Dr Andrew Jacobs

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

“I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly two decades of experience providing tailored, evidence-based therapies for OCD, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, depression, and several other challenges. I primarily use CBT, ERP, and EMDR in my work.”

About Me

I offer tailored, evidence-based therapies for those navigating challenges like OCD, anxiety, and trauma. My work integrates proven methods, including CBT, to help you understand and manage your specific difficulties. Clients seeking a structured, compassionate space to develop lasting coping skills will find effective support here. Together, we can work towards your greater well-being.

Approach

I balance symptom-focused skill-building with deeper processing, organising work into clear, manageable steps so progress feels tangible. Whether we meet in Ottawa or online in English, sessions are active and collaborative: I help set goals, guide targeted in-session exercises, and shape practical between-session tasks that build tolerance and clarity. I keep the pace measured, adjusting intensity so challenges expand rather than overwhelm while offering concise framing and feedback. Those who want structured, practical progress with compassionate rigour often find this way of working helpful.
