Jacob Multack, MA, LPC
Jacob Multack earned his Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Governors State
University, where he completed extensive clinical training in crisis intervention, substance use, dual-diagnosis treatment, inpatient psychiatric care, and brief solution-focused therapy. His clinical experience includes more than 1,000 hours of training within hospital behavioral health settings, working with individuals experiencing mental health crises, substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and other complex life challenges.
Prior to entering the counseling profession, Jacob spent many years in business and leadership. His own life experiences ultimately led him in a different direction—toward helping people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. His clinical approach integrates humanistic and person-centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and other evidence-based interventions tailored to the individual.
Jacob has a particular interest in working with adults and adolescents experiencing substance use and recovery concerns, co-occurring mental health conditions, trauma, major life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, and crisis.
My Journey
I believe some of the most meaningful healing begins when a person realizes they can tell their story without being judged for it.
My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and respect. I want my clients to have a place where they can speak openly about the things they may be afraid to say anywhere else. Therapy should be a relationship in which you feel heard and understood while also being challenged and supported as you work toward meaningful change.
My path to becoming a therapist was not a straight one. Life experiences involving adversity, major transitions, parenthood, and rebuilding gave me a perspective that cannot come solely from a textbook or classroom. Those experiences ultimately led me back to school and into behavioral health, where I discovered that some of the most difficult chapters of a person’s life can eventually become a source of purpose.
My work in hospital crisis, addiction, and psychiatric settings has reinforced one principle that guides the way I practice: I am not here to judge you. I am here to understand you.
Whether someone is struggling with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, or simply feels that life has become overwhelming, I meet them where they are. Together, we identify what is keeping them stuck, recognize their strengths, and develop practical steps toward the life they want to build.
I believe people are far more than their diagnosis, their addiction, their mistakes, or the worst thing that has ever happened to them. Therapy can be a place to understand what happened, decide what happens next, and begin moving forward.
