Fema Jacob, MSW, RSW

Hi! I'm Fema Jacob. I am a Registered Social Worker. I provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents who are experiencing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, addictions, low self-esteem, perinatal mental health difficulties, grief and loss, and issues controlling anger. I also support those who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events as well as individuals looking for support with general life transitions and stressors (e.g., end of a relationship, career change, etc).  

I want to understand the intricate details of your life that make you uniquely you and would be honoured to facilitate the process of your self discovery and healing. My job satisfaction comes from seeing the personal growth that you will achieve through the therapy process.  

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?

As a Registered Social Worker with a Masters Degree in Social Work, I draw from various evidenced based therapeutic methods including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) to create a custom intervention plan for you to reach your goals and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the patterns and themes that repeat in your life.

How will we work together? 

My role as your therapist is to bring my experience and knowledge to be by your side, support, guide, and empower you throughout our time together. 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.
