“I can be changed by what happens to me, but I refuse to be reduced by it.”
Maya Angelou

I am Yolanda Estela Centeno-Rafael, or Yoli for short.
Thank you for being here and congratulations on taking the next courageous step towards your healing journey.
I am a trilingual (English, Spanish, American Sign Language) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am a proud California native and being the child to immigrant parents my heart in the United States, Mexico, and El Salvador.
I carry my own colorful story filled with life lessons and paired with academic education, I use both to create a space to dismantle trans-generational trauma, to heal oneself, and to heal our past/future ancestors.
Your story matters. My aim is to cultivate a safe space for growth through compassion and authenticity. Through our work together I hope to achieve a self-connection with your inner healer and to form a positive structure for your healing journey.


My purpose in meeting with you is to create a safe, honest and authentic space for us to process and unpack what you’re carrying so that you can conquer your fears and go on to thrive in your life. My primary goal is to understand your core values and personality, and make efforts to support you in aligning your actions with who you are.
