Yadira Reyes, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yadira!

I help women and mothers move from survival mode to a more grounded, connected, and confident version of themselves. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in helping you explore your strengths while making space for healing and growth.

My focus

I support women, especially mothers, BIPOC women, first-generation professionals, and those navigating separation or divorce, who are feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected. Many of my clients carry the invisible weight of cultural expectations, family roles, or generational wounds.

My approach

Therapy with me is a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up exactly as you are. I meet you with compassion, curiosity, and respect. Together, we'll explore what's weighing you down, reconnect with your values, and build practical tools to help you feel calmer, confident, and in control.

My communication style

Clients describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I create a space where you don't have to filter your thoughts or have it all figured out. I listen closely—not just to your words, but to what's underneath them. I'll reflect patterns you might not see and gently challenge beliefs that no longer serve you.

My journey to mental healthcare

Like many first-gen daughters, I grew up translating between two worlds—navigating systems, expectations, and emotions largely on my own. Motherhood brought those struggles to the surface. I am an intergenerational trauma breaker in my personal life and in my work. I know the courage it takes to stop surviving and start healing.

My goals for you

From our first session, we'll clarify what's bringing you to therapy and what feeling better could look like for you. Together, we'll break your goals down into small, achievable steps so you can build confidence and notice your growth along the way. I regularly check in to make sure our work stays aligned with what matters most to you.

Our first session

Starting therapy can feel a bit like showing up to a new class without knowing where to sit—but I'll help you find your seat. Our first session is more of a conversation than a deep dive. I'll ask questions to get to know you—what's been weighing on you, what brought you here, and what you'd like to feel more of.
