I am an experienced, New York State licensed, clinical psychologist in full time private practice in midtown Manhattan. Previously, I was a Supervising Psychologist at the St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center for Intensive Treatment of Personality Disorders (CITPD) before joining the Personality Studies Institute, a specialized private practice, psychotherapy training, and research group founded by Dr. Otto Kernberg, pioneering founder of Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) for treatment of personality disorder.

I believe psychotherapy can be a powerful vehicle of healing and growth. I make this statement based on my knowledge of science as well as my clinical and personal experience. My approach is personality driven, meaning the process is uniquely dictated by who I am sitting with. My main goal is to form a healing, healthy relationship with my patients.
These forms will be provided when you arrive for your first consultation. Alternatively, for your convenience, I have provided some of these documents for you to download, if you wish to complete them in advance of our meeting. This document addresses a number of issues including agreements we make entering into a professional mental health relationship, my business policies, confidentiality, and your rights as a patient.

Some people write disparaging reviews about Jacob - but that’s because they are too delicate and denialist to let him actually help them. I was like that for a while - hostile, defended, and blaming everyone else for the way everyone hated me. But then I stopped protesting like a little kardashian and decided to look at me for once in my life.
If you work with this dude, it doesn’t mean no one is qualified to help you - it means you have ruined all the relationships in your life and might die alone. Don’t protest and critique this dude - he is here for you and you are probably wrong in what

Dr. Small is amazing. He always takes the time to listen to what I'm feeling inside without criticizing or judging. I've been working with him for many years and there is no one else I trust more with my mental health. He's kind, good hearted, very intelligent, and will always do his best to help his patients get going in the right direction. Highly recommended!
