Brooke Jacobson, LMHC specializes in working with high-achieving women who are exhausted by the pressure to do it all — including the pressure to look a certain way while doing it. Her clients are often navigating burnout, a difficult relationship with food and their body, or the anxiety that comes with holding everything together. She brings particular expertise to eating disorders, body image, and the ways diet culture quietly shapes how women see themselves and their worth.
Brooke is HAES-aligned and helps clients untangle the beliefs they've absorbed about food and bodies, rebuilding a relationship with themselves rooted in compassion rather than control. Her approach draws on CBT, ACT, and DBT, tailored to each person through a multicultural, identity-affirming lens — because who you are shapes how you heal.
Brooke earned her M.A./EdM. in Mental Health Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, and has spent the past five years specializing in eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, and depression. She also supervises and mentors other therapists, a role that reflects her deep investment in quality care across the field.
Brooke works fully virtually with adults across New York State and accepts Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, and United insurance plans, with a sliding scale available for private-pay clients. Free consultations welcome.
