Jacob Pehrson, LPC

Jacob Pehrson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and low self-esteem, and he also addresses related issues such as attachment problems, codependency, communication and control challenges, and struggles with guilt or shame. His practice includes focused work on infidelity and betrayal trauma, men’s issues, post-traumatic stress, and process and sex addictions including problematic pornography use, exercise, gambling, and sexual compulsivity.

He creates a non-judgmental environment where individuals can feel heard, understood, and accepted, and he approaches counseling as a collaborative process. Drawing on training as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist - a specialization in addressing compulsive sexual behaviors and their impact on relationships - he combines practical skills, clinical knowledge, and compassionate support to guide change. Jacob invites clients to engage with the discomfort that often accompanies growth and offers structured opportunities to work through that discomfort toward healthier patterns.

In sessions he blends empathy with challenge, bringing expertise, insight, and a commitment to recovery while encouraging vulnerability, determination, and curiosity from those he works with. The goal of his work is to help people move toward greater healing, improved relationships, and more satisfying lives.
