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.
