Hi! I am Yami Daher, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona. I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University in 2015 and have been practicing for over 10 years. My career began as a suicide prevention crisis counselor at Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services in Los Angeles, CA. More recently, I worked extensively with teens facing depression and anxiety, including group work with their families. I enjoy helping individuals and families improve their communication and understanding of one another. I am Spanish/English bilingual and able to practice in both languages.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect a warm, thoughtful and nonjudgemental presence. If they are nervous or hesitant to open up at first, I am able to ask questions that make them feel comfortable and safe sharing their fears and concerns. From there, we are able to begin on a path that allows me to offer initial suggestions that will start our course of treatment.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am able to get to the root of the problem in a short time. I am empathetic and understanding while also holding my clients accountable and helping model behavior. I am able to offer clients new perspectives that they may not have been able to see before.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Compassion Focused
I strive to create a safe environment where my clients can feel safe and heard. I am an active listener who excels at being empathetic and nonjudgmental. I ask deeper questions to gain a comprehensive understanding of who my client is and how to best address their individual needs.
Supportive
My style of therapy encourages a relationship in which clients feel validated and heard. I seek to enable my clients to recognize their own behavior patterns and empower them to make changes in their own lives. I see myself as a resource for motivated clients to better themselves through self-reflection and taking specific actions to address their challenges.
Family Therapy
One of my biggest passions in the field is working with different family members to help understand one another. It is my goal in this type of therapy to filter through the strong emotions and clarify the core messages of each family member. I have specialized training in family systems and extensive experience working through conflicts between parents and their children.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I help clients to create goals and come up with ways of attaining them. By first taking an interest in hearing out my clients and focusing on the roots of their conflicts, I seek to then implement a plan of action with them. This modality is less focused on examining deep-seated issues, but instead favors establishing a timeline to confront difficult situations that the client is dealing with in the present.
