About me

I am a licensed therapist in New Jersey with over 10 years of experience working adolescents and teeangers. I have also worked in education for over 22 years experience which includes 12 years as a special education teacher and a high school counselor for 10 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, peer pressure, bullying, and self-esteem/confidence issues.

My therapy style is compassionate, empathetic and non-judgemental. I believe in treating anyone with respect and sensitivity. My approach combines CBT, solution-focused, play therapy, and art therapy to meet the clients unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Jesenia has been a trusted and caring counselor to my son. He confides in her around the social challenges he has as a high school student. She reaches out if she has concerns that allows me to take action. I'm happy I found her.

Jesenia is considerate & patient, not once have I felt invalidated on speaking my opinions/point of view of the situation. There were many things that she mentioned that helped the process of me moving forward on my issues

She’s amazing… I feel like no matter what I’m stressing over at the time being, she doesn’t judge me. It’s nice for me to talk to someone that doesn’t “know” me, but knows me well enough to understand that sometimes I’m just ‘going through it’ and want someone to talk to outside of family or my friend group. I feel like I’ve come a long way in the past 6-7 months since I started
