Jenna Petrella

As a former law enforcement officer, I found there were many people I encountered who were going through stressful situations but did not know where to go or who to turn to for help. I decided I wanted to make a change in my life and transitioned to the therapeutic world in order to help people on a more personal level. I wanted my practice to reflect my unique skills I cultivated from my previous career, life experiences, and education I received from NSU's Marriage and Family Therapy program.

Like a navigation system, I assist my clients in finding the direction in life that is most suitable to resolving their problems. It is a collaborative process between the client and me.

My clients are motivated and committed to making changes in their personal relationships and their own lives. I support them in exploring their history and uncovering patterns they may not be aware of, so they can begin to have more control over their choices in life. I love providing clients with tools and techniques that can lead them to living a more enriched life, which will ultimately help them discontinue their time with me.
