SF Relationship Counseling & Psychotherapy - San Mateo, California

Alyssa Jacobson

I'm so thankful for Jeremi! After almost a decade of dating around without being in a serious relationship, my anxiety was through the roof when I first reached out to him. Jeremi is thoughtful and supportive and really helped me work through my anxiety around dating and becoming more secure. He pushes you when needed and asks questions that make you think in ways you may not have before. After working with him for just over two years, I learned so much about myself, what my triggers are, and what I need in a relationship. During the course of my time with Jeremi, I met someone and have been in a committed relationship for almost two years now. Jeremi was an amazing sound board when asking for advice on how to communicate with my partner and even asking questions like "is this normal". I was pretty out of practice after 10 years of situationships, but Jeremi really helped me by providing strategies to communicate things in a way that is effective, but also empathetic. I now feel like I have the skills needed to keep my relationship flourishing. I would highly recommend Jeremi to anyone struggling with dating!

Where to start... Not all physicians, medical, mental health or otherwise are created equally. Jeremi truly is one of the best at what he does. When my partner and I were in crisis mode almost 1.5 years ago, both as individuals and especially as a unit, we didn't know where to turn. My partner called a bunch of professionals for couples counseling. Only a few responded. Jeremi was one of them. Now, I have to admit. Coming to the conclusion that I was a straight male, that is just discovering that he's ENM/Poly, was a bit terrifying. I knew the judgements that would be thrown my way, the comments and the looks from society.

I was hesitant at the very least when getting a therapist, as even they can feel and act biased based on beliefs. After one call with Jeremi, we cancelled the other potential "suitors." Jeremi, from day one, didn't have a hint of judgement, ill feelings or anything negative towards who we were or potentially becoming. He gently, patiently and expertly was there for us. My partner and I, although very much caring and loving of one another, wouldn't have made it past likely the first two weeks without Jeremi.

He provided us with the knowledge, tools, and practices to be far better communicators. This extended past our bubble and has been a tool belt that I have used with friends, partners and everyone in my life I hold dear.

As men we have many stigmas about feeling, communicating, crying, and "how we're supposed to act." I can't even begin to explain to you how in that room, you couldn't have someone that shows they care more, nor takes their job more seriously than he does. He in turn, gives you the safest of spaces, to just be, feel, process and go with you on that journey as a guide.

As I write this now, getting choked up, I'll be forever grateful that I came across Jeremi's path. I'm a far better person, more open with my feelings, more aware of them, I show more care with others and myself. I love more openly and vulnerably in large part to Jeremi.

If you need someone and you're looking, this is your sign, he's it. No matter your situation or who you are, I'd recommend Jeremi 1000 out of 1000 times.

When my partner and I reached out for help a year and a half ago we were in crisis mode. Also, my partner was skeptical about couple's therapy for fear of judgement in regards to poly/ENM and from the start Jeremi created a safe space for both of us and our both of our feelings surrounding that. He is kind, non-judgmental, and creates a level of calmness that radiates off his pristinely clean office. He gave us the tools to navigate some really tough challenges and for me personally to open up about some deep rooted trauma that I had never shared with my partner. I genuinely don't think our relationship would've survived that crisis period for even a month without his help. He gave us both the tools and resources to be better partners and grow together and grow individually. We've both gained so much and he really gave us the tools to navigate relationships in a healthier and happier way. This is all to say, that if you do decide to work with Jeremi - your relationship is in good hands.

My husband and I worked with Jeremi for 6 months. Without a doubt I can say he helped turn our relationship around and help us truly better relate and respond to each other. We went to Jeremi after four really awful experiences with various therapists in SF who honestly did more harm than good, before finding Jeremi. His kindness, warmth, sensitivity respect, and awareness can be felt the moment you meet him. We both knew after our first session we had found a pearl and that he was a match. We are an intercultural couple and Jeremi was able to skillfully help us navigate and understand each other’s point of view while also validating our feelings and even helping normalize our experiences. As a psychologist myself I was truly impressed by Jeremi’s high level of therapeutic skill in working with us and creating a very safe space, free of judgement and strong therapeutic alliance the base of any good therapeutic relationship. With his guidance and modeling, Jeremi helped us examine very emotionally charged topics and to teach us the skills to help each other regulate emotions in order to resolve conflicts and be able to even access the calm rational parts of our brains and have a sense of control of conflict resolution. We both highly recommend Jeremi for not only his knowledge and grasp of Emotionally Focused Therapy but his innate nature and kind and warm approach that creates a safe space to do the difficult work that is couples counseling. We both felt that Jeremi’s belief and encouragement and skill training truly helped us become a more skilled couple, increase our self efficacy and to help make our marriage more solid. Thank you Jeremi for all your help.

Jeremi is a trusted colleague and a dedicated professional. His warm and caring personality immediately puts you at ease. Jeremi is highly skilled in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and I would recommend him to anyone seeking couples counseling or experiencing relationship difficulties.

I reached out to Jeremi a while back when I was stuck in a rut. He helped understand ways to compartmentalize and balance work, relationships, and wellness. Since we connected I've had a shift and am newly committed to my career growth, my romantic partnership, a greater acceptance of my present, and vision for the future.
