Hello! My name is Jennifer Peña and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 9 years experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults both within inpatient and outpatient therapeutic capacities as well as in the school setting.
My speciality is working with adults and adolescents and teens (13-18), as well as high risk clients struggling with various issues such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-harm, interpersonal relationships, anger management, trauma grief and more. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), talk therapy, art therapy, music therapy, play therapy, and much more.
Through utilizing activities, worksheets, and conversation to build rapport, clients will be able to openly express themselves both creatively and cognitively within a safe, online therapeutic environment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
