INTRODUCTION
We all experience moments of aloneness, isolation and shame within our own experience. I seek to explore our capacity to support adaptive and healthier responses to the difficulties we experience internally and relationally. I focus on relational connection, emotional healing and nurturing inner resiliency to transform how we relate to our own selves and with others. With tender care and compassionate respect for all the best and worst parts of ourselves, I will support you through this personal journey.
I'm deeply honored that you've chosen to embark on this journey of self-discovery and healing with me. My name is Vonceil Yara, and I'm committed to providing a compassionate, empathetic, and culturally sensitive environment that respects and acknowledges your unique experiences and heritage.
In our time together, we'll collaboratively navigate the challenges that life throws at us, and find ways to foster growth and resilience within your familial structure. I strongly believe that our cultural backgrounds and family dynamics greatly shape who we are and how we perceive the world around us, and it is essential to bring these aspects into our discussions.
I'm fully aware of the cultural nuances, traditions, and values that can be unique to various diverse communities. By leveraging my understanding and training in culturally competent therapy, I aim to bridge any cultural gaps and make our sessions meaningful and relevant to you.
Therapy can be a winding road with ups and downs, and it requires courage and resilience. But remember, you are not alone. Together, we'll explore, learn, and build strategies to manage life's challenges. Please feel free to share your thoughts, feelings, and concerns - every piece of your story is important.
Confidentiality and your comfort are my utmost priorities. If something isn't quite right or if you have any questions, I encourage you to speak up. Your perspective is highly valuable.
Let's begin this journey towards healing and understanding, taking into account the richness of your heritage and the strength of your family ties.
What brings you here today?
"You hold in your hand an invitation: to remember the transforming power of forgiveness and loving-kindness. To remember that, no matter where you are and what you face, within your heart peace is possible." - Jack Kornfield
