As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be heard and seen. I believe that mental health is often overlooked and a lower priority when it comes to health and I believe it is important to challenge that belief and bring attention to what is affecting us mentally and emotionally. Throughout my experience I have worked with a range of clients, from children to older adults, working with clients struggling with depression and anxiety to OCD and Bipolar Disorder. Everyone should have the opportunity to get the help they need and I hope that working together we will be able to identify and work towards building a life that is best for you!

I specialize in holistic and medication free approach to psychotherapy using Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to help minimize and relieve symptoms of anxiety, chronic insomnia, grief, family issues, stress related to work.

I’m a bilingual (Spanish/English) Latinx Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over seven years of clinical experience, including three years practicing under a limited permit and four years as an independently licensed clinician. I offer a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive space for healing and growth.

I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions. Whether you’re processing past experiences or seeking to build healthier patterns in the present, my goal is to meet you where you are—with empathy, respect, and collaboration.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has been working in the mental health field since 1996. I bring significant experience working in underserved communities as a psychotherapist, Clinical Director, and Program Director of multiple homeless shelters serving families, single adults, and adult couples without children. These experiences imbued me with deep experience working with individuals with complex trauma, PTSD, substance use and abuse issues, immigration trauma, and serious mental illness. Additionally, I work with couples, families, and high-achieving high-net worth individuals from diverse personal and professional backgrounds.

I'm a graduate of Fordham University’s prestigious Graduate School of Social Service, where I later went on to teach as an Adjunct Professor of Social Work. Additionally, I'm a graduate of the Practitioner Program in Gestalt Therapy from Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York, as well as a Certified Integrated Feeling Therapist, both experiential, body-based modalities.

As a bilingual psychotherapist having worked with a wide range of demographics and populations over the years, i have learned providing a nonjudgemental and warm space is the foundation of effective therapy. Whether this is your first time in therapy or returning back, we will work together in achieving your goals by tailoring the tools specifically to your needs.

If you have been carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or the weight of a life in

transition, you do not have to keep doing it alone. I'm Jennifer, a licensed clinical social

worker with a background in mental health, crisis, and substance use settings. I am trauma-

informed and trained in Progressive Counting, a focused evidence-based approach for

working through difficult experiences. My goal is to offer a genuinely supportive,

nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

If that sounds like what you are looking for, I would love to connect.
