LPC, 20 years of experience
Are you constantly overthinking? Feeling lost after a traumatic experience? Struggling with unresolved grief—or grieving the loss of a beloved pet and feeling like no one truly understands? These kinds of challenges can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to turn next. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and be fully heard. Whether you're navigating difficult emotions, healing from the past, or simply seeking clarity about your next steps, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing, growth, and self-discovery. My name is Ebony Yelder (she/her/hers), and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the field of counseling and psychiatric services. I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse settings—including behavioral health hospitals, outpatient clinics, emergency rooms, in-home therapy, and with the Department of Defense supporting service members and their families. I believe therapy is a shared journey where your voice and experiences guide the process. I’m dedicated to helping individuals tap into their inner strengths and resilience. Together, we’ll recognize what’s working, explore what’s not, and create a meaningful path toward the life you envision.
During our first session time is spend discussing why the client is presenting for therapy and what they would like to achieve. In addition, we will discuss background information that is valuable in providing a foundation for our work together. This is also an opportunity for the client to ask any questions that they may have.
While I primarily use Positive Psychology and Solution Focused Therapy approaches, I also subscribe to the belief that the therapeutic process should be individualized and not a one size fits all treatment modality. Every person is unique with whom at times can be faced with exceptional challenges causing significant emotional distress.
My experience across a variety of settings has positioned me to be able to support my client’s regardless of where they are on their self-care journey. I am dedicated to helping my clients get to the core of what is holding them back and work to help them rewrite their narrative while bringing to the surface the light that has been dimmed.
I am passionate about helping individuals cope with daily life challenges as well as more complex mental health concerns.

Ebony has made JUST as great of an impact on me even within our first two sessions as my first therapist who was hard to top! She leaves space for me to talk as she actively listens, she doesn’t force “fake optimism” on me and also isn’t harsh with her feedback or responses. Even when she does give me something to process she holds space in the conversation for me to do so. I’ve definitely learned so much from her in such a short amount of time!

I felt heard, felt comfortable and didn’t feel rushed to talk.
