Therapy Services
I see adults (18+) for individual therapy. I am a licensed psychologist in the state of CA and am located in Arcata, CA.
Please note that I am not taking new clients at this time (Spring 2024) and I do not keep a waitlist. |
About MeMy name is Krystal Jacob (she/they). I am a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of CA. Much of my training was in community mental health settings. After I graduated with my doctorate, I did my residency at Humboldt State University, where I was fortunate to stay on for 6 years following. While at HSU I served as the Alcohol and Other Drug specialist for 4 years and then as the training director for 2 years. I am currently in private practice in Arcata, CA.

My Education and Training
|
My ApproachI primarily utilize Control Mastery theory and Feminist therapy to inform how I think about the development of psychological struggles and to inform treatment. I utilize components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into how I think about and do therapy with people (I am not certified in ACT or DBT therapies at this time). I believe that people ultimately want to be well and that people are doing the best that they can to manage their lives. People typically seek out therapy when what they have been doing to manage is no longer working. It is my belief that everyone has the capacity to change. Additionally, I believe that our system is not set up for many folks to be able to be well in and that is not the individual's fault! To that end, social justice is an incredibly important part of the work that I do.
