I Believe in You and my goal is to assist you in Believing in Yourself! Believing that you can overcome any barrier or obstacle that faces you. Believing you are a unique person with unused skills.

My counseling style is down to earth and non-judgmental. I believe in treating everyone with respect, understanding and compassion. My theoretical approach is eclectic using Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused and Reality Therapy.

Ms Yolanda provides me the time and opportunity to look deeper into situations that have allowed me to better understand me. I feel a calmness and clarity in my situation since our communications. My response is so different. I am super glad to have her as my counselor. She listens and provides perspective. Yes I would absolutely recommend her to others---She is for REAL!

Yolanda is very patient with me, she checks in when she hasnt heard from me for a while. She helps me set goals, she helps me think outside the box, and she helps me to see things from a different perspective in order to get my own life in order. I truly enjoy talking to her!
