Welcome & Bienvenidos! My name is Yami. I am Licence Clinical Social Worker, Bilingual in Spanish and English. I received my Masters from University of Southern California. I have been providing holistic care and support to individuals facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, life stress, and adjustment disorders. In the past 9 years I have worked with clients in the medical, community, and psychiatric settings. As a Christian therapist, I also offer spiritual support to those who seek it, integrating faith-based perspectives into therapy sessions as desired by the client. I understand the importance of addressing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—in the therapeutic journey.

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

It's wonderful that you're interested in starting therapy. As your therapist, I'm here to support you in understanding yourself better, managing challenges, and achieving your goals. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

I have a background in supporting individuals dealing with mental health challenges related to medical and situational stressors. My understanding of the complexities that arise from medical conditions and life stressors have been incredibly beneficial in helping individuals feel better and navigate their mental health journey.
