Fema Jacob, MSW, RSW

Hi! I’m Fema Jacob, a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work. I specialize in supporting adults who have experienced trauma, including childhood trauma, abuse, and relationship-related trauma. I also work with first responders and others who face high-stress life experiences.

I provide therapy for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self-esteem, grief and loss, anger management, and emotional regulation. I also support clients navigating major life transitions, such as break-ups, relationship difficulties, or other stressful events.

Is this you?

Perhaps you’ve been struggling with the pain of depression, trauma, grief and loss, or the debilitating effects of anxiety for a very long time. Maybe you’ve felt unlovable, not good enough, inadequate, helpless/powerless in situations, or felt that the world is not a safe place. Do you still hold shame or guilt from things that have happened in the past? Know that we can work through your issues, whatever they may be, so that you can begin to feel more authentically yourself again. 

What is my approach?

My approach is warm, genuine, and interactive. I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood, while gently supporting growth and change. I draw from evidence-based therapies including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), tailoring interventions to your needs.

Clients often seek my support for:

• Childhood or relationship trauma

• Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias

• Depression or low self-esteem

• Grief and loss

• Anger management

• Emotional regulation

• Life transitions (e.g., break-ups, relationship changes)

How will we work together? 

I believe that you are the expert in your own life. My role is to support, guide, and empower you to process difficult experiences, understand recurring patterns, and take actionable steps toward healing, growth, and resilience.

My style is warm and genuine. I place great importance in providing a safe and non-judgemental space to gain your trust and to make sure you feel heard and understood. I will also gently push and challenge you towards growth and change. 

Our work together is interactive. You're the expert of your life and I have full faith in your capacity and competence to heal and create the life you want for yourself. Together we can make an actionable plan to meet your goals and strengthen your potential to create the life enhancing changes you desire.
