Meet Your Therapist

​​

Hi, I’m Yanira Uresti — Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-Certified Therapist, and Founder of Tenacity Counseling Center.

 

With over 20 years of marriage, motherhood to four children, and personal experience as a cancer survivor, I bring more than clinical training into the therapy room—I bring real-life understanding.

 

I’ve walked through both the heartbreak and the healing. I know what it’s like to face the unexpected, feel overwhelmed, and rebuild from the inside out. That’s why I approach therapy with deep compassion, honesty, and care.

 

I’m here to listen, support, and walk alongside you as you rediscover your strength—one step at a time.

​

At Tenacity, we believe healing is possible—regardless of how deep the pain or how long you’ve carried it. We provide trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy for individuals, couples, and families navigating life transitions, loss, illness, and relationship challenges.

 

Our therapeutic approach blends evidence-based tools with personalized care:

  • EMDR Therapy

  • Polyvagal & Nervous System-Informed Work

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Adlerian & Gestalt Approaches

Every session is tailored to your story. Whether you’re seeking clarity, connection, or peace, you’ll find support in a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to begin.
