Counseling Based in Houston, Texas

Hello! I’m Yamilet and am a LPC Associate based in Houston, Texas. I provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, weight inclusive care to individuals from all backgrounds and believe that all bodies deserve honor, respect, and care.

My passion is working with those who have a complicated relationship with food, their bodies, and exercise. I specialize in helping teens, adults, and athletes who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image issues, over-exercise, and chronic dieting. My work involves teaching clients to embrace and value their bodies while learning to navigate and cope with diet culture and societal expectations. I practice from a social justice lens and am Health at Every Size aligned to help clients reach body liberation. Apart from my specialty, I also work with individuals who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and trauma.

I believe exploring the past is key to understanding the present & change. I use an insight-based approach to therapy to identify origins of patterns exacerbating life’s problems, as well as evidence-based approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), strengths-based therapies, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapy to help clients gain perspective and insight while learning how to change their patterns so they can find relief.
