Delivering quality care that considers the entire person and their environment.
Jacob Smyth LMFT
I started my path to becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist many years ago in the State of Oregon. I had just graduated from Northwest Christian University with my Bachelors of Science in Psychology. Not long after this, I began working as a Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA) at a local mental health facility that provided care for at risk kids in between the ages of 8 and 17 years of age. It was at that that facility that I got to see first hand just how a qualified therapist can make a difference in people’s lives. I felt that God was calling me to do more than what I was currently doing and dive deeper into the field of mental health. I went on to get my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University in 2020. For over two years I worked for a wilderness therapy program that specialized in troubled youth and their families. Currently God has called me to open up this private practice in the Cornell area. It is my hope to better serve the community that my family and myself live in. I look forward to helping you along your journey toward better mental health.
Looking at the whole person and their environment
I chose Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) because its primary focus is on the system in which an individual is a part of. Unlike other therapies that have a tendency to focus on the individual and only what they are experiencing, MFT’s have a more holistic approach. I believe that in order to maintain long lasting healing you have to look at the person as a whole and not just the individual parts. If you take someone out of their environment they may be able to start healing. However, if you place them back in that environment without addressing the issues that were feeding into the problem in the first place the person is at a higher risk of falling back into the old patterns that were causing the problem to surface.
