Yakira Núñez, LMHC — Therapist in Massachusetts

Hi there, I'm Yakira!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts with over 14 years of clinical experience. I have extensive experience supporting adults from diverse cultural backgrounds.

My focus

I work with women and LGBTQ+ adults who want to understand these patterns, feel more confident, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

My approach

You may be the person everyone relies on—the one who keeps going even when you feel overwhelmed inside. You may be struggling with anxiety, relationship patterns that leave you feeling drained, low self-worth, or a major life transition and I can help with this.

My communication style

I am client centered, supportive, collaborative, and comfortable with making sure you get the help that you need while working with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I’ve always been passionate about helping others—especially those in underserved communities where support can feel limited. Watching my clients grow, heal, and reach their goals is one of my greatest joys.

My goals for you

In our work together, we’ll set attainable, realistic goals and move at a pace that feels right for you. I’ll be with you every step of the way, offering guidance, encouragement, and a safe space to explore and build the life you want.

Our first session

Therapy with me is space where you can feel supportive while being challenged to look at patterns that make you feel stuck. We will work together to figure out how to make changes to better your quality of life.
