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 believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through life's challenges. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients explore the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building on the strengths they already possess. For those open to it, I also offer faith-based support, honoring the role that Christian values and spirituality can play in healing.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakeland

Searching for therapists in Lakeland starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they work with. A therapist who names experience with your concern, or uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, may be a better fit for your needs.

In a smaller city like Lakeland, local office availability may be more limited than in larger Florida markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and see which providers are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated cost before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
