Yamile Manotas

Hello, my name is Yamile. Thank you for visiting my page. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have worked with all populations, law enforcement, the judicial and court systems, and with the department of children and families.

For the past 3 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents in crisis through a state-funded program. I am happy to say that working with adolescents and young adults has been the most satisfying and rewarding work that I have done thus far.

I love working with adolescents and young adults and specialize in working on self-esteem issues, parent-child conflicts, and depression and anxiety in adolescents and young adults.

The most important aspect of my clinical approach is ensuring that my clients feel seen and heard. That being said, there will be times when I have to challenge some of my clients’ behaviors. I do not judge or give personal opinions. My approach is client-centered but in order for my clients to be successful in reaching their goals, I commit to being genuine and honest with my clinical observations and opinions.

For a first session, you should expect for me to ask several questions relating not only to the current issues but also information related to prior treatment and current goals. I am interested in you sharing their stories with me and I am committed to going on the mental health rehabilitation journey with you.
