Jesus Juarez Renteria
Intern of Counseling
My name is Jesus, but I go by Favian. I am a master’s student in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I am very excited to be able to help individuals struggling with their mental health as I once did.
I will never forget that moment when, for the first time, I experienced self-love after attending therapy.
That moment changed my life and led me on my journey to become a therapist.
I want to help individuals achieve what therapy helped me do: Improve my mental health and better understand myself.
I will create the safe environment you need to dig deep and open up. A place where you won’t be judged and will
receive empathic listening. We will work together to better understand what is truly bothering you, the feelings you
are experiencing, and to find coping strategies that help you feel better and improve your mental health. I am passionate
about assisting clients to better understand, discover, and love themselves.
