Emily Jacobs, LCSW  

I work with children ages 7 and older.  I also will work with teens, and adults.  I have experience and am comfortable with issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar, post traumatic stress, grief, and adjustment issues.  Sometimes these are caused by abuse, domestic violence, or being in relationships with people who abuse drugs or alcohol. I see counseling as a step to help someone take better care of themselves. I have worked with many individuals with health problems and disabilities. 

About Divorcing and Joint Custody:  Divorce and custody issues can be very stressful to children.  In order to help your child and follow legal protocols, I will need consent from both parents whenever there is shared custody.  I work with children ages 7 and older. 

I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from University of California, Santa Barbara (1977), and a Masters in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento (1979).  I worked for 12 years at Valley Mountain Regional Center, with children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families.  I have worked in Calaveras County for 17 years, as the Program Coordinator of Calaveras Health Link in San Andreas, and as a therapist.  I am very familiar with local resources and services in Calaveras County.   I have been licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW) since 1982.
