Jacob Wilhelm, M.Ed, LPC, AEDP, EFT

Dedicated to the enormity of life's challenges,  I will meet you with understanding, compassion, and a commitment to undoing the sense of aloneness that can often accompany difficult times. I am here to embark on a transformative journey with you, exploring the depths of your feelings and thoughts that fuel struggles, and collaboratively creating experiences that fortify the very core of who you are.

In our therapeutic alliance, you will not only find a place where you are heard, accepted, and respected, but also an opportunity to cultivate a "real" relationship—one that stands in stark contrast to the unhelpful responses you may have encountered in hurtful relationships. Together, we'll empower you to discover and express your authentic self, taking risks in forming new, healthier connections and ways of relating.

Drawing upon advanced training in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), I bring specialized tools to help heal trauma and foster secure attachments. AEDP, rooted in neuroplasticity, attachment theory, and emotion theory, facilitates a profound recovery of your core self, enhancing resilience and revitalizing your zest for life. EFT, a research-proven approach, transforms negative emotions and patterns within couples, fostering positive emotions and strengthening bonds.

Together, we will navigate the path to not feeling overwhelmed by painful emotions or mistakes, developing your voice and competencies, and creating space for more intimate relationships where your needs are met. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery, where you uncover your passions and purpose, making your life profoundly meaningful.
