Jake Dastrup, AMFT
Jake provides patience, safety and awareness while encouraging clients to step into and accept the discomfort and commitment necessary for deep healing and change. He believes that feeling truly understood and completely worthy of love is at the core of what motivates people to change. Additionally, he believes that change requires a willingness to move compassionately toward discomfort rather than avoiding it. He knows from his own experience that a life of vitality, meaningful connection, peace, and joy is not free from the messiness of struggle, but is discovered in the midst of it.
Jake is not naive when it comes to mental suffering and relational distress. Due to his own experience of mental suffering and complex relational trauma, he embodies genuine empathy for his clients and understands the courage and effort it takes to change and heal. In his personal search for healing over the years, he has discovered wisdom in a variety of philosophies and approaches relating to the mind, personality, spirituality, relationships, and the body. He is Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Hypnotherapy-informed and employs these techniques to target the deeper subconscious parts of the mind. By doing so, he helps clients change deep-seated core beliefs that traditional talk therapy may be unable to reach. Additionally, he is in the process of becoming a certified yoga instructor and enjoys incorporating the body in the healing process. He partners with clients to discern which approaches will be most relevant to their individual needs and hopes.
He believes that relationships provide the greatest opportunities for growth and approaches change through the lens of better understanding the truth about being in relationship with oneself and others. He works with kids, teens, adults, and couples struggling with highly sensitive personality (HSP), anxiety, self-worth issues, complex and acute trauma, unwanted pornography use, faith crisis, and suicidal ideation.
