Dr. Jeanette Torruella

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years of supporting individuals and families in New York City and New Jersey. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that each of us has the inner resources to grow, heal, and create meaningful change.

I specialize in working with women and teens navigating self-doubt, perfectionism, anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges of figuring out who they are and where they want to be.

For women, our work may involve quieting the inner critic, exploring patterns that no longer serve you, strengthening boundaries, and cultivating greater self-compassion, confidence, and personal power. Therapy can be a place where you get to show up for yourself.

For teens, I provide a space where they can exhale and be themselves. I help teens navigate emotions, friendships, family, school, identity, and expectations while building confidence, strengthening relationships, developing healthy coping skills, and finding their own voice.

I also support parents and blended families in navigating parenting and co-parenting challenges and strengthening connections with their children.

I bring warmth, compassion, curiosity, and a little humor into the therapy room. My role is to help you recognize and strengthen the resources already within you so you can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Ready to begin? I invite you to set up a consultation. I look forward to connecting with you.

I use an integrative, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to meet each person where they are. My work is holistic and collaborative, helping clients shift unhelpful patterns, build self-awareness, and heal through compassionate, embodied support.

I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including: Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, somatic practices, Expressive Arts, Feminist, Humanistic, and Multicultural frameworks.

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we work to build self-awareness, shift unhelpful patterns, and strengthen the tools they already have to navigate life’s challenges. My hope is that clients gain not only insight, but also practical strategies and a renewed sense of confidence, self-compassion, and clarity as they move toward their goals.
