Hello, Do you want to work with a therapist who will help you rediscover your purpose, passion, and goals in life? Maybe you had set backs and unforeseen events that caused you to lose focus, and now you're ready to reclaim your vision and dreams. My name is Yvette, a LCSW and CEO of Empowered Visionaries. As a seasoned clinician, I empower my clients by utilizing a variety of therapeutic interventions . Many of these interventions focus on Strength Based and Solution Focused therapy. My goal is to help you reclaim your personal power by talking, goal planning, homework, and problem solving. I myself have dealt with major setbacks in life so I understand how difficult it could be to move forward. I pride myself on being an ethical clinician that treats everyone fairly. I am willing to work with anyone, however, I am strongly passionate about supporting the "BIPOC" community, Black, Indigenous, & People of Color. I am very passionate about helping and giving back to these communities, and offer an affordable fee for service rate, accept a variety of insurance plans, and a sliding scale to those who qualify. If you're ready to give therapy a try and work through your personal barriers, it will be my pleasure to get your started on your journey. I Look forward to working with you, Yvette Bailey, MSW, LCSW
Our first session will be a review of the initial intake form your competed in therapy. This will not be a boring Q&A session, however, it will be a time for me to get to know you better. I want you to feel comfortable and to ask me questions too. This is how we start our therapeutic rapport, and establish what you want to work on in therapy. I'm big on educating my clients about anything related to their mental health needs. We will complete your treatment plan together, review your diagnosis, and anything else that is needed for you to better understand your therapeutic journey.
My biggest strengths as a Clinician is seeing my client's transformations. In many cultures and main stream society there are still stereotypes and stigmas associated with mental health. People aren't sure what to expect in therapy, and often feel distrusting of the process. I allow an open transparent platform to discuss these stigmas by being an empathetic and caring listener. I want to normalize therapy as self-care. I am big on empowering people especially when they feel defeated. Life's unexpected ups and downs can make us feel fearful and hopeless. My primary goal as your therapist is to provide you with the needed tools and support to help you overcome these challenges. When you win, "We Win"!!!
I am a therapist that believes we all have our personal strengths. I want to empower you to develop new strengths as well as build on your existing strengths to help you achieve your goals.
As a Women of Color, I am aware of many barriers that impact people of color systematically, economically, and socially. My goal is to create a safe place where you can discuss some of these factors that impacted our communities for decades. I will not judge your cultural, gender, or religious beliefs. My practice is a safe place for all.
I utilize CBT to help challenge and assist with changing your current thought process to help you get the results you need to change your thinking.
