Psychotherapy
Welcome to Jacobs Psychological Services
I'm Dr. Jacobs, a licensed psychologist (PSY33549) and board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA), offering personalized, evidence-based psychotherapy for children, adults, and families throughout Los Angeles, with a focus on Miracle Mile, Mid-Wilshire, and nearby communities including Beverly Grove, Fairfax, Hancock Park, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, and West LA. Whether you're struggling with OCD, parenting challenges, or disruptive behaviors in young children, I'm here to help you navigate life's challenges with clarity, compassion, and support.
My Approach
Every client has a unique story, shaped by their values, strengths, and struggles. I tailor each treatment plan to reflect your individual goals while drawing from evidence-based therapies. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for the resilience of every person and family I serve throughout the Los Angeles area.
Specialties
I specialize in:
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) — the gold-standard treatment for both children and adults struggling with obsessions and compulsions.
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)— an evidence-based treatment for children ages 2–7 with disruptive behaviors, including:
- Frequent temper tantrums
- Defiance or refusal to follow directions
- Verbal or physical aggression
- Destruction of toys or belongings
- Backtalk and whining
- Hyperactivity and short attention span
- Difficulty following rules at home, school, or daycare

In addition to ERP and PCIT, Dr. Jacobs incorporates other evidence-based treatments—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—based on each client’s needs, treatment goals, and the research evidence supporting effectiveness for the condition being treated. He has a particular interest in treating comorbid conditions, especially when OCD occurs alongside ADHD or depression.
