More about Yolanda
- 5 years' experience

- LMFT
Welcome! My name is Yolanda Batres-Espinoza, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Theological Seminary with an emphasis in Medical Family Therapy. I developed my passion for psychotherapy at the age of eight when I first had a therapist of my own. From then on, I was determined to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and help others as I was helped during my youth.
I am an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist and a member of the community. My career began with working in community mental health agencies and providing mental health services to individuals and families from underserved communities within East Los Angeles. I have helped many families break through the stigma of therapy, and I have experience in treating diverse individuals and families living with trauma, depression, anxiety, and many other issues. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe therapy gives us the tools to take control of our lives, and I would love to work together with you to help provide the tools you need to take control of your life. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish, and I provide therapy to individuals and families from age 12 and up.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
