Jacob Zumut is a board-registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and a board-registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. He earned his Master of Science in counseling psychology from California Baptist University, after completing a bachelor’s degree in psychology at California State University San Bernardino.

As a therapist trainee, Jacob served at CBU’s counseling center, working with a diverse population of college students, primarily young adults to middle-aged individuals. During this time, he gained experience supporting clients across a broad range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, identity and relational challenges, spiritual concerns, sexual addiction, trauma, and more. Jacob has a particular passion for working with young adults and men as they navigate seasons of transition, identity formation, relationships, and faith.

My therapeutic approach is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, with care centered on your unique needs and goals. I draw primarily from client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives to explore how past experiences shape present patterns, relationships, and emotional responses. I am trained in EMDR and integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to support meaningful insight and lasting change. I view individuals holistically and believe healing occurs when the cognitive, emotional, relational, and spiritual dimensions of a person’s life are thoughtfully integrated.

I aim to create a safe and grounded space where you can show up as you are and feel heard without judgment. Many people enter therapy carrying pain, confusion, or questions they have never had room to explore. I believe healing often unfolds within a relationship built on trust, care, and compassion. My hope is to walk alongside you with intention and humility, honoring your story and supporting growth as you move toward the person God has called you to be.
