Meet Yurilka

Founder & Clinical Director

 

I truly care about your well-being and am committed to providing top-of-the-line counseling and psychotherapy services tailored to your unique needs. Since 2015, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals navigating complex and challenging life experiences. Your well-being is always my highest priority, and I take pride in going above and beyond to help you move through obstacles with clarity, grounding, and support.

Over the years, I recognized a deep desire to also create a space for professionals in the field, a place where emerging clinicians can receive mentorship, supervision, and guidance as they begin or strengthen their private practice journey. Supporting both clients and clinicians is now central to my mission.

Therapy, to me, is a deeply personal and engaged experience. It is not a passive hour.  It is alive, relational, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you are understood, challenged, supported, and seen. The old, rigid model of psychotherapy often falls short. I draw from both the traditional psychoanalytic frameworks and contemporary, integrative approaches to ensure our work together feels meaningful and directly applicable to your life.

​

If you are feeling stuck, sensing that something is missing, or knowing you are capable of reaching the next level but unsure where to begin, you are not alone. I bring a decade of clinical experience and extensive training from New York University, the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis, and multiple specialized institutes to offer a truly personalized therapeutic experience. Just as you wouldn’t buy a one-size-fits-all suit, you deserve a therapist who meets you exactly where you are and walks with you toward where you want to be.

​

I’ll support you as you meet your edges, challenge the patterns that no longer serve you, and step into a more fulfilling, self-aware, and empowered life.
