Great to meet you!

My name is Jennifer, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York City, dedicated to supporting the well-being of my clients. I offer online therapy to adults in both English and Spanish. My professional experience spans diverse settings, including colleges, community mental health centers, private practice, and care management. My experience in these settings has helped me develop the skills to provide personalized care to adults from diverse backgrounds. My passion lies in empowering women, the Latinx/Hispanic community, and LGBTQIA+ individuals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a personalized approach, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), culturally sensitive practices, and person-centered techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and I encourage clients to share how I can best support them in achieving their goals.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can express yourself openly and explore your emotions. Together, we will navigate life's challenges and work toward creating a happier, more fulfilling life. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I look forward to connecting with you!
