My name is Kristen Jacobsen, LCPC, and I'm a psychotherapist on Chicago's North Shore. I created this channel to provide helpful information and tips on how to cope with and manage anxiety. I have personally struggled with anxiety since I was a kid, so I consider myself both a clinical and personal expert in this area.
I've been in the mental health field for 13 years and specialize in working with clients struggling with anxiety. I have my own private practice and am an adjunct Psychology professor at a local university in Chicago. My goal is to end stigma and encourage people to become more proactive in take care of their mental health.

If you ever feel unsafe, as though you are a risk of harm to yourself or others, please call 911 or visit your nearest emergency room.
