Pamela Yafte Cardenas Rico

Hello, my name is Pamela Yafte Cardenas Rico, and I am a board-registered Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW #126959). I provide services under the clinical supervision of Nahomie Guillaume, LMFT (#48571).

I am committed to helping children, families, and individuals find healing and hope. My approach is grounded in compassion, cultural humility, and a belief that every person holds unique strengths that can guide their path forward.

I specialize in supporting clients who are experiencing stress, family challenges, or life transitions. My focus is on creating a safe and welcoming space where people can share openly, feel understood, and begin building the tools they need for growth.

Throughout my professional journey, I have gained experience in direct services, group facilitation, and collaboration with professionals across mental health, healthcare, education, and legal systems.

As a bilingual professional fluent in Spanish and English, I am passionate about serving diverse communities and providing care that honors cultural identity and life experiences.

Outside of my work, I enjoy reading, exploring new places, and spending time with loved ones. My family’s roots in Mexico City continue to shape my sense of identity and connection.

Above all, I see therapy as a journey of connection and discovery. My goal is to walk alongside clients with care and support, helping them recognize their own resilience and move toward healing in ways that feel authentic and empowering.
