Meet Yurilka Hernandez | Psychotherapist, Adjunct Professor, Author, CEO

We had the good fortune of connecting with Yurilka Hernandez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yurilka, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I graduated from New York University with my master in 2015 and immediately register my business the same year with the IRS. back then, I was very young and only thing I knew was that I want to be my own boss. You see it all the time people starting business and being successful however I am from the Bronx, and you can be a product of your surroundings. The Hispanic small business owner I knew, own Bodegas, food stands and small bakeries. I did not know anyone who was Hispanic and own a Psychotherapy clinic as a small corporation, on big non-for profits organizations. It wasn’t the 2020 Pandemic happened that I started to see the need for Spanish speaking services across. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough people in the field to fill the gap in services and that’s when my practice blossom into a successful business it is today.
