About Me
Hi! My name is Jennifer Negron and I am a Master's level Clinical Social Worker. I identify as Latinx and bring culturally responsive, strength-based approach to my work. I provide services in English and have conversational Spanish skills. I am best suited for clients who are bilingual in English and Spanish. ​​In our work together, you can expect a safe, supportive space to process life stressors and challenges. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and understand the importance of honoring each person's unique story and cultural perspective.
​
My therapeutic approach is integrative, tailored to your needs, and rooted in evidence-based practices. Depending on your goals, I may draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), interpersonal therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These approaches can help address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions.

Services
The first step to change is not always easy but together we can create a new chapter - one where you can bloom, discover resilience, and develop effective coping strategies that support lasting growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is learning to tend to the garden of your mind- understanding what helps you grow, pulling out what hinds you, and giving yourself the care you need to flourish.
​
Picture your mind as a garden:
​
Thoughts are the seeds we plants. Some grow into flowers (helpful and realist thoughts), while others become weeds (negative and distorted thoughts).
Emotions can be like the weather - sometimes it's sunny, sometimes cloudy.
Behaviors are the actions we take to tend to our garden - watering, pruning, admiring, or neglecting.
​
​
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
TF-CBT can be seen as tending to a garden that has survived a storm. The ground may feel shaken, the roots exposed, and some petals torn away. But beneath the surface, the soil still holds life and strength.
​
This experience may appear as:​
​
Rebuild safety by replanting the roots in steady ground.
Understand what happened and tend to the damage sections of the soil.
Relearn nourishment through self compassion, self-regulation, and connection.
​
​
​
​
Person-Centered Therapy
Not every seed blooms at the same time or every flower needs the same sun. In person-centered therapy, we don't pull or push the petals open - we simply offer light, trust the process, and watch as each person finds their own way to grow.​
​
You can expect:​
​
Unconditional positive regard a steady, nonjudgmental warmth.
Empathy deeply attending to your needs, offering understanding that nourishes growth.
Authenticity the grounding foundation of honesty and realness, allowing roots to take hold securely.
​
​
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
SFBT is like tending a garden by noticing what's already blooming. instead of focusing on the weeds or what hasn't grown, it helps you explore methods to increase strength, hope, and possibility​. ​
​
As your own gardener you will:
​
Notice small signs of growth. Focus less on what feels stuck and more on what helps you move forward.
Invite curiosity about how those moments happened. Together, we identify the skills, coping tools, and inner resources you already have.
Encouragement to nurture those same conditions again to grow and expand on them.
​​
​
​
Dialectic Behavioral Therapy
Even the strongest flowers bend in the wind. DBT teaches the art of bending without breaking - of finding calm in chaos and remembering that every storm can feed the roots of growth.
​
Pathway may appear as:
​
Mindfulness tending the garden with presence, noticing what's happening without judgment.
Distress tolerance skills protecting the roots during storms, helping the plant survive unpredictable and harm weather.
Emotion regulation understanding the seasons of your emotions and learning how to respond to them with care.
Interpersonal effectiveness skills learning how to grow alongside other plants while sharing sunlight and space.
​
​
​​
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT supports growth from the inside out. ACT helps client learn to gently accept difficult emotions, step back from unhelpful patterns, and commit to actions that align with what truly matters to them.
​
Short overview:​
​
Acceptance gently make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them.
Cognitive defusion learn to step back from unhelpful thoughts so they don't crowd your growth and allow mindfulness.
Values clarify what truly matter to you- your personal sunlight and nourishment for growth and make meaningful steps forward, even when it feels uncomfortable.
