Yamileth Obando, LCSW, ICDVP, TFCBT

Hello! My name is Yamileth, but I mostly go by Yami. My goal as a therapist is to help people become the best versions of themselves. I have a special interest in working with first-generation individuals and those who play a parental role in their families. These individuals usually present with symptoms of depression and anxiety, low self-esteem, co-dependency, high levels of stress, and difficulty with relationships. If this sounds like your situation, there is also a chance that you have trouble identifying your values, difficulty making decisions, and tend to place others before yourself. I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and señoras/es. Presenting issues I am comfortable working with include those who have experienced any type of abuse, depression, anxiety, ADD, panic, life transitions, and trauma, among others. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a Certified Domestic Violence Professional, and certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am a first-generation college graduate, the eldest child, and the only female sibling. I am originally from Los Angeles, CA, but moved to the suburbs of Chicago, IL in 2013 for school. I am a wife and mom to two little ones.  If any of this spoke to you, reach out for a free consultation. www.tamayacounselingcenter.com Yamileth Obando, LCSW, ICDVP, TFCBT
