      <image:title>Home - About Jacob Studioso, LCSW</image:title>
      <image:caption>I believe in a person’s innate ability to find meaningful change and growth in their lives. Sometimes this can come in the form of making life changes, finding greater balance, or finding ways to cope with life’s stressors. My goal in therapy is to be a conduit of empowerment, understanding, unconditional positive regard, through a person centered, strength based approach.  I work to meet clients where they are and believe they are experts in their lives, so my role is to facilitate their empowerment through education and introspection. I have experience working with individuals, families, and groups of all ages and diverse backgrounds, and have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, grief, finding purpose, and life changes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Depression - When was the last time you experienced joy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Everyone experiences feeling down, sad, or lonely from time to time, but when these feelings occur more than once a month, therapy is right for you. Do you find yourself feeling drained or exhausted? Do you struggle to find the motivation or energy to complete tasks - even things you normally enjoy doing? Have you been struggling with low self-esteem? Or have you been thinking that you just don’t want to deal with things anymore? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you are not alone! Millions of Americans struggle with depression and anxiety. Psychotherapy is the gold standard when it comes to learning ways to manage negative thoughts and feelings. Through meeting with Jacob, not only can you reduce the frequency of negative thoughts and feelings, but you can work to find ways to increase positive thoughts and emotions. Find your joy today!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Anxiety - calming features such as running water and plant life can be utilized to enhance finding safe place for therapy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Therapy for anxiety is tailored to each individual, but often encompasses finding solutions to both address unhelpful thought patterns while also exploring behavioral solutions to both provide distraction and help process worry in positive ways. Anxiety can be managed in healthy ways through processing and reframing unhelpful thoughts in therapy sessions, learning and practicing new coping strategies in and out of sessions, and finding activities that fit you and your lifestyle. Therapy, or therapy in conjunction with medication is the best way to overcome feeling overwhelmed and regain control of your life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Spirituality</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spiritual trauma is…. trauma. Humans have done amazing things throughout history in the name of religion, but as a race, we have also done significant harm. Numerous wars have been fought in the name of religion, and entire groups of individuals have been abused and dismissed all in the name of religion. On a more individual level, often spirituality and morality go hand in hand and religion often tells us that certain things are right, or wrong based on a rigid set of categories. The problem is that most people do not fit in a box. We are unique, and amazing individuals, and finding a way to unify who you are with what you believe can be transformative. Often when someone is struggling with mental health concerns such as depression or anxiety religion can help to an extent, but often that help can come with a dose of shame. So often, I have heard someone say to “just pray” or “give your worries to God” or “just have faith”. These statements and others are usually said with well wishes, but sometimes prayer isn’t enough and if you follow this advice and are still struggling what does this mean? Mental health is often stigmatized as a sign of weakness or wickedness leading to shame about our own well being. In truth, talking through, processing, and learning ways to better cope with challenges in therapy will lead to finding peace with ones person and their belief system. Are you ready to find your zen?</image:caption>
