Jennel Peña

APCC

Hi, I’m Jennel — an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, validated,  and understood — no matter your background, identity, or life experiences. I’ve always felt called to help others grow and heal, and I’ve had the privilege of working with  children, individuals and families from all walks of life. Whether you or your child are struggling with  life transitions, navigating relationship struggles,  or simply trying to understand yourself on a deeper level, I’m here to support you with compassion and care.

My Approach

I draw from a range of approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),  Play Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Humanistic techniques — tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. My goal is to make therapy feel accessible and collaborative. I aim to keep our conversations down-to-earth, supportive, and meaningful.
