories, which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Psychodynamic/ Object Relation Theory, and Motivational Interviewing. I approach my sessions with the understanding every individual’s story is unique and I am passionate about working with the client towards achieving their personal goals. My clients have faced a variety of different obstacles. Some of these obstacles were being displaced from their home, experiencing anxiety due to the pandemic, and working through a significant traumatic event. Through my personal experiences with counseling, I have learned the importance of establishing trust in my sessions. I also tailor my therapeutic technique to what works for the individual. It is my belief that safety, trust, and the space for change can occur within the relationship of the client and the therapist. Each person deserves the space to be heard and I enter each session ready to provide you with empathy and my undivided attention. If you are ready to take that step than I am here to support and empower you!
