As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult step. I am committed to creating a warm and supportive space for you to begin your healing journey. I am trained in EMDR, a powerful therapy approach for working through traumatic experiences that can be effective for a range of mental health concerns. I received my Master's education at Rider University with additional trauma-focused training at Liberty University and EMDR Consulting.

I value connection and trust. While I aim to provide a safe & encouraging space to share your narrative I also provide feedback & remain engaged in conversation throughout session. I ask that you keep an open mind & give yourself the grace & patience we all deserve throughout this journey.

Taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. Together we can decide what a healthy mind means to you. No man is an island, I am here to help. I look forward to meeting you.

Are you tired of your thoughts, emotions, and memories controlling your life? Along with poor sleep, brain fog, and no energy, it can seem impossible to cope. Many people struggle with these symptoms whether it’s from depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions. Life can be hard and we all need help sometimes. I'm here to help you figure out what you need to help yourself.

I'm Mara Yacobi, a licensed Social Worker with over 20 years of experience helping individuals, teens, and couples navigate life’s challenges. I provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore emotions, calm anxious thoughts, and make meaningful changes.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide holistic, trauma focused and culturally sensitive therapy. I treat children, and adults. At this practice, our Child Therapy incorporates expressive therapy through play and art therapy. This approach has proven beneficial in helping children develop positive behaviors and coping skills. I work with teens and adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, domestic violence, women’s issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, and traumatic experiences. At this practice, we will help you discover your true self through self-improvement and authenticity.

Welcome! Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and truly understood. Every person who walks into therapy is different, and I honor that. I work with teens, adults, and older adults navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s managing anxiety, coping with change, building confidence, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself again. Some of my clients are high performers or athletes; others are just trying to manage daily stress, relationships, or emotional overwhelm. No matter your story, I tailor therapy to fit your unique needs—drawing from approaches like CBT and strengths-based strategies.

Welcome! I'm so glad you've taken this journey of self-discovery and reflection. I look forward to walking alongside you as you pursue personal growth leading to a stronger sense of self. I'm very passionate about advocating for diversity awareness, working within LGBTQ+ spaces, cultural sensitivity, and social justice issues.
