All About Jenna

Jenna is a holistic and integrative therapist who is passionate about making therapy a meaningful, joyful experience. Most clients choose to work with her because of her down-to-earth authenticity and her nontraditional, active, creative, hands-on approach to therapy, which provides her clients with the emotional support and concrete tools and skills that they need to realize significant and observable change.

Starting her professional journey as an elementary school and then high school educator, Jenna has always been drawn to supporting individuals on their paths towards growth and transformation. Since graduating with her Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, Jenna has worked in both school and private practice settings and has traveled throughout SE Asia to extensively study and train in Buddhist Psychology, meditation, yoga, and mindfulness techniques. In 2022, Jenna founded Peace of Mind Therapy NYC with the hopes of bridging the gap between Eastern and Western healing modalities and creating more comfort and joy in the therapy process.


Her Philosophy

Jenna exudes an infectious energy that combines authenticity, warmth, humor, and transparency. Creative and nontraditional in her approach, Jenna doesn't believe in a "one size fits all" mentality and uses a variety of integrative and holistic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, Solutions-Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapies, Ego work, and Buddhist Psychology.  Her diverse education, professional qualifications, and personal experiences uniquely equip her to address the connection between mind, body, and spirit.

With a genuine passion for building deep connections with her clients, Jenna approaches each session with an open heart, cultivating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore and share without fear or shame. Jenna knows what it's like to hurt and to heal, and she will be right there alongside you during the whole process. Taking a more active role in sessions, Jenna believes it's important to be a collaborative partner in the therapeutic process by offering feedback, insight, and teaching concrete skills and tools.

Rooted in trust, compassion, and a profound understanding of the human experience, Jenna's approach is supportive, empowering, motivating, transformative, and joyful.

What clients have to say about Jenna

“Jenna always taught me something new and helped me learn how to better myself. There are no words to explain all the ways that she helped me in my life. I still look at all of the papers she gave me about cognitive thinking, and anytime I need a reminder, I go back and read over my detailed notes. Without Jenna, I would not be the person I am today. I am forever thankful for her working with me during my darkest times."

Adriana

"When I first sought counseling, it was during the time when I lost loved ones during the pandemic. During our months together, Jenna was able to assist in navigating my times of trauma, depression, grief, and loss. We automatically developed a therapeutic relationship, and she provided me with the tools necessary that helped me through life’s challenges. There is a plethora of therapists out there, but I’m forever grateful for Jenna and her contributions to my life."

Earl

"Everybody needs a Jenna"

Jillian

"No matter where you find yourself on your journey, Jenna has the knowledge, tools, and, most importantly - an excellent, empathetic lens to help foster personal growth along the way. From my initial session, Jenna has highlighted my strengths and provided me with meaningful feedback and skill sets to help promote my growth in virtually every aspect of my life. My only regret is not starting with Jenna sooner."

Brianna

"I was always good at building great relationships with adults in my life, but my junior year of high school, I was blessed with Jenna as my counselor. Jenna helped me think about my future and what I wanted to do for a potential career and how to be successful. She has made a tremendous impact on me. I could never thank her enough!"

Shanty

"Working with Jenna cracked my heart open in so many ways. I have seen and felt myself change, shift, grow and accelerate. I am now able to give myself so much more grace, compassion and ease. Her approach is uplifting and unique. Jenna always had the most beautiful wisdom to share that I will never forget. I left sessions feeling deeply seen, supported, cared for and with resources to guide me deeper each time. From the beginning, Jenna ensured my needs were met. I am deeply grateful for Jenna, she is an incredible resource to anyone seeking support."

Alison

“I always learn so much from Jenna. Every session is insightful, reflective, and calming. Especially during COVID-19, my anxiety has been hard for me. Her sessions are so helpful in allowing me to be more aware and committed to reducing my stress.”
