Therapy holds the transformative power to ignite change and enhance the quality of your life. Through self-exploration, self-awareness, and self-compassion, therapy guides you on a journey of personal growth and fulfillment.
Embarking on this journey isn't easy. Therapy requires courage as it invites you to delve into the depths of your being, uncovering layers of who you are and who you aspire to become. It's a process of introspection and evolution, one that necessitates readiness to confront your truths and embrace change.
My practice primarily operates online, utilizing secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing software. For those in proximity, in-person sessions are also available. Please note that my services are fee-for-service only (CASH PAY ONLY); I am not affiliated with insurance panels at this time.
To take the first step towards your transformation, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-20 minute consultation. Reach out via the "Book an Appointment" button, call or text 909-307-4605, or send an email to brendamelgozamft@yolotlicounseling.com. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.T

The word "Platicas" in Spanish translates to "talks" in English. Prior to the pandemic, I organized and cultivated a space where my friends could share their stories, strengths, courage, successes/failures, fears, and experiences with mental health, all while learning to be vulnerable and open (aprendiendo a ser vulnerables). I embraced the idea that food brings people together in a meaningful way, so I structured the Platicas around brunch.
While Platicas were organized around specific topics, they also allowed for spontaneous conversation (conversación improvisada). Platicas are intended to foster connection and community, inspired by conversations with friends who expressed feelings of loneliness or a lack of community and connection. The goal was to address this need, particularly within the BIPOC and Latinx Young Professionals Community.
Moving forward, Platicas will be open to all individuals, not just my friends. Ideally, there will be multiple groups, including one for the general community and another for therapists, promoting the art of Platicas.
