Tanya Jacob, PhD

Clinical Psychologist

Hi there. As a Palisades native who worked in town up until the fires, I deeply understand the community loss, and am grieving alongside many of you. I work with adults, teens, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD. I welcome clients of all identities and lifestyles into my practice. As a mother, I understand the unique challenges that come with parenthood. I love helping people to feel free from their past and empowered for their future. By discovering and accepting your authentic self, you will deepen your experiences of joy and intimacy.

Upsetting, intrusive thoughts can be so frightening we feel trapped inside our own minds. I’m here to help you find comfort within yourself; usually without the use of medication. I have extensive experience working with neurodivergent folk. What makes you different is likely your greatest strength, and part of what makes you the most lovable.

During the darkest times of life, you can still enjoy the brightest moments as well. For treatment to be successful, a client must have a strong sense of trust and comfort with their therapist. I am here to provide that comfort, sometimes with humor. That embarrassing secret? I’ve definitely heard it, and have probably done it. We’re all works in progress.
