Yvetta loves working with children, teens and adults. Yvetta believes the therapeutic process increases self-awareness, self-advocacy, motivation, personal growth and can decrease symptoms to create a more positive and meaningful life experience. She works with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, autism, family relational problems, behavioral and mood dysregulation disorders. Yvetta utilizes a Family Systems approach and client-centered services to treat the individual holistically. With Yvetta's direct approach and realistic optimism, she fosters her belief that people can change their circumstances for the better.
The first session is an information gathering session. We discuss in detail your reasons for seeking therapy. This includes people, situations and circumstances that have influenced your current position. The Therapist, individual and/or family member will develop a treatment plan, reflecting measurable and obtainable goals.
I have worked as an intensive in-home, ABA, mental health skill building and outpatient therapist. This has put me in a position to help the client create the appropriate structure/routine to promote results. I am experienced in guiding individuals in identifying negative thinking patterns and redirecting the person to identify positive outcomes to encourage positive self talk.
My passion is working with individuals who have difficulties with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, autism, family relational problems and behavioral and mood dysregulation disorders. I treat the individual by using a combination approach. This includes family systems, client-centered services, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
I use CBT to help my clients see how their thoughts and behaviors can lead to patterns causing anxiety symptoms. Once negative patterns have been identified, I will encourage my client to use positive and accurate statements along with coping skills to promote and produce positive changes.

I've seen Yvetta for two sessions and already I am smiling more, my mind is clearer, and I am less bogged down emotionally. Our conversations have a good flow, and she has great energy. She challenges me when I get in a mental spiral, and she reflects back what I'm saying in a way that makes my own thoughts clearer. Very pleased to be working with her.

She is very direct and does not beat around the bush with sugar coating or other fluff. For me, that is needed because I don't like pointless conversations, so having someone that gets straight to the point is absolutely needed. She also doesn't just go with what I say and challenges me to have hard external conversations or to make decisions that are needed that I may be prolonging. She doesn't just let me vent but encourages me to make changes for the better.

I struggle with anxiety, and working with Yvetta has been incredibly helpful. She is very solution-oriented and offers clear, practical recommendations that help me navigate my circumstances. I also appreciate how she brings fresh perspectives to situations, encouraging me to consider different angles I hadn’t thought of before.
