I work collaboratively with my clients, grounding myself in a humanistic-existential perspective. I am honored to be a part of my clients’ journeys as they move through life.

My name is Dr. Jenna Mercadante. When working with individuals seeking treatment, I take a person-centered, holistic approach, focusing on the clients particular needs, preferences, and strengths and incorporating those into a practical & collaborative treatment plan. I see individuals as more than their psychiatric diagnosis, and thus, I seek to encourage personal growth & recovery (as opposed to only symptom reduction). In terms of treatment, I take a cognitive -behavioral therapeutic approach while incorporating mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness is simply intentional focusing, non-judgmentally, in the present moment.

I help those struggling with anxiety, depression, work/life stress, imbalance, and relationship struggles . Much of my clinical experience has involved working with women through various life stages.

To best support this population, I obtained training through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and received my certification in perinatal mental health.

.Are life's pressures wearing you down? Have you lost energy for people or activities you once enjoyed? Are you feeling stuck and unsure of how to change your current life situation? Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, a difficult childhood, relationship issues, low self-esteem, or something else, change is possible. Therapy sessions begin with relationship building as you share the concerns that led you to therapy. I want to hear your story and understand the life circumstances that brought you to your current situation. We will then work together to create a plan for therapy that feels right for you.

I view the mental health recovery process as similar to climbing a mountain: the first steps may feel overwhelming at times, however, therapy is a partnership where I can provide tools that help my clients get where they would like to go, while also building resiliency and strength for the future. Throughout the process, I will provide encouragement and at times, remind you to look back at how far you have come. Furthermore, I provide a non-judgmental and empathic space for this journey to occur.

I am a Licensed Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ) to help you challenge negative cognitions and core beliefs about oneself, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process old traumatizing or distressing memories, and Motivational Interviewing to help you identify and meet your goals. I am passionate about the work that I do and compassionate towards your life challenges.

I do problem solving; figuring out with you what is the nature of the problem which brings you to me and what can we do about it. Mostly I treat anxiety and depression. Mostly, too, I use cognitive and behavioral therapies, sometimes EMDR, and sometimes whatever is needed. I treat you the way I want to be treated. If you want someone fully plugged electronically, that's not me. I have been a psychologist since 1975, in practice since 1987 and taught psychotherapy. Recently I'm also exploring the connections between food and mood.
