Jacob Towery, Md's Online Review Report Card

Jacob Towery is a gift to humanity. I attended Jacob’s 2-day intensive for social anxiety and shyness. Working with Jacob was an outrageously fun and deeply transformative experience. I’d been doing work on my own and with other therapists, but Jacob helped launch me to another level of “enlightenment.” It’s not that my life has been solved, but rather that my life feels lighter and bursting with possibilities for fun and connection. It’s a shift I wish for everyone who’s needlessly suffering out there. And to clarify, I’m not writing this while still riding a temporary high. I’m writing this after I’ve had time to reflect and integrate the lessons of my time with Jacob into my daily life. If rapid growth and transformation is something that sounds appealing to you, and you’re ready to be brave and you’re committed to your own growth, then Jacob is your guy!

A Truly Exceptional Doctor Who Changed Our Family's Life!!!!! We were referred to Dr. Towery by my teenage daughter's pediatrician. Although his services were expensive, we were desperate to help our daughter and willing to do whatever it took to find someone who could truly make a difference. So we decided to give Dr. Towery a try. Before seeing him, multiple psychiatrists had diagnosed our daughter with depression. But to our surprise -- and relief -- Dr. Towery determined that she did not suffer from depression, but rather was exhibiting rebellious behaviors typical of adolescence. In today's world, it's all too easy for professionals to prescribe medication and continue treatments indefinitely. It was a blessing to find someone who took a different approach and wasn't quick to medicate. Instead, Dr. Towery recommended insightful books and a practical rewards system tailored to our daughter's needs. We followed his advice, including delivering the "wake-up call" he urged us to give -- and it worked. We saw a 180-degree transformation in our daughter. Later, when our younger son was diagnosed with OCD elsewhere, we brought him to Dr. Towery as well. The bond they formed was incredibly strong. When the day came that Dr. Towery said goodbye because our son's OCD was cured, my son was genuinely sad -- he misses Dr. Towery dearly to this day. Dr. Towery is a rare gem in the field. His honesty, insight, and commitment to truly helping children and families is unmatched. We are forever grateful, and I give him my highest recommendation.

I attended Dr. Jacob Towery’s Finding Humans Less Scary 2-day workshop to address social anxiety, and it was amazingly powerful. I left wondering when the last time was that I spent 2 days doing something, and could already feel my life start to change because of it. Like many people, I’ve struggled with social anxiety since childhood. Dr. Towery was a master at framing social anxiety differently and in a way that made real sense to me. He offered us a whole host of tools and strategies we could use right away, and came up with exercises for us to practice together on the streets of Palo Alto. Dr. Towery’s delivery is clear, incisive, kind, thoughtful, approachable and fun, which made it easy for me to process and start to evolve my old thinking patterns. After the first day of this workshop, I started to feel a difference. I was actually excited to wake up, go outside and meet people. Because of Dr. Towery’s talent, skill, generosity and humor, I’m starting to feel lighter about the prospect of social interactions. Always feeling so self-conscious and fearful of what others thought of me, everywhere I went, was such a crippling way to be. Something set in stone under 10 locks and keys is now beginning to release because he taught me how to think about it in a different way, and how to put that into effect. While I know this will take practice, rather than a sea of gotcha’s, the world is beginning to feel like a playground.

Dr. Towery helped me overcome my social anxieties and feel more confident! The techniques he uses teaches you how to face your fears and anxieties in real time. As scary as that sounds, Dr. Towery’s warmth and empathy provided a space that felt safe and comfortable to confront my fears head-on. He was so supportive through the process and helped me realize anxiety is not something that I have to just cope with the rest of my life, it’s something I can overcome!! It takes practice but it’s so worth it. I am forever grateful to Dr. Towery for changing my life. I highly recommend working with him.

Dr. Towery practices an empathetic, action-oriented brand of therapy that truly changed my life. Rather than focusing on the "root causes" of my depression and anxiety, which I've experienced in therapy with other providers, Dr. Towery emphasized a forward-looking brand of care that yielded near-immediate results. I wish more therapists and psychiatrists had the attitude that Dr. Towery does: compassionate listening and a person to talk to, yes, but moreso a coach and equal partner in a process to make your life as fulfilling and rewarding as we all deserve. If you are considering therapy but are skeptical of its benefits, I hear you -- I was exactly the same, after years of paying for the care with limited tangible effects. Dr. Towery overcame that skepticism within the first couple of sessions, and once I fully embraced the treatment plan I felt my mood, executive function, and outlook on life change rapidly. Thank you, Dr. Towery, for helping me rebuild a life of joy and passion when I thought the window for living a fulfilling life had closed.

Dr. Towry is wonderful! He knows his stuff inside and out and cares about his clients deeply. You can't go wrong. He goes above and beyond!

Dr. Towery's approach to therapy is the best that I have experienced. He does a good job of connecting with you as a patient, as well as deconstructing various negative thought patterns. Out of all of the psychiatrists/therapists that I have talked to, his approach was the most clear, direct, and helpful.
