About Yesenia Ballesteros

Hi, I’m a bilingual therapist who is passionate about helping children and families feel understood, supported, and confident as they navigate life’s challenges. With nearly 10 years of experience working with children, families, and communities, I bring a unique combination of clinical, behavioral, and advocacy experience into the therapy room.

I have extensive experience supporting children with autism and other behavioral, emotional, and developmental needs. My background in psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) helps me understand that every child experiences and interacts with the world differently. I work to recognize each child’s individual strengths while helping them build skills, express emotions, and feel more successful at home, at school, and in their relationships.

I also understand that when a child is struggling, the entire family can feel the impact. My goal is to partner with parents and caregivers, providing a compassionate and judgment-free space where families feel supported rather than blamed or overwhelmed. Together, we can better understand your child’s needs, strengthen communication, and develop practical strategies that work in everyday life.

My experience has also included crisis intervention, child welfare, and court advocacy, giving me a broader understanding of the complex situations children and families may face. My approach combines empathy, structure, patience, and genuine connection while always keeping the individual needs of each client and family at the center of our work.

Whether you’re looking for support for your child, navigating behavioral or emotional concerns, or simply wanting your family to feel more connected and confident, you don’t have to figure everything out alone. I’d be honored to support your family along the way.

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time outdoors with my husband, daughter, and our two very large dogs! You can often find me taking long walks, making candles, sewing, spending time with family, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen.
