She serves all folx residing in New York who seek understanding of how their patterns have been shaped and how there is capacity for growth within those patterns.

Jessenia has provided therapy to those in hospital, non-profit, and community mental health clinic settings. She’s worked with adults, children, and families throughout the years. Ultimately, her experiences led to her focus on exploring patterns that often appear in anxiety, depression, interpersonal trauma, and identity development all of which informs the relational lens practice that is Capaz Counseling.
Jessenia supports the view that wellness is an act of resistance and uses therapy to affirm, empower, and inform. She centers her work on helping folx understand how their parts of self is shaped by their encounters, and how they can ultimately form a different pattern that supports the resilience that already lies within them.
