About Jenna Mercadante

Dr. Jenna Mercadante, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Pennsylvania. She has over 10 years’ experience working with adults with severe and persistent mental illnesses, including mood disorders, psychotic disorders, and anxiety disorders. She has experience treating combat-related trauma in military veterans utilizing Cognitive Processing Therapy, an empirically-supported treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Currently, she works with adults ages 18-95 treating a wide range of mental health issues, including Major Depressive, Bipolar, Obsessive Compulsive, Generalized Anxiety, Panic, and Attention Deficit Disorders. She supervises psychology doctoral students at the clinic. Dr. Jenna would be a good fit for you if you have a pre-existing clinical diagnosis and/or are seeking diagnostic clarity.

When working with individuals seeking treatment, she takes a person-centered, holistic approach, focusing on the client’s particular needs, preferences, and strengths and incorporating those into a practical & collaborative treatment plan. She views individuals as more than their psychiatric diagnosis, and thus, seeks to encourage personal growth & recovery (as opposed to only symptom reduction). She utilizes a Cognitive-Behavioral therapeutic approach while incorporating mindfulness techniques, focusing on the thoughts that fuel unhealthy patterns and learning different ways of responding to these thoughts.
