A warmly lit psychotherapy office without people, featuring a plush teal armchair facing a low, natural wood coffee table with a small stack of bilingual (English/Spanish) therapy books and a ceramic mug of herbal tea. Behind, a soft beige sofa and a tall leafy plant create depth against a pale, calming wall with minimalist framed abstract art. Late afternoon natural light filters through sheer white curtains, casting gentle, diffused shadows and a golden glow. Photographic realism, shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field that keeps the chair and table in crisp focus while the background softly blurs, creating a calm, professional, and inviting atmosphere ideal for reflection and emotional safety.

A deeper understanding of yourself can change the way you move through life.

Therapy offers a space to pause, gain perspective, and reconnect with what matters most. Together, we can navigate life’s transitions, strengthen relationships, and create greater emotional well-being—with your story, culture, and experiences at the center.

About

About Yvonne

If you’ve found your way here, something brought you — perhaps a desire to feel more grounded, a relationship you’d like to nurture, a new chapter you’re learning to navigate, or a part of yourself you’re ready to understand more deeply.

Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it out alone. And you don’t have to explain yourself twice to be understood. Here, your languages, your experiences, and all the parts of your story are welcome.

I’m Yvonne Perez-Sallaberry, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #150627) and bilingual psychotherapist practicing in English and Spanish. I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute and bring over five years of clinical experience to my work with individuals and couples.

I practice from a warm, collaborative, and grounded place — meeting you where you are, moving at a pace that feels right for you, and working alongside you with genuine curiosity about your story, your strengths, and what meaningful change looks like for you.

My approach is evidence-based and deeply personal. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based practices — weaving together clinical tools with genuine human connection. I believe that lasting change happens not just through insight, but through feeling truly seen and supported in the process.

I also understand that culture shapes how we experience the world — our relationships, our bodies, our sense of self. As a bilingual therapist, I bring cultural attunement into every session, so you don’t have to translate who you are to be understood.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating:

  • Life transitions — navigating career changes, identity shifts, grief, divorce, and the turning points that shape who we’re becoming.
  • ADHD — including executive function challenges, emotional regulation, and late diagnosis
  • Anxiety and stress — navigating everyday pressures, life changes, and the unique experiences of moving between cultures, languages, and expectations.
  • Couples and relationship challenges — communication breakdowns, conflict, intimacy, and reconnection
  • Women’s health and perinatal mental health — compassionate support through pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy loss, reproductive life transitions, and the unique pressures that can accompany being a professional or high-achieving woman.
  • Trauma and PTSD — compassionate support for healing from childhood and relational trauma, processing difficult life experiences, and building a greater sense of safety, connection, and resilience.

I offer both in-person sessions (San Francisco) and virtual therapy throughout California.

“I came to this work with a deep belief in the transformative power of therapy when it is practiced with care, intention, and genuine connection. I’m especially passionate about supporting women and bilingual communities and creating a space where you can show up fully — in your own language, with your whole self, and without leaving any part of your story at the door.”

A cushioned window seat in soft gray fabric is layered with textured throw pillows in muted blues and terracotta tones. On the windowsill, a few carefully chosen books on anxiety, trauma, and CBT lean against a small candle in a frosted glass holder. Outside the window, blurred greenery suggests a quiet, safe neighborhood. Overcast daylight filters in, creating a gentle, even glow with almost no harsh shadows. Photographic realism, captured at an angle that emphasizes depth and comfort, with a calm, healing, and introspective mood.
