More about Yolanda

Greetings,
I am Yolanda, a North Carolina native (Go Tar Heels)! I relocated to Atlanta, GA to attend graduate school in 2011 and completley fell in love with the diversity of Atlanta. I am a lover of food, all things fitness, soulful R&B music, concerts, sports (specifically basketball-GO LAKERS), attending sporting events, spending time with family/friends, and finding new ways to make every day a little bit better than yesterday.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 5 years of experience assisting individuals struggling with a wide range of concerns such as work-life balance, adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, and relationships issues. My treatment approach is typically cognitive behavioral therapy as the foundation and I also like to utilize client-centered therapy. I think it is imperative to empower individuals to reach their highest potential while assisting them to change those distorted thoughts. I truly value building rapport with my clients and learning all areas of their life. I provide a very safe to share, warm, trusting, and non judgmental environment. I understand that life can really deal us a tough hand of cards at times, but the beautiful thing about that hand is that YOU are in control of how it is played and I am here to assist and cheer you on along the way.
I look forward to connecting with you and assisting you on this journey to a better version of you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

A great therapist who understands cultural differences, and respects them
Yolanda is the best therapist I’ve had. She listens, offers advice without making me feel like I have to follow/take it, offers insight into myself that I was unaware of, and has immensely helped me with my anxiety and self-worth. It’s so easy to open up to her and speak freely; I never feel judged or pressured to follow her advice. She makes suggestions and I make decisions; I appreciate that she also helps me build up my self-confidence. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their therapist.
I thank my lucky stars that I was matched with Yolanda. I have worked with her for about 5 months and I feel like a different person. Yolanda has a wonderful way of helping me to reframe my thoughts and build my confidence. I was feeling really low and fragile when we first met. Now, with Yolanda’s excellent help, advice and support I feel I understand myself a lot better and I feel more resilient and healthy than I ever have in my life. THANK YOU Yolanda, I appreciate you so much!
Yolanda was the perfect match for me! Even as a woman of color, I didn't realize just how impactful representation was until I sat down (virtually) with Yolanda for the first time and felt like, "wow I can be COMPLETELY myself and she GETS IT and is also here to help and support my growth." I've already recommended her to my friends! It's so important to find a therapist that you feel comfortable being your authentic self with.
I am super happy and thankful to have Yolanda as my counselor. I feel like she is a great match for me. She's been very receptive, responsive and overall wonderful to talk to.
I’ve been working with Yolanda for about 2 weeks now, and I’ve already felt a positive shift in my mindset and how that’s been helping my mental health. Yolanda is down-to-earth, listens to me, validates my feelings/what I’m going through, is insightful, and has already helped me identify certain things I can do to feel in control of myself and my anxiety again. She has helped me gain perspective, helping me to realize how certain challenges have pushed me to set healthy boundaries. I am grateful for our sessions and am looking forward to my continued growth with her help.
