About Yael

Hello, I’m Yael

I often use the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to structure sessions, so we are focused and make good use of our time together. Yet, I also like to incorporate other approaches, common sense, and humor to adapt to each client.

I  prioritize what we do in a way that will help ease stress quickly, while still taking the time to understand and help clients resolve the underlying challenges that caused it in the first place.

I feel very grateful for a broad range of experiences and training to collaborate with my clients in a way that is creative and personally tailored for them. I currently only provide individual therapy for adults and can provide therapy in English and in Spanish.

I am a former attorney and Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with high-stress professionals, career-changers, and those who struggle with balance. I am naturally curious and love adapting my training and experience to each of my clients in a tailored way that makes sense for them.

I take the time to understand my client’s values and the realities of their lives to collaborate on ways to help them achieve more sustainable satisfaction in their lives and relationships.

My Beliefs

I firmly believe that therapy should be practical, relatable, and tailored to you. I understand the pressures and challenges of balancing a rich personal and professional life. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques with common sense, humor, and lived experience, empowering you to assert your needs, find your version of balance, and overcome self-doubt, living in a way that authentically aligns with your values. While I’m intentional in addressing more apparent problems on the surface, I enjoy supporting clients in long-term growth and fulfillment. Together, we'll navigate life's complexities with clarity, resilience, and compassion.
