Greetings,
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my graduate degree from University of Hawaii-School of Social Work in 2006. My specialty is Mental Health. I have practiced for 10 years in in-patient settings and out-patient settings alike. For the past 6 years I have worked in Crisis Intervention with Adults and Youth in my community and am passionate about this work. I strongly believe in early intervention and can appreciate the strength of individuals who reach out for help in their most vulnerable moments.
My approach to treatment is strengths based, client centered and task-oriented. I am open to holistic methods of healing and traditional methods of healing.
My philosophy is to always start where a person is, to be culturally sensitive, to listen to what is being said and not being said and ultimately to create a nurturing and goal oriented environment to achieve balance and well-being.
I can help those who are faced with difficult decisions, life crises, taxed relationships, past trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, addiction, and vicarious trauma (or caregiver fatigue). All with acceptance and interest in you achieving your goals. You deserve it!
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Trauma and abuse, Grief, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Depression

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Tepairu Yarbrough. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I finally wrote and she replied just a few hours after and really listened and noticed the reason behind it. She’s amazing

Tepa is a very empathetic and skilled professional. Consultations with her were very helpful for me, she showed me some new perspectives and helped me a lot. I would only recommend her.

Tepa is very experienced, professional and skilled in what she does. We have worked on my confidence level, anxiety, depression and self-esteem when I'm going through unemployment. It's been very helpful to me so far. I will highly recommend her and this platform to people around me who are in need.

Tepairu by far has been the most helpful counselor I have ever had. She embodies neutrality and the ability to let someone grow on their own. She knows what she is saying and doing and I appreciate her very much!
