About me

Yahaira is the founder and owner of BrainWaves Rehabilitation. She is an English/Spanish bilingual Speech Language Pathologist specializing in adult rehabilitation. Yahaira holds a Bachelor Degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. Licensed in the state of Florida and California, Yahaira brings over nine years of expertise working across the continuum of care, from acute hospital settings to outpatient clinics. Her diverse experience includes skilled nursing facilities, a level 1 trauma center, stroke units, and intensive care units. Yahaira’s professional experience spans across a multitude of cases, including dementia, stroke, brain injury, head and neck cancers, pulmonary conditions and more. 

While her career has spanned these varied clinical environments, Yahaira’s true passion lies in bridging the gap between clinical care and real-life functionality. By providing in-home therapy, she focuses on maximizing independence where it matters most—right in the patient’s home. She believes recovery is most effective when therapy moves beyond the clinic and into the spaces that matter most- your home, your favorite restaurant, or even the grocery store. 

Additionally, Yahaira is a Certified Dementia Care Practitioner which highlights her ability to create meaningful, person-centered strategies for individuals with dementia. 

Yahaira is known for her innovative, out-of-the-box thinking and evidence-based approach to therapy. She provides in-home speech therapy in Miami, Florida, and teletherapy services to residents of Florida and California.
