Thank you for taking the time out to view my profile. Finding the right therapist to meet your individual needs is a very important step and I am hopeful that I will be able to assist you. I find great passion in assisting my clients in meeting and surpassing their full potential. After I obtained my Bachelors degree in Psychology, I continued my education and received a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am licensed in multiple states, a National Certified Counselor, a Certified Clinical Supervisor, and a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider. I have experience with working with individuals of all ages, ethnicities, races, religions, sexual orientations, and genders. Although I use multiple counseling techniques (Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered, Solution Focused, etc) in order to meet my client's individual needs, my work with clients is primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy perspective. I believe that the connections between rationality and emotion as well as mind and body are essential in accomplishing behavioral change through logical thinking. Becoming more aware of damaging automatic thoughts and acquiring the ability to revise cognitions impacts one’s behaviors and ultimately may lead to positive change. In addition, I hold a great appreciation for the unconscious and the power it has over one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The intimate process of making the unconscious conscious is a fundamental step toward growth, development, and change. Being able to recognize how unresolved conflicts from the past influence the present and manifests in unhealthy cyclical patterns gives one the power and confidence to take control.​​ It is my belief that therapy is an intense, engaging, rewarding, and collaborative process. One of the main purposes of therapy is for one to gain a deeper understanding of self by exploring personal experiences, perspectives, and expectations. Regardless of the presenting issue, I provide my clients with a high level of respect, honesty, and genuineness. After successful completion of therapy, it is my hope that my clients will be able to incorporate what will be presented throughout therapy sessions into multiple life circumstances.

It’s so important for me to help others find comfort and confidence in their own identity and personal space. I believe in embracing individuality while recognizing that it’s okay to retreat and recharge when needed. For me, it’s about reminding people to accept and nurture the unique qualities that make them who they are, fostering a sense of inner peace and strength. I’m David Yeager, LCSW-C, and the founder of Tortally Therapeutics, LLC: Psychotherapy & Counseling Services. My approach to mental health care is inspired by the qualities tortoises embody—patience, resilience, adaptability, and the importance of a strong foundation. These qualities are deeply relevant to the healing process and serve as guiding principles in my practice. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and my Master’s in Social Work from Morgan State University. As a licensed clinical social worker and board-approved supervisor, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate life’s challenges for over a decade. I specialize in supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, including relationship challenges, trauma, domestic violence, child welfare, life skills development, anxiety, depression, anger management, and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing begins when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with you?” and instead explore, “What happened to you?” I’ve seen firsthand how past experiences shape who we are and how we respond to the world around us. By addressing these experiences with compassion and curiosity, I help my clients find healing, resilience, and empowerment. As a therapist, I’m interactive and solution-focused. I draw from techniques in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy to tailor treatment to each individual. My goal is to help clients identify what’s important to them, develop effective coping strategies, and gain deeper insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change and improving their overall well-being. For scheduling, please contact me directly.
