About Yesenia D. Perez, LCSW, Trauma therapist

Helping first-gen Latina moms carry less, feel more, and reconnect with themselves (and their partners).

You’ve probably been the strong one your whole life—the one who figures it out, keeps it together, and makes sure everyone else is okay.

But lately, being “the one who handles it all” feels heavy. Between motherhood, marriage, and family expectations, you may notice you’re running on autopilot: overthinking, exhausted, resentful, or just checked out.

I help first-generation Latina moms like you slow down, reconnect with your emotions, and build relationships that feel mutual and supportive—without losing the parts of you that make you who you are.
Therapy that feels like cafecito with purpose

My approach is gentle but real—warm like a cup of café de olla and honest like the tías at Sunday brunch. Together, we make space for the truth that you can love your family and want more balance, support, and peace.

You don’t have to carry everyone’s emotions, fix everything, or keep pretending you’re fine. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment; it’s about understanding how you learned to survive that way and creating new ways to live and love with less guilt and more intention.
