Meet Yurilka

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Founder

I truly care about your well-being and guarantee top of the line counseling and psychotherapy services catered to your needs. Since 2015, I have provided several specialized therapeutic services to those dealing with challenging life experiences. Patient well-being is my number one priority, and I go above and beyond to help them through all their obstacles.

 

I wanted to create a space where I can offer space to professionals in the field to begin their private practice journey.

​

Therapy is such a personal journey. As a therapist I believe that therapy should be  alive and engaged in each session experience. I pride myself in offering a space where therapy is just a tool for us to connect and for me to be able to relate to you. The old school model doesn’t work for you, I have experience with the old model and the new model of psychoanalytic approach. You're feeling stuck, there's something missing but you are not sure what. You want to excel. You know you can get to the next level, but you can't see where to start or how to continue going. I take my decade’s worth of client work and professional training from New York University & specializing in psychodynamic and behavioral therapy, as well as, my years of psychoanalytic training at The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalytic Training, to ensure that you get the best individualized experience. You wouldn't buy a one-size-fits-all suit, so choose a therapist that will meet you on your level and take you to the next one. I’ll be with you when you meet your edges because I want you to grow and live your most fulfilling life.
