I’m a licensed clinical social worker and addiction specialist with approximately eleven years of experience working in both acute and community-based settings. I work from an integrative, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed orientation with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and major life transitions. My practice is grounded in respect for autonomy and self-determination, with a foundation of unconditional positive regard and a nonjudgmental approach. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels collaborative, safe, and attuned—particularly for those who may feel overwhelmed or underserved by traditional systems of care. I believe therapy can be both stabilizing and transformative: a place to develop and strengthen coping strategies while also exploring the deeper patterns, experiences, and relationships that shape our lives. My goal is to support each person in moving toward greater clarity, agency, and meaningful change, at a pace that feels right for them.

You may be going through big changes in life, fatherhood-motherhood, new marriage, professional challenges, or facing illness, getting older, losing people close to you, moving to a new place, starting over after divorce, or adjusting after a breakup or a change in your military life. These experiences can make anyone wonder who they are, how they relate to others, how they make decisions, and how they deal with grief, change, and conflict. Life keeps giving me chances to adjust to changes in my body, feelings, thoughts, and spirit. Some days are easier than others, and that’s just part of being human. I see it as a way to keep getting stronger, more flexible, and better at handling life.When my emotions feel really strong, I may feel pulled in different directions. But reaching out, connecting with someone, and taking action usually helps me stay resilient and keep moving forward.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably carrying something heavy — and you may have been carrying it longer than you should have had to. I’m glad you’re here. I’m an LMFT licensed in both New York and New Jersey, and I work with adults who are navigating some of life’s most emotionally demanding seasons: parenting stress, relationship strain, depression, ADHD, and the kind of high-functioning exhaustion that doesn’t always look like struggle from the outside but absolutely feels like it. My approach is relational at its core. I believe that healing rarely happens in isolation — it happens in connection. Before any technique or homework assignment, I prioritize building a therapeutic relationship where you actually feel safe enough to be honest. That foundation isn’t just good therapy etiquette; it’s what makes everything else possible. From there, I draw on a range of evidence-based frameworks — attachment theory, CBT, DBT, and person-centered approaches — tailoring the work to what you specifically need rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Some clients need tools and structure. Others need space to process and be witnessed. Most need both, at different moments. I’ve worked with many people who came to therapy after putting it off for a long time — sometimes years. What kept them away was often fear: fear of judgment, fear of being misunderstood, or simply not knowing what therapy was supposed to feel like. I take that seriously. My goal from the very first session is to help you feel less alone in what you’re facing, and more capable of moving through it. You don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out. That’s what we’re here to do together.

My name is Jasmin Bonilla. I’m a wife and proud pet parent, originally from the Bronx. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Care Coordinator supporting individuals with emotional, intellectual, and developmental disabilities, which shaped my compassionate and individualized approach to care. Clients often share that our work together has not only improved their relationships, but also the way they navigate life’s challenges overall. I deeply value each person I work with and feel honored to be part of their support system. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.
