Getting to know Jennifer Almonte
My clients often say talking to me is more natural than they expected and closer to talking with a friend. I don't see myself as a formal therapist many people think of, but rather as a support person who helps you find your own way. With a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University, Brooklyn, I offer my expertise in a real, non-intimidating way.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Often talking through a problem with a supportive, knowledgeable person helps people solve issues and figure out their goals. I tend to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, such as reconsidering your perspective on a problem that keeps returning. We can easily get stuck in old patterns and not realize they’re not serving us anymore. I’m also known to assign homework, which my clients say really helps them put what we’re working on into practice.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

So far so good she’s very positive and eager to help with my situation. I’m looking forward to more sessions. I found Dr. Almonte very helpful in just one session, I can imagine what’s to come.

I am so happy that I booked my appointment with Jennifer! She was so sweet and made me feel completely comfortable. I have avoided therapy for quite some time because of my fear of being uncomfortable. Jennifer instantly made me feel comfortable, supportive, and heard. She explained everything completely and asked if I had any question. I had a great session and look forward to my next session. I would highly recommend Jennifer!
