About

Alana Jacobs, Psy.D is a certified clinical psychologist who highly values the chance to establish profound connections with individuals and assist them on their path to recovery and embracing their true selves. With a decade of experience, she has worked in various settings such as private practices, college counseling centers, outpatient clinics, and state hospitals. Alana specializes in working with people from diverse backgrounds including different ethnicities, races, nationalities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Her approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, acceptance, trust, and empathy. She strongly believes that our survival mechanisms developed in early life or during challenging times may no longer be beneficial to us as we grow. Alana is particularly passionate about providing couples and group therapy, with specialized training in Emotion Focused Couples Therapy & Interpersonal Process Group. She finds group therapy to be an effective method for breaking down barriers to self-discovery and interpersonal connections. Currently, she is in the process of establishing two interpersonal process groups. Alana holds a Doctorate and Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the APA-accredited program at Pacific University. She is also a certified yoga instructor with 200 hours of training.
