About Yasmilet
Growing up as a first-generation Latina, I lived between two worlds—the American culture around me and my family’s Mexican heritage. Navigating those two cultures wasn’t always easy. There were language barriers, financial struggles, and the challenge of seeing my parents, who were also trying to figure things out as immigrants, do their best with what they had. That created a unique set of challenges and responsibilities early on in my life. As a young mom balancing work and college, I was searching for purpose and a sense of direction. Therapy became a turning point for me—it helped me through postpartum emotional challenges, anxiety, and the adjustments I was facing. More than that, therapy taught me about boundaries, self-love, and shifting my mindset. That experience inspired me to pursue a career where I could provide that same hope and support to others. I attended Cal State University, Long Beach, and earned my Master of Social Work degree from Cal State Northridge. Becoming a provider felt like a natural extension of my journey—using my background, my struggles, and my education to help others navigate their challenges. It’s deeply fulfilling to be able to walk alongside individuals, especially those who, like me, may be straddling different worlds and seeking guidance and healing.
Focus Areas
I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating life transitions, emotionally overwhelmed, or feeling stuck despite appearing “high-functioning” on the outside through therapy. Clients are often caregivers, professionals, new mothers, or women juggling multiple roles, who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, postpartum challenges, or struggling with self-worth, boundaries, or unresolved childhood experiences. I provide a supportive space to explore the root of what’s going on while helping you build practical tools to manage stress, reconnect with your values, and feel more in control of your emotional world.
