I couldn’t be more grateful for Yazmin’s support. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly responsive and efficient, always quick to get back to me when I reach out. Her approach is both professional and compassionate, making me feel truly heard and understood. One of the things I appreciate most about Yazmin is her proactive use of worksheets and other tools to help me work through my challenges. These resources have been invaluable in my journey, providing me with practical steps and strategies that I can use in my daily life. Beyond her professional skills, Yazmin is also nice and kind. She creates a warm and welcoming environment in our sessions, which makes it easier to open up and discuss difficult topics. Her kindness and empathy make a significant difference in my therapy experience. I highly recommend Yazmin to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist. She has truly made a positive impact in my life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She is very knowledgeable, patient, and non judgmental. She is able to help you find a clear path to get better one step at a time.
Yazmin is so nice. Makes me feel so comfortable. She is so good
Having Yazmin as my therapist has changed my perspective of my life drastically. She has made me realize my worth as a person. I will definitely keep her for a while to help me more in the future.
She truly is so emphatic and makes me very comfortable. She is the best first therapist I could have gotten. After the first session I felt a huge weight off my shoulders and in a short time I already see the progress in my life.
So far so good we’ve only had one section so far and it was great
Excelente!
She's very knowledgeable of the issues I spoke of and she is supportive of my journey.
Yazmin has a way of finding things to relate to the way I feel, connecting on a personal level that makes me feel safe and secure and offers a wide variety of ways to help in bettering my mental health based off of past trauma
Yazmin was very easy to talk to, very consistent with her feedback and suggestions and I was able to open up quickly. I really enjoyed talking to someone with a diversified background to connect even deeper. She is motherly and caring and kind person.
She's awesome. She listens and responds depending on what was said. :)
Yazmin is so patient, caring and I think of her as my number one cheerleader. She is always filling me with words of encouragement and motivation. She is an exceptional listener and I feel as though she's really gotten to know me and pinpoint the areas in which I struggle with. She's always giving me resources to further support me and challenge the negative way that I tend to think. Really enjoyed our sessions together! I would strongly recommend her!
