Getting to know Yazaret Torres Talley
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
“B.R.E.A.T.H.E - Be Ready to Experience All Things Healthy Every Day.”
This guiding principle reflects my approach to therapy and healing. With over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families, I am committed to helping people move beyond coping and toward meaningful, lasting transformation.
I specialize in life transitions such as marriage, divorce, relocation, grief, and other major life changes that can feel both destabilizing and transformative. I work extensively with individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse, as well as those who recognize narcissistic traits within themselves and are motivated to develop healthier relational patterns. My approach is compassionate, direct, and growth-oriented.
A central part of my work is honoring cultural identity. I believe healing cannot be separated from who you are - your culture, background, values, and lived experiences shape how you understand pain, relationships, and growth. I intentionally create space to acknowledge identity, integrate spirituality when desired, and incorporate holistic perspectives into treatment.
My approach is integrative and highly personalized. I draw from several evidence-based modalities - including CBT, DBT, psychoanalytic approaches, behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy - to name a few. These frameworks inform my work, but do not define it. I tailor treatment to each individual because healing is not one-size-fits-all.
Outside of my professional work, I am an animal lover who cares for unhoused animals by feeding them and creating safe shelters. I also work to help them find loving, permanent homes.
My goal is not simply symptom relief, but deep, authentic healing.
Yazaret Talley has a Master’s in Social Work from Lehman College. Yazaret is a Licensed Master Social Worker, LMSW 087695 at Cerebral. Supervised by Russell Baptist Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW 071815.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I specialize in supporting adults through various life transitions like career shifts, navigating parenthood, marriage and divorce. I see clients who have been shaping their identity based on other people's needs and desires and help them navigate how to start living their lives as their true self and for themselves. I have worked with individuals from all walks of life, including victims of narcissistic abuse and people in toxic relationships.
Life is a tapestry of experiences colored by our culture, background, and personal narratives. Throughout my 20 years in mental health, I've always been inspired by how our backgrounds and experiences make each one of us so diverse and vibrant. My goal is to help you understand and embrace each thread that makes up your unique pattern.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Because of my life journey and expertise in therapy, I give my clients genuine empathy and understanding so they feel safe throughout our therapeutic journey. I uniquely support the people I work with with compassion and knowledge which allows clients to navigate their thoughts and feelings in their own ways.

I've worked with Yaz for almost two years in couple's therapy. She has not only provided space for our healing, but she has also shared strategies that made possible our own ability to hold compassionate and safe space for one another. Yaz goes above and beyond to provide support in moments of need, making clear her investment in our collective well-being. I highly recommended that you consider her for your healing journey.

I’ve been working with Yaz for the past year, and I can honestly say she has been a life-changing support for me. From the very first session, she created a safe, compassionate space where I could open up about past traumas that I had carried for far too long.
She’s incredibly insightful, patient, and gives me practical tools that I use every day to help navigate life with more confidence and positivity. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve been able to process difficult experiences in a way that has helped me grow rather than stay stuck.
I truly feel like I’m finally moving forward, and I’m grateful to have her alongside me on this journey. If you’re looking for a therapist who is kind, understanding, and genuinely invested in your growth, I highly recommend her.

I am immensely grateful for the support and guidance I received from Yaz. Navigating the challenges of anxiety and the illness of my husband felt overwhelming, but her expertise made all the difference. Yaz created a safe and compassionate environment where I felt heard and understood. Her practical strategies and empathetic approach helped me develop coping mechanisms that have been truly transformative. I highly recommend Yaz to anyone seeking professional and caring therapeutic support.

Great! Sad my new job doesn't consider this an in-network. She always brought me down to earth when struggling with emotions, worries and fear. Yaz also made me think of things I didn't think of. She gives great support!

Yazaret was great! Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend much time in therapy with her (not her fault). In the short time, she helped me to see a few things differently and I am truly thankful for that. If you're looking for someone who is empathetic, funny, and understanding? Then, Yazaret is the therapist for you.
