Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor, LMHC

Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor brings more than 23 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through major life transitions, trauma, and relationship challenges. She combines academic training - a B.S. and M.S. in Psychology and an Ed.D in Counseling Psychology - with decades of hands-on work in areas such as domestic violence, child abuse, marital counseling, developmental disabilities, parenting skills, grief, anger management, and crisis response.

Her practice emphasizes a compassionate, client-centered stance informed by practical therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused approaches. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - a credential that indicates advanced training and clinical licensure - and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, she supports clients with a calm, respectful, and empathetic presence while offering tools and resources to promote coping and growth.

Dr. Mentor draws on personal experience as well as professional knowledge. She has navigated profound losses including the deaths of a child, parents, and a spouse, went through divorce and remarriage while parenting as a single caregiver for several years, cared for both of her parents, and is a breast cancer survivor. She cites faith, family, friends, and professional help as key supports in her own journey, which informs her commitment to genuine, trusting therapeutic relationships.

She works with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting and family dynamics, addictions, LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and challenges tied to life changes and caregiving. Her goal is to listen without judgment, offer psychoeducation and practical strategies, and create a warm, professional environment where clients can explore change and build resilience.
