Find a therapist in New York — covered by insurance

I'm a clinical social worker in NYC with a degree from Hunter College. I have over a decade of clinical experience, which began while working as a case planner in the NYC foster care system. At Hunter I was accepted into the Child Trauma program through the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and received specialized training in trauma-informed, attachment based modalities including Child Parent Psychotherapy.

I have extensive experience working with care-givers and parents of young children navigating parenting challenges, from adjusting to a new baby to processing and healing from significant attachment disruptions. I also trained in Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International to help support clients through the challenges of the preconception, perinatal, and postpartum phases of family planning.

I am a certified Level 1 AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) therapist and I am currently completing certification with the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Institute. These models invite clients to go a little deeper than in traditional talk-therapy, but to do so in an intentional, thought out, and collaborative way that results in a sense of catharsis, release, and self-compassion. These approaches benefit many types of clients but are particularly helpful for those struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, with a history of interpersonal, and childhood trauma.

I work often with clients who identify as "people-pleasers"-empathetic, "emotional sponges" who often find themselves prioritizing others at the cost of their own well-being. are incredibly tuned in to the world around them, but can become overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, and burnout. My integrative approach helps them develop stronger boundaries, reconnect with their needs, and find renewed balance and purpose.

I am a psychotherapist originally educated as a social worker. I have been practicing since 1994 and have explored Jungian therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy and have completed Parts I and II of EMDR training.

Growing up in a culture where mental health was often stigmatized, I saw how difficult it could be for people to openly talk about their struggles or ask for support. Those experiences shaped my passion for therapy and inspired me to help create a space where people feel comfortable, supported, and understood without fear of judgment.

In my work, I’ve had the opportunity to support individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating a range of life challenges. These experiences have strengthened my belief in meeting each person with empathy, patience, and respect for where they are in their journey, while helping them build on their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

Hi, I’m Jen Palacios, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, emotional wounds, and life transitions. Many of the clients I support are working through patterns shaped by past relationships, family dynamics, or experiences of emotional abuse and are looking to better understand themselves and build healthier connections moving forward.

I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University Worldwide and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kean University. My work is influenced by systemic and relational therapy models, which means I look at how your experiences, relationships, and environment all shape the way you move through the world today.

With all the possible stressors in life, it can sometimes be difficult to know what is keeping us from being the best version of ourselves. In my practice, we will identify what is working and explore possible areas for change. No matter your struggles, the goal will be to help you identify and build on your strengths and become the person you aspire to be. My first goal is to create a supportive environment where you can feel heard and understood. We will focus on your unique lived experiences, including how both personal and social factors can influence the ways you live and grow in the world.
