There is nothing wrong with you! This is the first and possibly the most surprising thing you will learn from me. You will also learn that it is true, and that will be the most freeing thing you will ever learn from anyone. In our very first session, expect to be HEARD and SEEN. Clients often come in with diagnoses already tacked onto them. Depression, anxiety, and/or severe adjustment disorders are often part of the stories they tell me about themselves. I have tremendous compassion for you. I am not interested in the negative labels or self-defeating stories that you have been carrying around like heavy burdens. I am interested in going right through them and discovering who YOU are.

What that means is: I will not work harder than you do. However, I will be right there beside you as we navigate your Mental Health journey together. 4. If you don't connect with me, that's okay.

Hi, thank you for considering me as part of your support team. My name is Yolanda and I want to share with you a little about how you and I would work together. You may be experiencing a ton of different emotions, or maybe there is one specific feeling you can't seem to shake. For example, are tehre times where you find yourself overthinking situations or experiencing thoughts going so fast it's hard to keep up with them? What about experiencing extreme sadness with a lack of motivation to do anything, even get out of bed? Has there been a time when you felt like crying, but you couldn't figure out why? These feelings are overwhelming and are just a few things we can address during your sessions. I offer support and provide tips and tricks to get through the day while working together to figure out why this is happening.
