Hello! My name is Yolonda, but I prefer to go by Rhonda, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I specialize in individual, family, and group therapy for Deaf/Hard of Hearing, people with disabilities, and hearing individuals. I use several approaches depending on the client such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Behavioral Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy etc. I have been a Sign Language Interpreter for 25 years and decided to join the field of Social Work 9 years ago to be able to conduct therapy, advocate, and assist with policy changes for underserved populations. I have also worked in K-12 settings and college settings for 25 years and am knowledgeable regarding student issues and academic needs. I have provided group therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy in residential treatment programs, psychiatric hospitals, forensics, community mental-health agencies, school settings and private practice settings. I further specialize with ADHD/ADD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Personality Disorders, OCD, Phobias, Military, etc. with a variety of techniques. My primary goal is to help you identify and cope more effectively with problems in your daily life, as well as help you to deal better with internal conflicts - such as anxiety, fear, trauma, and depression - so that you can achieve a happier and more peaceful life. I work to develop a strong bond with each client as I believe the therapeutic relationship is the primary tool for growth and change. You will find that I offer a wide range of office hours to include late evenings and weekends to benefit those who are in need of those times and keep engaged with my clients through all efforts.

Ms. Rhonda takes your concerns seriously & responds as humanly quick as possible if you have and questions and/or concerns between sessions. She genuinely does take time and care to help you improve at your own pace, & will advocate for you as a patient in the best way she can. She is honest with you & tries to find worksheets to use as examples to help process what you are going through. If you prefer or only use ASL, she thankfully does know it & is a certified ASL interpreter. Overall, I would highly recommend her to everyone, she is awesome!!!

Working with Rhonda (Yolanda) was very insightful and helpful. In between sessions, she made sure I had connection with her and sent worksheets for me to work on to process different skills and concepts. I would highly recommend Rhonda to anyone seeking to get that personal touch in therapy. She is very easy to talk to and be open with. A+ experience.

I have had Rhonda for over a year now and she has been outstanding every single step of the way! She is the best therapist I have ever had! She Is extremely attentive and caring! She never once made me feel uncomfortable talking about my issues and has always been quick to respond to any issues I needed advice and help with. She works around my busy and confusing schedule and never has any issues when I need to reschedule and had always made time for me when I needed it most. Thank you so much, Rhonda!

Rhonda was so understanding and helpful during our time together. She really took the time to listen to what I had to say and I never felt uncomfortable-she’s easy to talk to! She was also easy to reach out to and only a message away.

This was my first ever experience with therapy and I must say, Yolanda made it really easy for me. I came to her for help with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. She is very open, understanding, and easy to talk to. It felt more like talking to a friend- a very wise friend - it was far less clinical than I’d thought originally. Her suggestions are always thoughtful and helpful. She also provided me with a lot of worksheets to further assist me in my thinking in whatever topic I happen to bring to her. These worksheets allowed me to work on myself in my free time, even when she wasn’t available. Which, truthfully, was just about never. Yolanda was always very quick and thoughtful with her responses. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy for similar problems.

Rhonda has been extremely helpful in the time that she's been working with me! She understands very well the nuances of deafness and the Deaf community - which has been a sticking point with all of the other therapists I've tried since I felt like I had to explain the complexities before unpacking my experiences. That wasn't the case with Rhonda, and she's also been extremely kind and helpful with all of her feedback and suggestions on how to improve things. She also has taken the time to address all of the concerns I've had about myself instead of dismissing them out of hand. I look forward to continue working with her and improving my personal and professional life!

At first, I used to be skeptical about therapy. It has been super helpful and I found peace within myself throughout the months, thank you Rhonda!!

Yolanda has been a wonderful therapist to me. She was always there when I needed her and no matter how many times I would repeat the same thing over and over she had patience to listen each and every time. She helped me get through my toughest year. She is so caring and genuinely cared about my well being.

I've only been with Yolanda for about a week now and she has already helped me so much. I love the work sheets she sends me on things I feel like I need to work on, and I feel like she truly listens and cares about helping me. When we don't have a video session scheduled I know I can message her any time about anything and she'd be more than happy to help me. She's absolutely awesome!!

I have tried countless therapists through the years and never continued past a session or two- Almost gave up and figured it wasn’t my thing. However I’m so grateful to have found Yolanda! She has helped me tremendously for over a month now and is so easy to talk to. She’s so insightful yet personable and has helped me overcome some major hurdles in life. You can tell she truly cares about you and is passionate about she does. I feel comfortable telling her anything and everything even if it comes out the wrong way- She has a way of not only listening/ understanding but shaping my negative thought patterns into positive, healthy ones. Yolanda has truly made a difference in my life!

She’s awesome - she makes you feel so comfortable. I feel I can explore my own ideas about what I’m going through, without being judged, but also look to her for guidance when there’s something I’m having trouble navigating. I honestly feel heard. And I feel I’m not just 1 out of a hundred… I feel I’m seen and known as an individual.

I have to say therapy has gone better than expected. I have put it off and did not think anyone would understand my specific challenges, until Yolanda! It has been like talking to a friend about my crazy life and medical issues with no judgment. She has been very understanding and comforting in letting me know my feelings are valid and I’m not the only one. ❤️ We are still warming up but I can see this helping along my way with challenges. Thanks
