Yolanda Tingler
Hello! My name is Yolonda, but I prefer to go by Rhonda. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida and graduated from Florida State University. I specialize in individual, family, and group therapy for Deaf/Hard of Hearing, people with disabilities, AND hearing individuals.
I specialize in individual, family, and group therapy for Deaf/Hard of Hearing, people with disabilities, AND hearing individuals.
I have provided group therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy in residential treatment programs, psychiatric hospitals, forensics, community mental-health agencies, school settings and private practice settings.
First session
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. This is a great time for you to ask questions and go over expectations in therapy.
Strengths
I am laid back and easy to talk to and try to make the environment more comfortable and less clinical. You will find that I offer a wide range of office hours to include late evenings and weekends to benefit those who are in need of those times and keep engaged with my clients through all efforts. I have worked most of my life with people with a variety of disabilities helping them to come to terms with new diagnosis and be able to adjust. I have been a Sign Language Interpreter for 25 years and decided to join the field of Social Work 9 years ago to be able to conduct therapy, advocate, and assist with policy changes for underserved populations. I have also worked in K-12 settings and college settings for 25 years and am knowledgeable regarding student issues and academic needs.
Ideal clients
Hearing, Hard of Hearing, Deaf, People with disabilities and College students. Fluent in American Sign Language (ASL)
