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.
