Hello! My name is Yarei and I am excited to share with you how we may best work together to achieve your goals and overcome those hurdles which prevent you from living your best life. I am an authentic, energetic, and patient individual. I have helped others overcome challenging circumstances, and my own life experiences have allowed me to have a very patient and empathic response. To see someone walking in their full potential, free of hindrance, is truly one of my life's greatest joys.
I have a master's in social work (MSW) from the University of South Florida and am also a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with years of experience working with very diverse populations. I worked professionally with children, adults, and the aging population. Specifically, I worked in medical settings (both inpatient and outpatient) and not-for-profit organizations. I assisted individuals in overcoming depression, anxiety, fears, and trauma. I have also worked with adults and children who are processing grief, loss, and separation. Additionally, I partnered with those who are now facing a complex diagnosis or have a loved one with a difficult diagnosis. I prefer to use cognitive-behavioral therapy or solution-focused therapy with my clients as I believe my objective as a therapist is to walk with you and assist you in your current day-to-day life. While I acknowledge and honor your past, I work to assist you in becoming the absolute best person you can be in the present.
My demeanor is warm, kind, and energetic. I believe every person has amazing potential and a bright future ahead. I firmly hold to the truth that all things are possible and nothing is too difficult to overcome. I am a hope-filled individual who enjoys empowering others to see the many beautiful strengths that reside within them.
I recognize that seeking help is not always easy, but I believe that if you are an individual who truly wants to see positive change, we can work very well together. I look forward to walking with you into greater freedom and hope!

Yarei is extremely empathetic, patient and non-judgmental and helped me navigate a transitional time in my life. She is a great listener and cares about her clients. I felt that I could truly open up to her and that is what helped me make a lot of progress in my mental health!

I can say I would never have seen myself take the time to work though my feeling or even know how to start to communicate them. Yarei is a amazing listener and know how to ask questions to help reveal root trauma. Greatful for Betterhelp and my wife for encouraging to better my mental health.
Thank you for professional friendship.
