Many people feel like they cannot ask for help or if they ask for help they will be rejected. We all have the capacity to make poor decisions, yet culturally in the United States, we shame and “other” people who are struggling with or have made past poor decisions. Whether you are running into challenges with new decisions, reconciling with past decisions, confronting transitions, or learning how to adjust to new situations, Jacenta can create space for you. Jacenta understands the balance of accountability and being non-shaming when holding space for others who are seeking help. She holds therapeutic spaces that encourage people to show up as they are and their authentic selves.

She believes that each person has innate wisdom within themselves for healing and therapy can be used as a guide to strengthening trust for their inner wisdom as they embark on their healing journey. Jacenta utilizes creative processes such as stories, mythology, comic books, manga, folklore to support the internal processes of others. Through a transpersonal art therapy lens, Jacenta understands the importance of various healing rituals that include but are not limited to meditation, guided visualizations, dream exploration, and art-making as an expression for the human experience.
