Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor , LMHC

Dr. Jacquelyn Mentor is a Florida-based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families across a wide range of life challenges. She holds a B.S. and an M.S. in Psychology and earned an Ed.D in Counseling Psychology, a doctoral degree focused on advanced training in counseling theory and practice. Her professional background includes long-term work with families affected by domestic violence, child abuse, marital conflict, developmental disabilities, school-related concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and crisis situations.

Her personal journey has also informed her approach to care. She has navigated significant losses including the deaths of close family members and the loss of a child, experienced divorce and a period as a single parent, served as caregiver for both parents, and is a breast cancer survivor. Those life experiences contribute to a compassionate, grounded perspective when supporting others through grief, relationship changes, health challenges, and major life transitions.

Dr. Mentor emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that blends empathy, respect, and practical psychoeducation. She offers tools and resources to support coping and skill building while maintaining a calm, professional presence. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, parenting and intimacy-related concerns, among other areas. As a licensed counselor, she brings both formal training and lived experience to help people move toward greater resilience and clearer choices.
