First of all, I want to personally welcome you to my solo private practice. I am so glad you are here.

​

My name is Yaritza. I am the owner and licensed therapist of Forward Momentum Therapy Services, PLLC. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas- #80888 and Florida- #TPMC5727, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor Intern (LCDC-I) and a national board-certified counselor (NBCC) #743519. I have been working in the mental health field since 2009 in many different capacities. Although, most of my experience is from working at community mental health agencies, I have also worked for a major insurance company.

 

When I was thinking of names for my private practice, I wanted a name that would reflect my style of counseling.... a steady process. The goal for my practice is to have a limited number of clients who I can focus on, to provide the very best mental health care with the highest degree of privacy. When contacting my practice, I will personally answer your calls, text messages and emails. You will never have to deal with receptionists or answering services. 

 

For me, therapy is not just a process; it's a bridge to resilience, an uncovering of inner strength, and a rediscovery of self. Life's trials may be daunting, but they become manageable steppingstones with the right support. In our journey together, collaboration is key. I am not merely your therapist—I am your partner, your confidante, your advocate. Your emotions, experiences, and aspirations find a safe haven within these walls, where they are not just heard and respected, but genuinely seen.

 

My therapeutic approach is like a compass pointed towards solutions, anchored in your unique identity. With compassion as our guide, I offer a haven of trust and acceptance—a sanctuary for you to confront your fears, mend your wounds, and blossom into the most authentic version of yourself. Our focus is firmly fixed on your strengths, as I believe that the seeds of your success are already within you. Together, we nurture and cultivate these strengths, nurturing them into tools that will propel you towards your personal goals.

 

In my practice, you are the captain of your voyage, and I am here to steer alongside you. Tailoring each step to your individual needs, I have stood with individuals of all ages, couples, families, and dedicated professionals, spanning diverse cultures and backgrounds. As someone acquainted with the intricacies of military family life, I understand firsthand the unique challenges you may face.
