Janelly Santos

Therapist

Hi I’m Janelly! I am a therapist and I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ). I have been working in customer service for the past five years and I always held the importance of being genuine and kind to others. I believe that being kind and genuine is important when it comes to the counseling field because it can create a safe environment to talk about things that are impactful. When it comes to mental health, I view it as something important because we are humans and anything can happen unexpectedly.

A little bit more about me is that I am a first-generation college student and I speak Spanish as well! As a first-generation college student, I had to face a lot of challenges that have impacted my mental health when I first started college in 2017 but throughout my academic journey I learned a lot about taking care of my mental health. What I learned throughout my education is that mental well-being can take time and that self-care can be helpful during your path towards healing. I am committed to helping others learn more about themselves throughout their healing journey by providing a non-judgemental, empathetic, and welcoming environment to work together. I believe that working together towards a healthier mentality can create a difference in life and I am passionate about helping others throughout their healing journey!

 I am passionate about helping others throughout their healing journey!
