My name is Yajaira Barraza. I am pursuing a Master’s degree inClinical Mental Health Counseling at the University of Colorado Denver. I am interested in working with children and adolescents ages 10–18. I also have experience working with young adults as a practicum student. I chose counseling because I believe everyone has a story. My role is to walk alongside clients, bear witness to their experiences, and provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for growth and healing. My hope is that when I sit with a client, they feel seen and understood through genuine curiosity and empathy. I want clients to know that I do not aspire to perfection or to always be correct. Rather, I aspire to show up as an authentic person with every client. In my personal life, I enjoy reading and traveling, especially to Mexico. I love traveling to Mexico and enjoying fresh mangos, avocados, passion fruit, and dragon fruit. One of my personal travel goals is to visit all of the Pueblos Mágicos in Mexico.

Me llamo Yajaira Barraza. Actualmente curso una maestría en Consejería de Salud Mental Clínica en la Universidad de Colorado en Denver. Me interesa trabajar con niños y adolescentes de entre 10 y 18 años; también cuento con experiencia trabajando con adultos jóvenes como parte de mis prácticas profesionales. Elegí la consejería porque creo que cada persona tiene una historia. Mi papel consiste en acompañar a los clientes, ser testigo de sus experiencias y brindar un espacio de apoyo y libre de juicios que propicie el crecimiento y la sanación. Espero que, al estar conmigo, los clientes se sientan vistos y comprendidos gracias a una curiosidad genuina y a la empatía. Quiero que sepan que no aspiro a la perfección ni a tener siempre la razón; más bien, aspiro a mostrarme como una persona auténtica ante cada cliente. En mi vida personal, disfruto de la lectura y de viajar, especialmente a México. Me encanta visitar México y disfrutar de mangos, aguacates, maracuyá y pitahaya frescos. Una de mis metas personales de viaje es conocer todos los Pueblos Mágicos de México.
