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.

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.
