Jewel Juarez, MHC-I

Life can be overwhelming, and many individuals go through life without adequate support. That’s why I believe counseling can offer that space to slow down, feel understood and begin creating meaningful change. As a Mexican-American, born in Queens and raised in the Bronx, I spent my early years surrounded by individuals from diverse backgrounds who faced mental health struggles, the stigma surrounding them, and the lack of access to the support they need. 

Therefore, I am inspired to support clients by offering compassionate, culturally informed, emotional support and helping them navigate their path toward self-exploration. I hope to help individuals better understand the experiences that have shaped them while empowering them to work toward emotional well-being and personal growth. 

These experiences have influenced my work assisting youth experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as families working to improve their communication and emotional understanding through CBT and DBT techniques. My goal is to empower clients using person-centered, solution-focused, and behavioral therapy to develop practical coping and social skills that support their personal growth and well-being. After witnessing these struggles firsthand, I strive to create a supportive and culturally understanding environment where clients feel seen, heard and valued.
