Getting to know Yesenia Cortez

Hi there, I'm Yesenia! Hello and welcome to my page! Congratulations on taking your first steps toward beginning your healing journey! I know it takes a lot of courage to begin this process and I am already immensely proud of you. For me, the greatest reward as a therapist is helping clients grow through discovering ways to make changes in their lives that allow for a hopeful future. I offer a warm, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed space for you to feel safe, validated, and authentic. I have experience working with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, struggles with processing grief, and cognitive distortions. My goal as a therapist is to be able to provide my clients with the tools, insight, and knowledge to be able to break free from previous negative coping strategies. Please feel free to contact me for a free, 15-minute phone consultation to determine whether we are a good therapeutic match, I look forward to hearing back from you! My approach The therapeutic approaches I utilize include and are not limited to Client-Centered Therapy; Cognitive Behavioral (CBT); Compassion Focused; Culturally Sensitive; Feminist; Gestalt; Heart Centered; Holistic; Mindfulness-Based; Multicultural; Narrative; Person-Centered; Positive Psychology; Psychodynamic; Racial Trauma Recovery; Solution Focused; Strength-Based; Supportive; and Trauma Focused My focus I enjoy working with professionals who are ready to work on themselves and heal. My ideal client has struggled with anxiety, depression, racial trauma, life transitions, women's and men's issues. My communication style I am empathetic but direct with my clients. Most people have "blind spots" and at times are unable to recognize when they have been in survival mode, and they can pick up negative habits/traits. I'd like to point that out to clients in a way that makes them feel aware and empowered to make changes. I also enjoy a collaborative approach and want clients to feel heard.
