Hi! I'm Jenine, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have over 30 years of experience in Mental Health and have worked in a variety of clinical settings. For the past 15 years I have been in private practice. I currently provide therapy for individuals 18+.
Hello and welcome! Do you feel stuck - maybe in a difficult relationship with someone important or in a complicated relationship with yourself? My aim is to help you begin healing as quickly as possible, even when the issues are long-standing. Together, we will explore the present and seek out transformational processes, rather than focus on the past or simply relive old wounds as a more traditional approach might.
I work with individuals and people in relationships navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, relationship distress, parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. Together, we'll slow down enough to notice what has been difficult to see, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.
As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.
I am a fat and queer therapist who understands the importance of showing up as your whole self. At Whole and True, LLC, I primarily support LGBTQ+ folks navigating OCD and anxiety, including those whose lives have gotten smaller because of fear, uncertainty, or avoidance. I also bring extensive experience treating eating disorders, trauma, and complex mental health concerns. My hope is to create a space where you feel understood, challenged, and supported as you build a life less governed by anxiety.
I am a Latinx provider with a special interest in trauma and stressor related disorders. I have 10 years of experience in outpatient and residential settings. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and their families.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Arlington, MA
Searching for couples therapists in Arlington starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. As you compare Arlington couples therapy options, look for a therapist with specific couples training. Licensed marriage and family therapists, as well as therapists trained in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, may be a strong fit for relationship-focused care.
In a smaller market like Arlington, finding one therapist who works for both partners can take added coordination. Virtual couples therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still giving you access to Arlington therapists who fit your schedule and preferences. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether the session format works for both partners. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they structure couples sessions, which relationship concerns they focus on, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit.
Counseling in Arlington 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 makes it easier to compare therapists who offer couples therapy, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse profiles, check availability, and look for a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new clients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
