Getting to know Yesenia Teran

Hi there, I'm Yesenia! Hello, my name is Dr. Teran, and I am an LMFT in California. I earned my Master’s in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for change and healing. Therefore, my approach is to build a securely attached therapeutic relationship with you during our time together. My approach I work from an attachment-oriented therapeutic approach. There may be some exploration of your past, but only as a means to understand how it impacts your present and to learn how not to let it affect your future. My focus I work with adults ages 24 and older, many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community. I have spent most of my career supporting people living with chronic medical conditions, especially HIV/AIDS. My communication style I am here to challenge you. It may get uncomfortable from time to time. I am very direct, but I always do so with a gentle approach that lets you know I can hold any response. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I was interested in working individually with people who are struggling and feel as though they have no one to turn to. I knew that experience all too well. I wanted to be someone who could show others that it is okay to heal and move past the things we are holding on to. My goals for you You are the expert in your life, and I am the expert in my profession. To set goals, I will ask you to focus on what you want out of therapy, and I will formulate the plan to get there. It may shift and change throughout the process, but it will always be in collaboration. My first session with you During our first session, you should expect questions and not much therapeutic work. This is simply for me to get to know why you are here and your story.
