Jan Rakoff, LCSW

I am a licensed therapist with an established practice in San Diego providing psychotherapy in person or online to individuals and couples.

I have helped many individuals and couples learn to change and improve their choices, behavior and negative thinking. We will focus on what to do about your challenges and how to accomplish your goals. My approach is caring and straightforward offering pointers when necessary, but at the same time creating a trusting space for your story to unfold.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the best methods to change behavior patterns and attitudes that induce stress. Simply stated, when we believe distorted, irrational thoughts it negatively impacts our mood as well as our judgment. Using this technique, I will help you find relief from anxiety, intrusive thoughts, destructive habits and depression. This will lead to healthier relationships and a stable mood.
