Yolanda Carter
My primary goal as a clinician is to provide a safe space where everyone feels welcome, safe, and comfortable facing the growth opportunities they are seeking support to work through.
I apply a holistic approach to treatment with the understanding that you are a unique being and deserve an individualized plan to suit your needs that will grow as you do.
Yes, you read that correctly, not problems or stressors, but growth opportunities, The goal is not to simply talk about your discomforts, but to help you see them differently, and develop strategies and skills that allow you to reclaim your power. You are the author and actor in the story of your life and my role is to help you claim or reclaim your power at your pace with an extra push here and there as needed. (smile, I got you).
First session
Your first session is an opportunity for you to share any experience or concerns about therapy, what you hope to accomplish through therapy and for us both to assess our fit as a therapeutic alliance.
Strengths
The strength I bring to my sessions is authenticity displayed as kindness, and a presence that allows me to meet you where you are. I am as comfortable challenging as I am supporting you as you navigate the decisions before you.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is one who honors appointments, arrive on time more often than not and reschedule when plans changed and he or she is not available for the scheduled session. Someone who is ready to grow, open to feedback and ask questions for clarity. An adult who refuses to be the victim of their own story and is willing to accept full responsibility for his or her life. Someone who is willing to follow through with suggestions while also comfortable acknowledging that a suggestions won't work for them and they would prefer a different suggestion. Someone who shows up for his/ herself one session at a time.
