About Me
Life is a journey of twists and turns, hills and valleys, good times, and not so good times.
My name is Jacquelyn Mentor and I have experienced many difficult times such as the loss of a child, parents, and husband. At one time I was a divorced and remarried, which made me a single parent for a few years. I was a care taker for both my parents, plus I am a breast cancer survivor. I am survivor, because of my faith, family , friends, and professional help.
I have a B. S. and M.S. degree in Psychology. I also earned an Ed.D degree in Counseling Psychology. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Supervisor. My experience includes over twenty decades of working with families in the areas of domestic violence, child abuse, marital counseling, developmental disabilities, school issues, parenting skills, widowhood, anger management, behavioral issues, conflict resolution, relationship problems ,trauma, and crisis issues.
My goal is to listen, be non-judgmental, supportive, be sympathetic , empathetic , be respectful, and provide a warm safe confidential environment. I will also provide you with some tools in the form of helpful resources, because psychoeducation is very important. The therapeutic relationship will be genuine, friendly, relaxing, calm, and professional. Overall, I am trustworthy and have a passion for helping people.

Dr. Mentor is awesome! I was a little nervous to start therapy anticipating what it may bring up from my past, but taking with her feels like I am just having a chat with a friend! She wasn’t pushy and made feel so comfortable. She’s even helping me with choosing my college major and making sure I know what I am getting into and what the next step is. Can’t wait to chat again soon!
