About me
I am licensed in Texas and New Mexico with 25 years of professional work experience in the mental health industry. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, trauma & coping with life changes.
A therapist can be a facilitator to help us navigate the path of healing that can often get overwhelming and emotional safety is key in your healing on your counseling journey. You will find that the answers lie inside of you, and a counselor can help you find those answers, hone in on your strengths, set realistic goals for yourself and excavate thoughts that no longer serve you. It takes work, but I believe you can do this, and we get back the work that we invest in ourselves. Taking the first step takes courage, let’s walk on your new journey together as you embark on becoming your best self, your highest version of you. I am proud of you for moving forward!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yolanda Vela. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
So grateful to Yolanda, incredible therapist, she helped tremendously. Always took the time to explain and answer any questions as to why, which really helped me manage my anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing. The tools provided I continue to work on even when all is going well. Yolanda was definitely a blessing for me. Thank you Yolanda.

Yolanda has an incredibly disarming and comforting presence. She taught me many key tools to reduce/manage my anxiety and depression. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

She’s a great therapist. Not only does she teach tools, she also used her personal experiences to help with my understanding of what I was going through

Very professional, yet makes you feel like a friend & not a patient. Gives a wide range of advice as far as coping mechanisms. She made me look forward to my sessions. Would recommend.
