Kind Words from Clients

There is nothing more important than your child and when your child is struggling, you are praying for a miracle. Jacqui was the miracle I prayed for but never thought I would find.

I can’t tell you how desperate I was when I brought my daughter to Jacqui for the first time. She literally saved my daughter’s life. There are no words to express the gratitude my family has for Jacqui. When we met a little over 2 years ago, I never thought our lives would be “normal” and I’d be getting ready to send her off to college.

Jacqui has a way of connecting with young people. I can’t get my daughter to tell me personal things but she absolutely confides in and trusts Jacqui. Jacqui is always there for us when we need her, even for the little things. She really takes the time to get to know her patients. I honestly feel she knows my child better than I do and I’m ok with that.

I put my child’s life in Jacqui’s hands and never had any doubt that she would help. I completely trust Jacqui and have never doubted her. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She is professional but kind and caring at the same time. She respects my decisions as a parent and treats my daughter with kindness and understanding. She is always there for my daughter when she needs her and truly cares. She is a great support system for your teens who need a mature set of ears and will advise them correctly.

She is not all about medication. She offers alternative ideas and help on how to handle issues. She lets your child make decisions for themselves instead of dictating to them.

Jacqui is the absolute best. I highly and sincerely recommend Jacqui.

I began seeing Dr. Soboti in the fall of 2018, after a life changing event in my family life. My husband had unexpectedly passed away at the age of 45. I was left with life as I did not know it, no less to face it alone, having to guide my two daughters by myself as well. The feelings, of sadness, grief, anxiety, fear, and pure devastation were overwhelming. Dr Soboti gave me the tools and support that I needed during this most difficult, challenging time in my life. Dr. Soboti constantly reassured me the only way I can help my children through this new life, is to make sure that I am also taking care of myself both mentally, and physically. Seeing Doctor Soboti has made me understand that I am not seeing her to move on from my husband’s death but instead, to move forward, while our family adapts to this new life we have without my husband. I now know, after 16 months, that I couldn’t have made it this far alone, her guiding me in looking out for myself, in which, in turn helped me be there for my children. I would recommend her services to anyone is need. She is very easy to talk to; her office is very warm and comforting. She treats you like a “person” rather than a “patient”. She is there for you no matter when or where. Whatever the circumstance, weekends, vacations, time at home, if I need her she is there for me. She would take time away from her personal life to chat with me whether it would be 5 minutes, or 25 minutes. She reaches out to me on hard days, birthday, holidays, etc. just to let me know she is there and thinking of me. Which is so reassuring knowing she really is there.

I am an adult woman with anxiety and OCD. I’ve been suffering with it for a long time, but was uncomfortable about seeking help. Jacqueline Soboti, LCSW is a compassionate, non-judgmental therapist, and has just the right sense of humor. She has a personal touch and always makes you feel like you are her only client. What I especially appreciate about her is that she is progressive in her methods. Every person is different, and what might work for one person, might not work for another. And what might work in one session, might not work in another based on what’s happening in your life. She is incredibly adaptive at this, and this is a true talent. I highly recommend Jackie and I am so grateful I have found her.

We were lucky enough to find Ms. Jackie Soboti at the most pivotal time in our lives. Our teenage daughter was struggling with some common teen problems but, more importantly, we were unable to talk through these issues as our communication lines had been broken for many years. Jackie was able to quickly develop a relationship with our daughter and helped us navigate through raw feelings, tough discussion and some situations that could have taken a different turn. She split the session to allow some private time with our daughter, then gave us time as a family in order to develop the skills we all needed in order to build a better, stronger relationship. Five years later, our daughter is off to college and we can sleep easy knowing that she can and, more importantly, will call us with any problems, concerns or just to say hi because she misses us. These are the nuts and bolts of what Jackie did for us; however, reading it back it doesn’t even come close to explaining how she literally saved our family. She was always there for us and still checks in years after we have ‘finished’ with therapy. We often tell people that we had gone back and forth for years wondering if it would be beneficial to find a therapist for our daughter. We know so many families who have similar struggles and we always recommend two things: Don’t wait and call Jackie!!

It's difficult to put into words how much therapy with Jackie has helped me. Over the last five years I've gone from being a college drop out with no direction to being back in school with a five year and ten year plan. I often describe Jackie as my spirit guide and what I really mean is she gave me the tools and the space to help myself. I tell anyone and everyone that therapy profoundly changed my life, who I am as a person, and how I respond to stressful situations. The best choice I have ever made was picking up the phone and calling Jackie that freezing cold January day. If you're nervous to call, it's okay, Jackie understands.

I will never be able to put into words how invaluable Jackie has been when it comes to my life. I’ve suffered with OCD, anxiety, and depression for as long as I can remember and was always uncomfortable seeking help. When things got to a breaking point, I luckily found Jackie.

Coming to Jackie was super scary at first – I had been to therapy in my teen years, but always felt like I was a number or that I wasn’t being listened to. That wasn’t, and has never been, the case with Jackie. She listened to every word I said, interacted with my statements in a way that made me consider my behavior, and has never once made me feel judged. She offered methods to help my nerves and allow me to actually LIVE my life rather than experience it from the sidelines.

Jackie is my dream therapist. I legitimately look forward to my sessions with her – she’s someone I can confide in, who won’t judge me, but will always give me the best advice. No matter what situation I’ve found myself in, Jackie has been able to help me. I could never recommend her enough.

I cannot recommend Jackie enough. Throughout my 10 years in and out of psychotherapy, I have never had such rapid transformation and growth. Jackie has been the catalyst to facilitate my healing of grief, anxiety, depression and old patterns. She gave me tools to unlock the deepest potential I had within myself, which gave me the courage to navigate moving across the country, new jobs, and new relationships. She creates a safe space to express fears and be your raw, authentic self, providing support and guidance rooted in her clinical skills as well as her heart. Although I left New Jersey, I still utilize Jackie’s services on a monthly basis via phone calls. These are especially helpful when old thinking patterns try to sneak back, and she is able to gently steer me back and remind me of my power. I could only imagine the progress I would have made if I started seeing Jackie earlier in my teens or early twenties…. although, she would be the first to remind me, I am right where I need to be on my path. She is a tremendous wealth of knowledge, support, and reliability. She is full of endless resources to propel a life of joy.
