Hi! My name is Yolmar Rodriguez-Chacon and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). I believe that during challenging times, we need someone who is on our side, who understands our situation and can help during dark times. I will serve as a guide, and walk by your side throughout your individual process, while you develop trustworthy insight and learn to understand yourself.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When working with clients, I strive to cultivate a warm, supportive, direct and non-judgmental environment where people feel safe to openly share their thoughts and feelings. I strive to foster a sense of collaboration and trust through active listening, respect, empathetic understanding, and encouraging tone of voice. I can teach you skills & strategies to help change unhealthy thinking / behavioral patterns and to manage stress and emotions effectively. Learning how to regulate emotional reactivity, as well as breaking destructive cycles to reduce unwanted behaviors. Let’s work together to help you heal by helping you develop skills, and feel supported / heard throughout your time in therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am committed to helping individuals affected by: trauma, people pleasing, anxiety, perfectionism, and/or codependency to heal those invisible scars left behind by emotional, physical, and psychological abuse. I can help you find yourself again and let go of toxic shame, anxiety, and false narratives that trauma has brought into your life. Let’s work together to help you heal.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have worked with women and men who have experienced trauma, to include, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, emotional pain/trauma from medical diagnoses (stigma), PTSD, anxiety, grief/loss, identity issues, struggles with boundaries and depression. It is rewarding to see how survivors of abuse become whole again choosing to be who they want to be.
