Find a Therapist in California KL

Hello, I am excited to work with and help individuals on their Mental health journey. My focus is to create a safe space for individuals to collaborate and reflect upon. So, individuals can grow and develop appropriate skills to deal with complicated life challenges and/or situations.

I have worked with all age groups, individuals, couples, and families., depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, anger management, chronic pain, fears, trauma, grief/loss, military families, personal growth, and life transitions. I utilized an array of therapeutic interventions stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic-based therapy, Strength-based therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Narrative therapy.

My  expertise  includes working as a hospice social worker who supported the emotional, psychological, and social wellness of end-of-life patients. I advocated to address the concerns and wishes of people in the later stages of their lives. 

I have experience navigating the school systems, IEP’s, and working with children with disabilities. My clinical rotation included serving a major metropolitan community at the capacity of mental health, chemical dependency, NICU, pediatrics, fetal demise, and underserved populations.

About me: I hold an Associate degree in accounting, a Bachelor of business administration, and a Master’s degree in Social Work. When I am not working with clients, I enjoy my family time and the happiest place on earth.  

I believe that taking care of your health and well-being while taking care of yourself gives you the power to lead the way to learning, skillset, growth, and gives you the chance for the initial transformation to occur.

I would be delighted and honored to have you join me on this journey of self-discovery, growth, education, and healing.

Welcome to The Center of Resiliency!

Hi, I’m Yna. My hope is to create a safe and compassionate space where you feel seen, heard, and supported throughout the process. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, stress, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I have a strong foundation in grief work, supporting clients as they process loss in all its forms, whether that involves a loved one or a significant life change. I value culturally sensitive and inclusive care, and I strive to support clients from all backgrounds who may feel unseen or misunderstood in their experiences.

My approach is grounded in client-centered therapy. I integrate a blend of Humanistic Therapy, Experiential Therapy including art therapy, and Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) to foster emotional expression, creativity, and mind-body awareness. I also draw from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and narrative approaches to help clients reframe unhelpful thoughts, explore meaning, and foster resilience and hope. I strive to make therapy a space where healing feels both accessible and empowering. 

I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College and have experience working with youth and families across school and community settings. Outside of my professional life, I find balance and inspiration in nature with my dogs, visiting theme parks, reading, and journaling.
