Cruz Yahaira Barrientos

There's a difference between getting through your days and actually feeling like yourself again, and if you've lost track of that feeling, you're exactly who I work with. I support adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and the kind of life transitions that quietly wear a person down over time. I also work with clients managing the emotional weight of chronic health conditions like diabetes, where the toll on your mind is just as real as the toll on your body. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish, so you can talk about what's going on in whichever language feels most like home.

We move at your pace, not mine. Together we'll get clear on what's actually affecting your well being, name the strengths you already have even if you can't see them right now, and build coping strategies that hold up outside of our sessions, not just inside them. I go deep rather than wide, and for many clients that means real, sustained work on anxiety and stress management, since that's where I can offer the most. Clients who do well with me are usually ready to be an active partner in their own care, bringing their story and their goals so we can build the plan around them.

Our first session is simply a chance for you to share what's bringing you in and what you're hoping will be different, with no pressure to have it all figured out beforehand. I'll walk you through how I work and leave plenty of room for your questions along the way. If any part of what you just read sounded like you, I'd be glad to hear from you.
