Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or substance use challenges begin affecting your relationships, daily functioning, and overall well-being. You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, struggling to cope with painful experiences, or unsure how to move forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief and loss, substance use concerns, stress management challenges, ADHD, anger management issues, cultural and ethnic identity concerns, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them or overwhelmed by life's demands. Together, we'll create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, identify your strengths, and develop healthier ways of coping. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful changes that support healing, emotional wellness, and long-term personal growth.

Growing up in the Bronx as a first-generation Dominican American shaped how I think about mental health — and who I became as a therapist.

I'm Yesenia Aponte, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist. I've spent 8 years working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the specific weight of living between cultures. I work with clients from all backgrounds, but I have a particular connection to clients from immigrant families, Latinx communities, and anyone who's ever felt like a therapist didn't fully understand their world.

I got into this work because mental health support wasn't always visible or accessible in communities like the one I grew up in. Beyond my practice, I'm involved in community outreach and advocacy to make mental health less stigmatized and more reachable — especially for people who've been told it's not "for them."

I also offer therapy in both English and Spanish.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, specializing in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping you feel genuinely understood.

Whether you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or simply ready to better understand yourself, therapy with me is a space where we work together at your pace. I believe healing happens through safety, insight, and healthy relationships.

I am committed to supporting survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence, as well as other mental health professionals seeking clarity, encouragement, and a safe space to explore.

Sometimes life doesn't just change, it collapses: divorce, betrayal, a custody conflict, or a future that looks nothing like what you planned. I'm Allyn Latorre, a licensed clinical social worker who has spent over a decade helping adults rebuild after exactly this kind of disruption. My approach is direct, practical, and trauma-informed. You don't need to have it figured out before reaching out; most people call me in the middle of something overwhelming, and that's exactly the right time to start.
