Hello! My name is Jennifer Peña and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 5 years experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults both within inpatient and outpatient therapeutic capacities.

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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
