Jacob Baraja

Hello! My name is Jake Barajas, and I am finishing up my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling at Divine Mercy University. I gravitate toward understanding the human person through an existential lens in which the search for meaning and purpose plays an integral role. I am excited to work with individuals from every kind of background, and I truly believe it is an honor and privilege to walk with someone on their healing journey. My goal is to meet clients with empathy and genuine curiosity so that every person might be authentically seen, known, and received as they strive to reach their fullest potential.

I am originally from right outside of Chicago, lived in California for the last six years, and recently moved to Pennsylvania near my wife’s family. I enjoy reading, sports, and spending time with my wife and daughter.
