Latina Therapist in New Jersey Specializing in Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Maternal Mental Health

Hi, I’m Yaranil, a bilingual Latina therapist based in New Jersey, and the founder of Calma Counseling. I specialize in supporting women and parents through the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood.

My own experience as a mom has shaped the way I show up in this work. I know that motherhood can be beautiful AND incredibly hard, and both can be true at the same time. Whether you're adjusting to life after birth or simply trying to find yourself again, I offer a space that’s warm, affirming, and rooted in compassion.

My Approach

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Every person’s story, background, and emotional landscape is different—and your care should reflect that. I draw from a blend of therapeutic modalities and tailor each session to meet you where you are. I offer a space that’s compassionate, culturally attuned, and responsive to your unique needs.

Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, reconnect with your strengths, and create space for healing and growth—at your pace, and in your voice.

Why I Do This Work

There’s something incredibly powerful about watching a woman move from feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or disconnected to feeling grounded, confident, and whole. Every story is different, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they reclaim their peace and power.

Outside the Therapy Room

When I’m not working, I’m soaking up time with my family, listening to audiobooks (my favorite way to sneak in reading), experimenting in the kitchen (even if the results are hit-or-miss), and savoring quiet moments, like solo car rides or early mornings before the world wakes up. I believe in being intentional with rest and joy, and I encourage my clients to do the same.

Ready to take the next step?

I offer virtual and in-person therapy sessions across New Jersey. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, the postpartum period, or motherhood, you deserve support that honors your experience and helps you thrive.
