Hi, I’m Yezenia, a therapist passionate about supporting women through ADHD, peri/menopause, depression, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based tools to help clients understand the patterns that keep them feeling stuck and to build practical strategies they can use every day. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to the unique challenges women face—whether it’s balancing multiple roles, managing emotional overwhelm, or navigating the impact of ADHD. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive partnership where you not only feel understood but also empowered to create lasting change.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by constant demands and limited space for personal reflection. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to pause, take stock, and reconnect with yourself. It’s a space where you can become more aware of your emotions, re-examine your choices, and move toward greater clarity and peace of mind. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can safely explore your feelings and experiences. My approach is client-centered and active, helping you uncover new perspectives and broaden your options. Together, we’ll work on overcoming doubt, managing difficult emotions, and building resilience in the face of life’s challenges. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, supporting them through emotional turmoil, family stressors, and communication issues that can impact their well-being. Whether you’re struggling with personal challenges or relationship difficulties, I’m here to help you break through roadblocks and find a positive, affirming path forward. We all want a life of significance and balance—and I believe that with the right guidance, these are not just dreams but achievable realities. Happiness isn’t a mysterious force; it’s the result of learning and practicing skills that anyone can develop. With my support, you’ll gain confidence, emotional resilience, and the tools you need to create a more fulfilling life. Let’s work together to improve your emotional well-being and help you get to a place where you feel comfortable, empowered, and ready to thrive.

I use a client-centered approach most often and evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy or motivational interviewing.

For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.

I began my career in neurofeedback, spending 7 years working with children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD, autism, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, and other neurodivergent experiences. I later gained 5 years of experience at a drug rehabilitation facility, supporting individuals on their recovery journey from substance use. From there, I spent 2 years at a survivor’s center, helping individuals heal from domestic violence, violent crimes, and grief. During this time, I also worked closely with the LGBTQIA+ community, including facilitating groups for individuals of the trans experience. I also worked for 5 years with children and adolescents transitioning out of a Baker Act and receiving sometimes getting into therapy for the first time, which gave me extensive experience in crisis intervention, family systems, and the importance of providing stability and hope during vulnerable times. Most recently, for the past 3 years, I have been serving clients through the Grow Therapy, where I’ve had the privilege of reaching individuals who previously struggled to access care or find a therapeutic connection locally. This work has strengthened my belief that therapy should be accessible, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique story.

Hello, my name is Nicole! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and what I do ! I am a licensed psychotherapist practicing in Florida. I love what I do and I am honored to have the opportunity to serve my community.I work with a variety of clients from ages 5-65 both in person and via telehealth; depending on client preference. I provide individual, couples and family therapy. I like to be very client centered in my approach; and combine techniques to meet you where you are, and work with you in a way that works for you. I tailor my approach specifically for you and your specific goals for our work together. What is important for you at the current moment, is where we will start :) In addition to a client centered approach, I also like to look at the entire person, and their lifestyle to take a more holistic approach to healing. I often combine ancient/traditional practices with modern psychotherapy for those clients who are open to it. Our bodies, minds and spirits are all connected - so it can be helpful to focus on all areas to create healing on all levels and help create the best quality of life possible for each unique individual.

You're not here to be "fixed." You're here to be heard. I’m a therapist who takes an eclectic, client-centered approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based techniques from CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness to help with challenges like anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, trauma and relationship dynamics. I don’t give advice because I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to listen closely, ask the right questions, and help you uncover the "why", "how", and "what" behind your choices with you. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping you find your voice, not mine.
