Hello! My name is Yadira Herrera Escarrega, I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker providing psychotherapy services via tele-health in the state of California. I received my Masters degree in Social Work from California State University, East Bay. I continued my training as a registered Associate with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences at public and private schools supporting the preschool-12th grade population and their parents. I have been practicing clinical social work for five years. As your therapist, I can offer you a safe, non- judgmental and empathetic space for you to freely express yourself, your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will briefly get to know each other, and then review the present difficulties and challenges that you are facing. This will pave the path for our work together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

As a bilingual, spanish-english, bicultural women of color, born and raised in the bay area, raised by immigrant parents and a parent to neurodiverse children, I hold a particular lens and perspective that I utilize to best support my clients. As an eclectic therapist, I tailor different evidence based modalities to meet the individual needs of my clients. I am a culturally sensitive, trauma informed therapist well versed in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness interventions to support the therapeutic process and growth of my clients. I am certified as an autism spectrum disorder clinical specialist with vast experience working with individuals diagnosed with ASD and their parents.
