Meet Yasmin, LCSW: Your Ally in Navigating Life's Complexities
From Struggle to Strength: A Journey of Resilience
My path to becoming a therapist wasn't just a career choice—it was a calling born from personal experience. As an immigrant who became the first in my family to complete higher education while raising children as a single mother, I've navigated the choppy waters of poverty, chaos, and abuse. Now, I'm here to be the person I wish I had in my corner during those challenging times.
A Tapestry of Expertise
My areas of expertise are as diverse as the clients I serve:
Intergenerational and Racial Trauma
Immigration Challenges
Domestic Violence
Gender Diversity and LGBTQ+ Issues
Religious and Sexual Trauma
Neurodivergence and Addiction
Sex Work and Eating Disorders
Grief, End of Life, and Hospice Care
Think of me as your personal GPS through these complex terrains of life.
An Eclectic Approach for Unique Individuals
Just as I create unique recipes in the kitchen, I craft individualized treatment plans for each client. My therapeutic approach is a flavorful blend of:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
All seasoned with cultural sensitivity and intuitive understanding.
Beyond the Therapy Room
When I'm not in session, you might find me at the gym (I used to be a personal trainer!), cooking up a storm, or cuddling with my two rescue dogs. And yes, those tattoos you see? They're not just ink—they're symbols of self-expression and resilience.
A Trusted Partner in Crisis
As a preferred partner with Safe Nest and the Cupcake Girls, a certified Immigration and Forensic Social Worker, and a National Victim Advocate, I'm equipped to support you through life's most challenging moments. Whether you're dealing with domestic violence, navigating the immigration system, or seeking support as a first-generation American, I've got your back.
A Message from Me to You
Remember, "No estás sola/o" - You are not alone. Whether you're struggling with cultural expectations, battling shame, or feeling lost in a new country, I'm here to support, provide insight, and empower you.
Ready to start your journey towards healing and self-discovery? Let's team up and navigate this complex world together. After all, you're the expert in your own story—I'm just here to help you write the next chapter.
P.S. Did I mention I'm good-looking and charming? (Just kidding... or am I?) 😉
