All About Blythe

Blythe Jakubowski is a Marriage and Family Therapy intern at Thomas Jefferson University who practices from a psychodynamic and attachment-based framework. Her work focuses on helping individuals and couples understand why they feel, relate, and react the way they do, and how those patterns were shaped by early relationships, family systems, and lived experience.

Blythe specializes in deep relational work, supporting clients in exploring unconscious patterns, attachment dynamics, and longstanding emotional themes that show up in their relationships, sense of self, and inner world. She helps clients develop insight, clarity, and self-understanding to help foster intentional, meaningful changes in how they live and relate.

Her approach is attuned and emotionally honest while also direct, reflective, and thoughtfully challenging. Blythe believes that lasting change comes not from “fixing” symptoms, but from understanding oneself deeply enough that old patterns loosen, and new responses can emerge.

Who She Works With

✔️ Individuals who keep asking themselves “Why am I like this?” and want real understanding rather than symptom management

✔️ Clients who are curious about themselves, willing to look inward, and open to being challenged in therapy

✔️ People who feel stuck in repetitive relational patterns and want to understand, and change, them at the root

✔️ Individuals with diagnosed or suspected personality disorders, with a particular specialization in borderline personality disorder (BPD)

✔️ Clients interested in exploring personality patterns, attachment styles, and longstanding relational dynamics

Blythe works with clients to closely examine past experiences and internal patterns, helping them understand how these dynamics continue to shape their relationships, life, and sense of self, and how new ways of responding can gradually emerge.

  • Blythe’s work is grounded in a psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, with a focus on unconscious processes, relational patterns, and emotional experience. She believes that meaningful change occurs through insight and corrective emotional experiences within the therapeutic relationship.

    Therapy with Blythe centers on helping clients understand how early relationships, internal conflicts, and learned defenses continue to shape emotional life and relationships. Through careful exploration, reflection, and relational engagement, clients gain clarity about longstanding patterns and develop the capacity to respond differently.

    Core pillars of her work include:

    Psychodynamic & Attachment-Based Therapy
    Focuses on unconscious patterns, attachment strategies, and internal dynamics that influence how clients relate to themselves and others.

    Corrective Emotional Experiences
    Uses the therapeutic relationship as a space where new emotional experiences can emerge, challenging old expectations and relational templates.

    Insight-Oriented Exploration
    Supports clients in developing a deeper understanding of their emotional world, relational patterns, and internal narratives, creating the conditions for intentional change.

    Somatic Awareness
    Integrates attention to the body to help clients notice how emotions, defenses, and relational responses are held physiologically, supporting regulation and emotional tolerance.

    Systemic Perspective
    Considers the broader relational, familial, and societal contexts that shape personal experience and relational functioning.

    For individuals, Blythe works with clients to explore trauma, attachment wounds, personality patterns, and life transitions through depth-oriented, relational therapy.

    For couples, she uses an attachment-based and systemic lens to examine relational patterns, emotional disconnection, and recurring conflict, helping partners develop greater awareness, accountability, and emotional engagement.
