I work with adults 18 and older who feel anxious, depressed, distracted, emotionally overwhelmed, burned out, or unlike themselves. They may be struggling with ADHD, mood changes, stress, sleep disruption, low motivation, or difficulty functioning in daily life. Many are looking for mental health care that feels thoughtful, thorough, and individualized.

I am passionate about helping individuals realize that they have the ability to choose growth and freedom. I enjoy helping individuals find their identity, self confidence and the greatness within themselves that will allow them to achieve the growth that they want. I have experiencing helping individuals with depression, anxiety, life transitions, spiritual issues, grief and trauma work. I work primarily with adults.

I bring over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, working with diverse populations across a variety of care settings—from inpatient hospitals to outpatient clinics and private practice. These experiences have deepened my respect for each person’s unique story and strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from Dallas Baptist University and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, EMDR Certified, a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP), and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I also have specialized training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, and eating disorder treatment.

My work blends evidence-based trauma therapies with mind-body and intuitive approaches, honoring that healing happens in the brain, body, nervous system, and energetic field.

Hello! My name is Yaritza. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) TX #80888 & FL #TPMC5727, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-I), and a national board-certified counselor (NBCC). I am bilingual (English & Spanish), and I have been working in the mental health field since 2009. My experience includes working at community mental health agencies and, most recently, at a major insurance company.

I have a Ph.D in Counseling. I've been a therapist since 1984 and I listen very well. I help clients with anxiety, depression and relationship issues and more.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment while also challenging patterns that may no longer serve you. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, difficulty setting boundaries, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Together, we'll explore how these patterns developed, strengthen your self-understanding, and build practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.
