Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience working in schools with children and adolescents, hospital settings with adults, and private practice with clients from diverse backgrounds. I have supported students in building emotional regulation, resilience, and social skills, adults coping with acute mental health challenges, and private clients navigating a wide range of life experiences. My work is informed by a trauma-informed perspective, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for every client.
Clients often describe me as empathetic, grounded, and collaborative. I value building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and understanding, and I tailor my approach to meet each person’s unique needs and goals.
I am passionate about creating non-judgmental, safe spaces for my clients. My approach centers on building trusting alliances with those I serve, working collaboratively to help them achieve their personal goals and enhance their quality of life.
I bring specialized experience in several key areas, including Veteran and military life transitions, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life changes, and stress management. Whether you're navigating service-related challenges or working through personal struggles, I'm here to support you on your journey toward wellness.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in FL, Idaho, Virginia; licensed independent clinical social worker in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.
I graduated from Barry University in 2014 and have been working within the mental health and hospital field since.
I enjoy helping others overcome the challenges life throws at them. With the right mindset, support and environment, I believe change is possible.

When anxiety, depression, or painful life experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life, it's easy to feel like you're simply trying to make it through each day. You may be carrying emotional pain that's become difficult to manage on your own, wondering if life can feel lighter again. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I specialize in helping clients work through anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, and family issues so they can feel more emotionally balanced, strengthen their relationships, and regain confidence in themselves and their future. I work with adults because I believe every person deserves a compassionate, judgment free space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.
As a licensed clinical psychotherapist with a background in personal training, I take an integrative approach to care that considers mental, physical, and emotional well-being. My work is grounded in helping clients build stability, resilience, and a greater sense of balance in their lives.
I primarily work with male clients from late adolescence through adulthood who are navigating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, body image concerns, and substance use. I aim to provide a structured, supportive environment where clients can better understand their experiences and develop effective, evidence-based strategies for change.
I am a licensed professional counselor in multiple states, with experience working with both juvenile and adult mental health populations. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, dual diagnosis concerns, and challenges related to the criminal justice system.
Most recently, I worked as a therapist in a rural community mental health program, providing counseling to individuals with diverse needs. Before that, I served as the Clinical Supervisor of an addiction medicine program, where I led a team of clinicians and certified peer and recovery specialists while supporting an onsite clinic that provided medications for substance use disorders. Alongside these roles, I have also operated my own independent private counseling practice since 2016, offering personalized support to clients in my hometown and across the states where I am licensed.
Beyond my work as a therapist, I have enjoyed engaging with the community through training, outreach, and education. I have provided presentations and workshops to various organizations on topics such as substance use disorder, integrating peer services into community programs, mental health awareness, and reducing stigma.
I earned my Master’s degree in Community Counseling from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Forensic Psychology from Mercyhurst College. I am licensed in both Minnesota and Pennsylvania and am credentialed with the National Board for Certified Counselors. Additionally, I have completed specialized training in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband and our family. We enjoy traveling—especially when it means discovering hidden gems off the beaten path. I also like cooking, attending local festivals, tackling home improvement projects, and cheering on my kids in their extracurricular activities.
Hi there! I am a licensed counselor in both Indiana and Minnesota. I graduated from Purdue University Northwest in 2022 with my Masters in Mental Health Counseling, and have worked in community mental health, substance use recovery, and private practice settings since. I enjoy working with adults through various circumstances, issues, or symptoms, and utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and EMDR interventions during sessions.
I’m a licensed therapist who believes therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and real. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem issues, with a focus on helping you feel more grounded and confident in your day-to-day life. My approach is practical and compassionate—I help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and make changes that fit your life. Most importantly, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and never judged.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or past trauma? Do you want to sharpen your mindset, improve relationships, find emotional peace, strengthen habits or deepen your spiritual life?
Hi, I’m Jacob Templeton. I bring experience from 15 years in mental health, including 9+ years of clinical counseling. I've worked with diverse clients, including many first responders. Whether you’re navigating a tough season or pursuing growth, I’d be honored to help you create lasting change.
Taking that initial step into therapy can be daunting. Sharing your story is a vulnerable position no doubt, and I am proud of you for even making the decision to seek help. Because I know how much courage this takes, I absolutely promise to honor you and walk alongside of you as you work towards your goals in counseling. In addition to helping individuals with anxiety and depression, I am certified in dialectical behavior therapy and practice accelerated resolution therapy. I also incorporate christian counseling, sand-tray therapy, mindfulness based-therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and incorporate narrative therapy techniques.
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and I believe you deserve someone who will meet you with compassion, curiosity, and respect. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself—without judgment—and where we can work together to better understand the challenges you're facing and the strengths you already possess.
I hold a master's degree in Addictions and Rehabilitation Counseling and am a license professional clinical counselor in the Minnesota. Before becoming a therapist, I earned my medical degree in Mexico, an experience that deepened my appreciation for the connection between emotional and physical well-being.
I am a holder of a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in the state of Minnesota and a highly results-oriented multicultural therapist with over 10 years of experience. The value I bring to therapy is building a strong therapeutic relationship with my client. I have the skills, knowledge, and ability that are required as a therapist to gather comprehensive information during an assessment, which my client and I will utilize collaboratively to develop a supportive treatment plan and coping skills for the client to implement when their mental health symptoms exacerbate. I have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and a good Knowledge of cultural differences.
