My name is Yvonne Muzquiz and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for the past 23 years. I specialize with children/adolescence and parenting; helping families heal and grow together. I have worked with children and adolescents in various settings such as school systems, including alternative school settings, juvenile probation departments, disaster/ crisis recovery and psychiatric hospitals. During the last 5 years of my career, I have studied Somatic Experiencing helping people work through trauma and provide support through psychoeducation.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
We will spend some time getting to know each other and allow you to ask as many questions as you would like to feel comfortable with me. Together we can work on a plan that will meet your needs and help you and your family succeed. This is your choice, and I am happy to know you are taking the right step... I am here to guide you.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe the therapeutic relationship should empower the person to take ownership of their mental well-being. My role is to assist in that process.
Polyvagal Therapy
This therapeutic approach emphasizes the role the autonomic nervous system plays in regulating our health and behavior. I use polyvagal exercises and resources to restore wellness to people who have experienced life changing events. I have used the mind-body approach to help people work through trauma, anxiety, burnout and simply bringing an overall understanding and awareness to the body.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
Bridging the gap and building better relationships between parent and child/adolescents through play therapy exercises and parent training / education.
