As a therapist my goal is to break the stigma that comes with therapy. I strive to create a collaborative, nurturing therapeutic relationship that can help transform one's pain or uncertainties into one of healing. Life can be difficult and sometimes confusing therefore I want to create a corner where one can feel safe, understood, and free of judgement.
My work is grounded in behavioral therapy, and a firm belief that people can change. I prefer a flexible and collaborative approach that evolves as we work together. Though the foundation of my work is behavioral, I develop integrated treatment plans for each new client, drawing on other evidence-based modalities and new research.
I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals heal, grow, and achieve meaningful change. I know that starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin. My goal is to create a warm, supportive environment where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. What drives me most is the belief that everyone has the capacity to grow, adapt, and reconnect with themselves. My work is inspired by a genuine appreciation for each person’s unique story, and by the transformative power of empathy, understanding, and trust.
My name is Yer and I have worked in the field of mental health and wellness for 15 years. I have provided therapy services to children and adults of all ages and backgrounds. It is a privilege for me to help individuals work through varying challenges and to help them identify and meet their therapy goals. Insuring clients feel heard, empowered and included in their care are a priority for me.

I believe that most people are either stuck repeating a cycle of generational trauma, or carrying the burden of bravely breaking that cycle. You deserve to break that cycle by discovering and embracing your best self, without fear or shame. But I understand that this is not always easy. I can help you break down the barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals and assist you on a transformative journey to becoming the person you want to be.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Monrovia
Searching for therapists in Monrovia starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Profiles can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Monrovia, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical factors such as appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their session format fits your schedule. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Monrovia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
