A Little About Me

Hi, I’m Yazmin Bonet! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the therapist behind True Resilience. I’m glad you’re here!

Let’s be real… life can be messy, unpredictable, and sometimes downright overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure everything out on your own.

I’m not your typical textbook therapist, and that’s intentional.

My approach is laid-back, genuine, and conversational. I believe therapy should feel like a real conversation, not an interview where you’re trying to figure out the “right” things to say. You don’t have to filter yourself or have everything figured out. You can simply show up as you are.

While I’m here to listen and support you, I’m also not afraid to offer honest feedback, ask the tough questions, or gently challenge patterns that might be keeping you stuck. Some sessions may involve laughter, others may bring up difficult emotions, and some may push you outside your comfort zone. I believe there’s room for all of it in therapy.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel understood while giving you the tools, perspective, and confidence to create meaningful change.

My Background & Experience

My approach to therapy has been shaped by both my education and the experiences I’ve had working with people from different backgrounds and walks of life.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2023. My professional background includes working with diverse populations within the criminal justice system, supporting individuals navigating mental health concerns, substance use, emotional distress, and challenging life circumstances.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned that everyone has a story, and understanding the person behind the challenges is just as important as addressing the symptoms themselves.

Today, I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.

I incorporate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness. Rather than following a rigid formula, I tailor therapy to your individual needs, personality, and goals. My focus is on helping you better understand yourself, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop practical strategies that make a difference in your everyday life.

Why True Resilience?

The way I approach therapy is also reflected in the name of my practice.

I chose True Resilience because I believe resilience isn’t about being strong all the time, pretending everything is okay, or having life completely figured out.

It’s about learning to navigate difficult moments, recognizing when something needs to change, and giving yourself grace throughout the process. It’s understanding that setbacks are part of being human and that growth doesn’t always happen in a straight line.

To me, therapy isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level, building on your strengths, and creating a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Beyond the Therapy Room

I’m a homebody at heart with a love for adventure and new experiences. I enjoy spending quality time with my husband, family, friends, and of course, my dog. My husband and I love traveling, exploring different cultures, trying new foods, and creating memories along the way. When I’m home, you’ll usually find me catching up on a good reality TV show, getting lost in a book, or making time for fitness. I appreciate the simple things in life just as much as the excitement of trying something new.

That balance of curiosity, humor, and appreciation for life’s everyday moments naturally carries into my work as a therapist. I enjoy getting to know people beyond the challenges that bring them to therapy. While I take our work seriously, I don’t believe every conversation has to feel so serious. There’s room for laughter, honesty, and being human, even when we’re working through difficult things.

Let’s Connect

If you’ve made it this far, hopefully you’ve gotten a better sense of who I am and what working together might look like.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time or you’ve had a less-than-great experience in the past. You don’t need to arrive with a plan, know exactly what to say, or even know where to begin. We’ll figure that out together.

I offer in-person therapy in Wellington, Florida, and virtual sessions throughout the state.

Whether you’re working through something difficult, ready for a change, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’d love the opportunity to connect.

Come as you are. We’ll take it from there.
