Yanay Puente

Hello, I am a beautifully imperfect professional woman in her 40s who learned to practice compassion and self-acceptance while striving to climb my mountains with discipline and joy. If that sounds like a lot, it's because it is! One of my life's purposes is to connect with people. I like helping people strive for a rich and meaningful life while effectively handling the challenges that inevitably go with it. I have a bachelor's in psychology and earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling at Hodges University in Florida in 2019.

I use a person-centered, solution-focused approach. Instead of giving you advice, I will help you find your own solutions to your problems. I believe in your capacity to grow. I aim to empower you. I use acceptance and commitment therapy to help you overcome your challenges and implement the “right” mindset and set of habits to achieve your goals. I also love reading, gardening, practicing yoga, traveling, and eating good food.

I spend a lot of time with my family or chilling with my dogs. I enjoy nature and am on a mission to visit all of the US national parks with my family and dogs. If you are someone who needs help, guidance, and a little push and is ready to change, I'll meet you at GHCS!
