Getting to know Yoana Armendariz

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing services to clients across California via telehealth. I work with adolescents, adults of all ages, and families. I specialize in trauma, identity, stress management, anxiety, and depression, utilizing a variety of treatment approaches, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Strength-Based Therapy. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Baptist University. My goal is to help clients make meaningful progress and improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is centered around the individual needs and goals of each client. I believe in meeting clients where they are and creating a collaborative environment for growth. I primarily use CBT, SFBT, and Strength-Based Therapy to guide clients in overcoming challenges and achieving their objectives. By tailoring my approach, I focus on practical strategies, building on clients' strengths, and creating lasting positive changes that align with their values and aspirations. Together, we work to move forward with purpose and confidence. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, and families for over twenty years. My style and approach are a good fit for individuals facing challenges related to life transitions, trauma, and daily life hurdles. These challenges often manifest as identity crises, stress management, anxiety, and depression. I work with clients to navigate these transitions, build skills to improve their well-being, develop a positive outlook on life, and feel confident in their ability to handle future challenges. My communication style is empathetic and nonjudgmental, fostering a supportive environment. I prioritize creating a space where clients feel safe and valued, allowing open and honest dialogue, and helping clients explore their feelings and experiences.
