Yarely Tamayo AMFT

Hello, I’m Yarely Tamayo. I’m a bilingual therapist, fluent in both English and Spanish, born and raised in the Coachella Valley. My roots in this community have shaped my passion for creating meaningful therapeutic relationships that honor each client’s unique story and cultural background.

My goal is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported as they work toward personal growth and emotional balance. I take a client-centered approach, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strength-based strategies to guide the healing process. My goal is to empower clients to discover their own strengths and develop a deeper sense of self-understanding, so they can thrive both emotionally and relationally.

Outside of my work, I enjoy staying active, being out in nature, and spending time with friends and family. These practices help me stay grounded and connected to the things that matter most.
