Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Boca Raton, FL

I truly believe I was born to help others, and caring for people has been a passion throughout my adult life. With more than 20 years of experience as a licensed counselor, I've had the opportunity to support people through anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship concerns, mood disorders, and many of life's difficult transitions.

My experience has taken me across a variety of settings and populations, including more than 10 years working with teens. I understand that reaching out for support isn't always easy, and I want you to know that you deserve a space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. No matter what brings you to therapy, my goal is to meet you with compassion and without judgment as we work together toward greater clarity, healing, and a healthier way forward.

Very empathic, resilient, welcoming and non judgmental.

Hi, I’m Jeanina. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor, a people-person at heart and someone who believes deeply in the power of hope, healing, and being truly seen.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culture, family, identity, and the expectations we can carry while trying to find our own voice. I believe therapy should feel compassionate, approachable, and genuinely human. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel understood, and show up as your whole self—without having to have everything figured out.

I especially enjoy working with women and young adults navigating life transitions, identity, relationships, family expectations, self-worth, burnout, anxiety, and the pressure of becoming who you are while still figuring out who that is. Your 20s and 30s and even 40s can bring so many questions: Who am I? What do I really want? Am I on the right path? Why do I feel like everyone else has it together?

Many of the women and young adults I work with have spent so much time taking care of others, meeting expectations, being strong, or simply surviving that they have lost touch with themselves. Therapy can be a place to reconnect—with your values, your voice, your relationships, your identity, and the life you genuinely want to build.

You don’t have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes, you just need a safe place to begin asking the right questions.

I’m here to help you slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and move toward a life that feels more like you.

I offer a compassionate, honest, supportive and tailored approach to individuals and families seeking therapy. I connect with a diverse population of individuals, from all walks of life and varying ages who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma and family conflict.

Thank you for reaching out to me today! I am here to listen and to help. I am licensed to practice professional counseling in Florida and Missouri with a specialty in addictions and co-occurring disorders. I have been assisting clients since 2011, but in recent years my primary focus is with adults ages 18 and older.
