Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Yasmine Paez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I’m passionate about helping teens, young adults, adults, and parents navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, therapy can provide the support and tools to help you move forward with confidence.

My approach to therapy

I believe healing happens in a safe, supportive relationship where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. My approach is warm, collaborative, and results-oriented, blending evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and other proven strategies tailored to your unique needs. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns, build effective coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, my focus is getting to know you—your story, your strengths, and what brings you to therapy. We’ll work together to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and helps you feel supported every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, your teenager, or your family, you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I look forward to helping you take the next step toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.
