Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Yadira Cardenas and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of California. I am fluent in Spanish and enjoy working with adults of all ages. I attended California State University, San Bernardino where I received my Masters Degree in Social Work, specializing in Mental Health. I have been practicing in the field since 2007 and have grown in my skill set to help my clients navigate life's challenges.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I provide telehealth services to help support individuals during difficult life circumstances and transitions. I use a strength-based & holistic approach in helping clients identify their inner strengths to help them navigate presenting struggles. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness practices to help clients implement tools to better manage life stressors.

What you can expect from our first session

My goal in working with individuals is to understand what they hope to accomplish in therapy and provide them with realistic goals to help improve their presenting circumstances. Establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with my clients is key to building trust and confidence during their therapeutic experience. We will work together to establish realistic goals and discuss treatment progress as sessions progress.
