Better Now
Therapy
Hello!
My name is Jasmine Cepeda, LCSW. I am a psychotherapist licensed in
New York, New Jersey, & Colorado, based in Brooklyn, NYC.
I believe all human beings want to be seen, understood, and accepted. As a therapist, I offer a warm, safe, and patient space for such an experience. We all need someone to empower, validate, and actively listen to us in an empathic way, which is what I strive to do.
​
With over a decade of clinical experience, my therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in helping individuals foster self-reflection and emotional expression. I guide clients through life transitions and help them process a diverse range of emotions, thoughts, traumas, and complex relationships that may cause distress. For instance, I assist clients in processing feelings such as worry, shame, guilt, fear, and sadness, while also facilitating acceptance, trust, hope, forgiveness, accountability, and a sense of enoughness. My practice is also trauma-informed, ensuring that the impacts of past traumas are validated and that safety and trust are established during the healing process.
With an eclectic therapeutic approach, I tailor my services to each person's unique needs, employing a combination of the following modalities: Emotion Focused/ Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness-based/Somatic-based Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. Please visit the Frequently Asked Questions section for additional details about these modalities. My approach is centered around helping clients develop self-esteem, authenticity, and emotional regulation skills through building a compassionate presence and mindful awareness. We focus on the present, while integrating the past and being courageously hopeful for the future, even if uncertain.
​
Utilizing the virtual therapy platform Doxy, I provide accessible and convenient care without compromising quality.
​
I am also the author of the books and guided journals: 12 Ways to Cope With Your Latina Mom & Her Difficulties and 12 Ways to Cope With Your Latino Dad & His Difficulties, available on amazon or through direct purchase.
​
Outside of therapy, my interest includes yoga and meditation!
​
Lastly, as a native New Yorker and first-generation Latina, with a background in social work, I approach therapy through an anti-oppressive lens.
