“Jennifer is an excellent listener. She is kind an empathetic and makes you feel safe and cared for. She's helped see through what seemed like a giant insurmountable blob of a problem into smaller pieces I could work on, giving me the tools to do so. Therapy was so intimidating to me for so long and now I recommend it and Jennifer specifically to anyone looking to turn their own introspection into progress. I can't speak highly enough of Jennifer. ”

“I have been seeing Ms. Mounty for about 2 years now. She is a wonderful listener and provides really helpful and thoughtful insight on the issues we discuss during my therapy. She helped to realize things about my behavior that I never would have thought of otherwise. Things that I thought were my fault I now understand are symptoms of a mental state that I had no control over. She is incredibly nonjudgmental and I always feel safe, seen and heard when we speak. I am very grateful to have found her. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a competent professional with which to begin or continue your therapy journey.”

Getting to know Jennifer Mounty

My experience as a therapist spans over 20 years. Therapy is an exploration of the past to better understand the present and work towards the desired future. So what makes therapy work? Warmth * Trust * Understanding * Not Feeling Judged * Corrective Experiences * Guidance * Caring * Empathy * Feeling Safe * Honesty * Every person is an individual with different life experiences, values, thoughts, and feelings. With that said, my approach in therapy is based on the needs of the particular person I am working with at the time and not on a specific theory or diagnosis. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and nurturing environment in which the client is able to better understand who they are, what has brought them to this point in their life, and where they would like to see themselves in the future. Feeling able to connect and communicate is the foundation of any relationship. The need to feel heard and understood is universal to all people. The relationship between the client and the therapist is a very unique one. I believe that the therapeutic process is a collaborative one in which the client and the therapist both take active roles. Therapy works with the right therapist; unfortunately, many people have had bad experiences that often make it difficult for them to try again. I am a caring, honest, empathetic therapist who is serious but still has a sense of humor. Over the years, I have worked with individuals from many cultural backgrounds and belief systems. My areas of expertise include working with PTSD/Trauma, Depression, LGBTQ, Anxiety, HIV/AIDS, Relationships, Poor Self-Image/Insecurity, Crisis, Guilt, Stress, Anger, and Bereavement. I hold a Master's in Social Work and a Certificate in Clinical Practice from New York University, which have equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide effective, compassionate care.

Jennifer is an excellent listener. She is kind an empathetic and makes you feel safe and cared for. She's helped see through what seemed like a giant insurmountable blob of a problem into smaller pieces I could work on, giving me the tools to do so. Therapy was so intimidating to me for so long and now I recommend it and Jennifer specifically to anyone looking to turn their own introspection into progress. I can't speak highly enough of Jennifer.
I have been seeing Ms. Mounty for about 2 years now. She is a wonderful listener and provides really helpful and thoughtful insight on the issues we discuss during my therapy. She helped to realize things about my behavior that I never would have thought of otherwise. Things that I thought were my fault I now understand are symptoms of a mental state that I had no control over. She is incredibly nonjudgmental and I always feel safe, seen and heard when we speak. I am very grateful to have found her. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a competent professional with which to begin or continue your therapy journey.
Jennifer accompanied me on my journey of bereavement after my sister's murder and the illnesses leading towards my mother's death. No worked on tools to keep me centered, present and optimally functioning in my own life.
Jennifer is knowledgeable, professional & caring. Therapy with Jennifer has helped me tremendously and I would highly recommend her services.
My visits with Jennifer went really well. I was nervous about starting but she helped me feel at ease by going at my pace. She is gentle in her approach, and yet helped me to connect the dots of my own trauma and how that affects the way I feel on a daily basis, and the way I interact with the people and world around me. Jennifer helped me develop practical tips on how to deal with my depression and anxiety. At certain points in my therapy, when I would regress a little bit, she gently reminded me of our work together, and helped me get back on track.
Jennifer is very professional and committed to letting patients as me have a great experience and helping me understand that therapy is an opportunity to express my thoughts and have a clear understanding of my issues.
Jenn is the perfect amount of compassionate and honest. I look forward to our discussions each week and feel safe, heard and more in touch with my thoughts/ feelings since speaking with her. I would recommend her to any friend in need, she is so wonderful!
"I see Jennifer individually as well as for couples therapy. She has been wonderful in many ways: highly conversational, she guides us to find our own answers and to put things in perspective. Not only she analyzes our issues but also helps us with practical things, like referrals or resources. She has a sharp memory, is compassionate still keeping professional objectivity. And an animal lover to boot."
Jennifer has not only transformed my life in so many ways, but she has also become someone I can count on and trust. She has helped me understand myself and my past in ways that I could never have imagined. Jen is an active listener, genuine, compassionate, and extremely brilliant. She has had a tremendous positive impact on my life, and I cannot recommend her enough.
Jennifer has been my saving grace this past year. I don't think I could get back to finding myself again without her help & care.
I've been seeing this therapist for many years now and she has been a real gem and I have recommended her to a couple people and would do so in the future.
Jenniffer was natural. She never told me what to think or how to feel. The questions she asked were not intrusive or patronizing. I was able to open up because I felt she was genuine and warm.
In a way she saved my life. I had been in a very low point in my life and was very stubborn about seeing any therapist... especially after a bad experience with one. She's not the type to sit there, write your life story, give some advice and away you go. She's real and genuine in her approach with some humor thrown in that is professional but comforting.
I think highly of my visits. Jennifer is a compassionate & understanding listener & she is an intelligent and highly astute speaker. She understands what I am saying and motivates me to be open and honest. I look forward to my visits with her.
After many unsuccessful experiences with other therapists, I was recommended to see Jennifer Mounty. After one session, I knew she was right for me. Jennifer Mounty is one of the most kind, nonjudgemetal, patient, loving persons I have ever met. I said "person" because it's her person that carries these qualities to her therapy. Her insight is deep and I have never felt so safe with my feelings than with Jennifer. Anyone who is thinking about seeing a therapist, you couldn't get any better than with Jennifer Mounty!
Ms. Mounty provides focused compassionate care in a safe and non-judgemental enviorment. I highly reccomend her services to the LGBT community and the people who love them.
