About


Yelitza Perdomo, M.S.Ed., M.Phil.ED, LPC 

This Is Me

I’m a licensed professional counselor and the heart behind A Journey to Growth Counseling. I created this space to offer compassionate, down-to-earth support for teens and adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and the everyday (or not-so-everyday) ups and downs of being human.

My style is collaborative, supportive, and warm. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place to show up as you are, with all kinds of feelings, doubts, and everything in between. Together, we’ll work to better understand what’s going on beneath the surface, build tools that help you cope, and create more space for self-trust and growth.

I use practical tools that help you gain insight, shift patterns that aren’t serving you, and make meaningful changes in your daily life. I also look at how your environment, relationships, and life experiences shape what you’re going through, and I tailor every session to your needs, values, and goals. My approach is culturally sensitive, honoring each person’s unique background and story.

Outside the therapy chair, I love hiking, crocheting plushies, crafting with my Cricut, and caring for my plants. These creative outlets help me stay grounded and present.

If you’re curious about working together, reach out. I’d love to hear your story and see how I can support you.

MY VALUES

Authenticity

True healing happens when you feel safe to be yourself. I strive to create a space where you can show up just as you are, without fear of judgment or expectation.

Compassion

Navigating life’s challenges isn’t easy, and you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is rooted in warmth, empathy, and genuine care for your well-being.

Cultural Humility

Your story, identity, and experiences matter. I am committed to creating an inclusive space where you feel seen, heard, and respected.
