Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Disorganized thinking or difficulty staying grounded in reality can be confusing and distressing. It may affect how you process information, communicate, or relate to others. In therapy we will work in a structured and supportive way to better understand these experiences and develop strategies to stay more grounded and connected. The goal is to help you improve clarity, stability, and day to day functioning.

When Your Mind Won’t Turn Off
Do you ever feel trapped inside your own head — overanalyzing every detail, questioning every decision, or worrying endlessly about what might happen next? Maybe your thoughts move so fast you can’t rest, or so repetitively that you feel stuck in mental quicksand. When your mind is constantly racing or looping, it’s not a sign of weakness — it’s your brain’s way of trying (and failing) to solve a problem it can’t control. Over time, that mental overload can create anxiety, irritability, insomnia, and exhaustion.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you slow down, organize, and retrain your thinking patterns. Together, we’ll:
Learn to recognize the difference between helpful problem-solving and mental spinning
Use tools to calm racing thoughts and reduce rumination
Build cognitive flexibility so your brain can shift gears more easily
Strengthen your ability to focus, rest, and stay present
Use neuroscience-based techniques to reset overactive “threat” and “worry” circuits
You’ll leave sessions with practical tools you can use daily to quiet your mind, sleep more deeply, and think more clearly. Relief doesn’t come from forcing your thoughts to stop — it comes from changing how you relate to them.
I BELIEVE:
You are not your thoughts — and your thoughts are not always the truth.
A racing mind is a sign of an overprotective brain, not a broken one.
Calm isn’t something you “find”; it’s something you train your brain to return to.
You can learn to live with your mind, not against it.
Clarity, rest, and focus are skills — and they can be learned.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Thinking Disorders
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
The mind is an incredible, mysterious instrument. The billions of calculations, and interpretations is simply ungraspable. Thats said, sometimes things just jump rail, and misfire. I work with clients to both figure out what the problem is, how to change it, or perhaps live with it more compassionately. My background in Neuropsychology and Mindfullness makes a powerful duo for those wishing to walk into this therapeutic relationship.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
