Getting to know Jessenia Acuna
Jessenia V Acuna
Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW
Jessenia Acuna, LMSW, is a holistic therapist passionate about healing and wellness. She is dedicated to helping families and individuals connect with themselves, build confidence, and gain the tools to empower themselves to live thriving lives.
Jess holds a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. During her time there, she worked with students at the Health and Wellness Center, creating programs across the Shanghai and New York campuses to support individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, women’s issues, life transitions, trauma, and racism. She has continued to help adolescents, adults, and families overcome challenges in clinical and therapeutic settings, focusing on career, parenting, interpersonal difficulties, attachment, and self-esteem.
Her holistic approach integrates CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Jess provides a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment that encourages personal growth. She works with individuals to discover new ways to heal and reconnect with themselves in a kind and compassionate way. In her time off, Jess dedicates herself to designing and creating healing communities online and in person to make wellness more accessible and empower individuals to create fulfilling, harmonious lives.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My mission is to give you a space that feel safe and comfortable enough for you to be yourself. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families discover new ways to heal and grow. During our first couple of sessions, we work collaborative to better understand your personal goals and allow the healing process to begin.
I believe therapy is one of many ways we can practice self-care. This journey is not an easy one and I understand that with right tools anyone can tap into their own inner resources to live a whole and meaningful life. Counseling requires self-reflection and commitment to questioning and rethinking the way we look at ourselves and the world. It means being mindful and present with our mind and body to uncover patterns and behaviors that once protected us but may no longer serve us. This can be especially difficult if we are used to moving at a fast pace with the world, hardly ever stopping to savor a moment. Sometimes doing everything “right” might even still feel like it is not enough. Together, we unpack and explore all dimensions of your wellbeing to really understand what contributes to your current struggles. My humanistic approach helps people from all backgrounds free themselves from limiting assumptions and attitudes so that they can life a fuller life.
