About

Hello! Welcome.

“I am a warm and empathic, identity-affirming, relational and person-centered psychotherapist. I work with individual adults and couples. As the founding psychologist of the onsite corporate wellness clinic at a Fortune 500 company, I specialize in treating high-functioning, high-achieving professionals. Aside from my psychotherapy practice, I serve as an expert evaluator and witness for the State of California in occupational psychological injury cases. I love my work. I strive to listen deeply to your concerns and challenges and help you grow through increasingly conscious and mindful self-awareness and discovery. Oh, and I'm not a silent listener! I'll be an active participant in our sessions, supportively guiding and challenging you along the way."
Jacob Engelskirger, PsyD, QME
