Jakob Gelleri

I am simply a guide who has developed an expertise in supporting the goals of my clients or helping them develop goals which feel personally meaningful. I take a strengths and values based approach to supporting the needs of young adults and adults facing challenges from trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other general life stressors. Through exploring personal values, we can orient ourselves to the skills, knowledge, and strategies that are supportive to our developmental journey. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), specifically tailoring treatments to fit the needs and goals of clients. Relationships often come up as a primary focus in my work with individuals. Therefore, I have extended my client base to working with couples. In couples work we will utilize the Gottman Method to focus on skills and strategies for facilitating effective communication, mutual respect, fun, and a higher sense of intimacy and connection.
