Jacob Muller, MSW Intern

Professional Biography:

Jake is a Second Year, Master of Social Work Clinical Intern. Prior to his Graduate Studies, Jake earned a Bachelors of Business Administration from Baruch College while he simultaneously founded a Merch Production Company. After having success in that space, Jake would go on to sell his company and pursue a career as a therapist. Entrepreneurship is a passion of his, but he came to find out that his passion behind his passion was really helping people and finding solutions to challenging situations. Whether it is building a business from zero, or helping you rebuild from a place that feels like zero, Jake is devoted to helping individuals and couples overcome the challenges in front of them-- whether that be mental, relational, emotional or behavioral.

Clinical Approach: 

Jake is trained in the Solution Focus Brief Therapy (SFBT) modality. Some of you reading this may be wondering what SFBT is. While Jake could go into great detail about the technical elements of the modality, its 45+ year history, and the 250+ peer-reviewed studies that show it’s been one of the most effective therapeutic modalities, he suggests that you simply come in and see if it is something that you find to be useful. 

More broadly, Jake’s approach is holistic and focuses on you as an individual; your unique life context, culture, relationships and circumstances. We all have our own unique stories, challenges, beliefs and goals. It is Jake’s goal to honor your values and work with you to build towards a better future with respect to your mental health, relationships and behaviors.
