WHAT IS IMPACT THERAPY?
Impact Therapy is an active approach to individual and group counseling
developed by Dr. Ed Jacobs. This multi-sensory approach to counseling
is a form of brief therapy that emphasizes making counseling clear,
concrete and thought provoking. Impact Therapy encourages counselors to
combine creative counseling techniques with various counseling
theories. Impact Therapy stresses four steps to the counseling process:
RCFF (Rapport, Contract, Focus, Funnel). This innovative approach to
counseling is being well received by counselors and therapists from all
areas of the mental health field including schools and hospitals,
treatment centers and correctional facilities.

COUNSELING AND PERSONAL GROWTH
Many people are interested in getting counseling from a trained Impact
Therapy counselor, but have trouble finding one in the area in which
they live. Local referrals are made when possible. If not possible, on
a very limited basis, we provide counseling over the phone. If you are
interested in some personal counseling, you can contact us at the home
office: (304) 599-0109, 457 Broadway Ave, Star City, WV 26505.
Join Dr. Jacobs and staff members of Impact Therapy Associates for two
days of personal growth and enhancement as you seek to think more
clearly about the issues that plague you and your clients. There exists
a strong belief that to better help clients, we must first help
ourselves. This weekend growth experience will help you think more
clearly about issues that are on your mind. You will also get a chance
to see Impact Therapy put into practice as you and other participants
work on personal issues.
INTENSIVE TRAINING
Supervision and additional training are available for those who are
wanting to learn more about Impact Therapy. Supervision, either over
the phone or by sending tapes to be critiqued, can be arranged. We are
open to discuss the kind of supervision that would be most helpful for
you. We also offer a structured, intensive training for those who
complete the three day Impact Therapy workshop and want a year long
training program in Impact Therapy. Fees for the different kinds of
supervision vary.
