Jaquenetta has worked with adults, adolescents, and families with mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral health disorders in her paraprofessional career. Jaquenetta believes there is no cookie-cutter approach to treatment. Each situation is different. Therefore, in counseling, I like to utilize various evidence-based practices for treatment, including but not limited to Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing & Enhancement, Crisis Theory Intervention, and Existential therapeutic interventions.
