Therapist

Virtual • California


I have been a psychotherapist for almost 15 years seeing clients in a variety of settings including out patient hospital/group setting, clinical settings, and private practice. I am passionate about my work as a psychotherapist. Both clients and colleagues have labeled me with a "tough love approach" while simultaneously challenging my clients to reach their potential. While hiring, training and supervising new therapist, I would often remind them, "Clients don't care what you teach them, until they know that you care about them".

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I'm a licensed psychologist who works with people who generally are holding it together in life, but feel stuck in certain areas. I believe that shame- this thing we all have- is what keeps us small, separate from others, and disconnected from our true selves.

What I bring to the room is warmth, directness and a true desire to understand all of you. I'm honest, not easily shocked, and I don't judge. I take your potential seriously, and I truly believe in the innate goodness and potential of all human beings- no matter where we have been or what we're holding on to.

Dr. Jacob Scholl

Dr. Jacob Scholl

Psychologist

Virtual • California


My Ph.D. is from Biola University, and I completed my clinical internship and post-doctoral training at Aurora San Diego, a psychiatric facility where I worked with civilian and active-duty military adults. That training grounded me in CBT, ACT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy, including CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for trauma, with extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. I have been working with clients since 2019 and became a licensed psychologist in California in 2026.

Outside of work, I'm usually training for my next Spartan race, swing dancing, deep in a Lego build, or out exploring a trail. I'm also an avid reader and always on the hunt for a good new coffee shop.

Imagine being as kind and reliable to yourself as you are to everyone else. If you are exhausted from overthinking, taking on too much at work or home, and feeling like you're carrying the mental load for everyone around you, we can work on changing that.

My sessions are practical and down-to-earth. I won't just sit back and nod. We'll look at the everyday habits (like perfectionism, over-committing, and struggling to delegate) that leave you feeling drained, and focus on practical steps to regain your time and head space.

My focus is helping women navigate everyday anxiety, manage burnout, and set healthy boundaries with family, friends, and work. The goal is to help you build real self-trust, so you can spend less energy managing daily stress and more time feeling present in your life.

I offer virtual daytime appointments across California (Mon, Tue, Wed 9:00 AM–3:30 PM, and Thu 9:00AM–2:00 PM). My practice is structured for scheduled sessions primarily focused on managing anxiety. Please note: I do not provide crisis support, acute emotional distress care, or treatment for complex clinical conditions.

When you're ready, click "Book Session" to schedule a 15-minute phone screening to discuss your goals and confirm mutual fit.

I am hands-on and interactive. I give my clients direction as opposed to just asking questions and nodding. I measure success by the degree of satisfaction we derive from our relationships and careers. I believe in giving you all so you can get it all.

101 South Kraemer Boulevard, Placentia, CA

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.
