I am a clinical social worker licensed in the District of Columbia and Maryland. I have provided services in the mental health and child welfare setting for more than 10 years. My clinical approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I use my skill set to assist clients to discover their strengths and improve on coping skills they have utilized and learn new approaches. I work with deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clients. With hearing clients, we will use live chat or video with live captions. The clients will determine the options that are comfortable for them.

I have worked with clients on anxiety. adjustment issues, trauma, and stress-related concerns, coping with life changes using the strength-based, solution-focused approach as well as motivational interviews.

I have worked in the helping profession for over 25 years because of my love for assisting populations to overcome issues, that hinders their ability to function to the best of their ability,using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Approach. Initially, I started with a background in Social Services to Families with Children, with a focus on stabilizing the family unit, by providing case management services and counseling to oppressed populations. My experience evolved into my role as a Mental Health Specialist, providing counseling and Resources to Social Service recipients, who were experiencing problems becoming gainfully employed due to mental health issues , such as Depression and Anxiety issues. A focus on removing the barriers prohibiting them to obtain employment was identified, and counseling / case management, and family issues were addressed. Substance Addiction/Abuse, and School Counselor is also a part of my expertise, and experience. I look forward to assisting my clients identify, address, and work through issues that prohibit them to move forward, and to live the best life possible.

I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) based in Maryland with thirteen years of experience working with people of different backgrounds facing a variety of challenges. I earned my undergraduate degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Asmara in Eritrea, East Africa.

My work experiences include trauma work for refugees at several refugee resettlement agencies; as well as providing several years of psychotherapy (both individual and group therapy) for students at Salisbury University's Counseling Center. I also have additional experience working with young and older populations at a private agency on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

My therapy style is warm, open and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, rational-emotive therapy and mindfulness meditation. I believe I can help you meet your needs through open dialogue and honesty.

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.

As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and work/ life challenges with compassionate, personalized care. I bring deep expertise in supporting individuals through transformative personal journeys, focusing on areas like self-love, communication, healing from trauma, and rediscovering life purpose. Drawing on cognitive behavioral approaches, I help clients identify and reshape the thought patterns and beliefs that quietly shape their emotional lives — creating space for new perspectives, healthier responses, and lasting change. My work also extends to teens and college students, guiding young people through issues related to identity, stress, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships during critical developmental stages. Grounded in trauma-informed and systems-based approaches, my practice emphasizes the interconnected nature of personal, familial, and social experiences. I integrate somatic work to help clients reconnect with the wisdom of the body — recognizing that healing lives not only in the mind but in the nervous system, breath, and physical presence. Together, these approaches allow clients to gain insight into patterns that shape their lives while building resilience, self-understanding, and sustainable positive change. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-oriented, and rooted in empowerment. I create a supportive environment where clients of all ages can safely explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, tune into their bodies, and develop tools for lasting growth. Through evidence-based practices — including CBT and somatic modalities — I help individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling grounded, confident, and connected — to themselves and others. I'm deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate difficult emotions, rebuild relationships, and create lives marked by authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment. Together, we transform challenge into opportunity, fostering healing and growth at every stage of life.

I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My clients appear stable and successful, but quickly express they’re struggling - overwhelmed with frustration - even sadness. They tell me life seems persistently harder than a while ago, stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns with difficult problems. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital communication (even divorce) or parental challenges – a ‘Polycrisis’. Clients want to be heard and validated; I’ll listen. We’ll work together in a positive direction to restore order, enjoyment in life and self-confidence with a strong sense of satisfaction. My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for specific definable problems, as well as your generalized angst. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll also break old patterns you've operated on (perhaps for years) because of past trauma or other experiences; we'll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding. I engage carefully to what is happening and we will cooperate on a response. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I will help you create the fulfilment you envision.
