Hi, I’m Dr. Yanet Vanegas, a licensed child and adolescent psychologist with specialized training in child and adolescent mental health from Harvard Medical School’s McLean Hospital. I specialize in helping young individuals overcome challenges such as OCD, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. Utilizing evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), ERP for OCD, and DBT, I tailor treatment plans to meet each person’s unique needs, aiming for meaningful and lasting change. In addition to my work with children and adolescents, I am a perinatal mental health specialist, offering compassionate support to women navigating the complex emotions associated with conception, pregnancy loss, and perinatal OCD. My approach is grounded in empathy and proven therapeutic techniques to foster healing and resilience. Parenting can be challenging, especially when addressing your child’s mental health concerns. I am here to collaborate with you, providing guidance and strategies to promote emotional well-being within your family. Together, we can work towards building a healthier and more fulfilling life for you and your loved ones.
