Yamilet Molina, MS, LPC
You’re used to pushing yourself, striving for excellence, and meeting high expectations—but lately, it feels like the pressure is wearing you down.
Whether it’s self-doubt, anxiety, disordered eating, or the exhaustion of constantly trying to measure up, it can feel impossible to find balance. Even your achievements may feel hollow, and perfectionism keeps you stuck in the same cycles.
I help athletes and high achievers break free from these patterns, rebuild confidence, and create a healthier, more sustainable path to success—one where you can thrive, not just perform.
From D1 Athlete to a Therapist for Mental Health
As a former Division I athlete and current endurance athlete, I understand the unique pressures and struggles associated with an athletic career at many levels. My passion for working with athletes and active populations stems from the hardships, difficulties and mental health challenges I faced while being a competitive dancer.
I am also a proud first-generation Latina therapist from Houston, and I take pride in my work to create a space where all feel welcome. I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and identities who are committed to their healing journey and therapy process.
My client focus includes:
Many of my clients have already tried to overcome their struggles in the past, but despite their best efforts, they still find themselves struggling with distressing symptoms and cycles they can't seem to escape. Some of the patterns may include unresolved issues with food and body, mood fluctuations, trauma, and relationship challenges. That's why I provide a personalized, tailored approach that's entirely focused on my clients' healing.
I believe exploring the past is key to understanding the present and making meaningful changes. By working together, we can identify the root causes of your emotional pain, challenge your inner critics, and develop practical tools to enhance your mental resilience. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on building self-worth, improving coping strategies, and fostering a sense of balance and well-being.
