Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy

I provide individualized therapeutic services for adolescents, emerging adults, and adults. I am extremely passionate about helping individuals work through the rough and uncomfortable experiences of their lives. I believe every person comes to therapy with their own individual needs, and my role is to help facilitate their individual needs. Therefore, I adapt my interventions based on a comprehensive assessment of who an individual is and exactly what they need.

Youth Mental Health First Aid

Youth Mental Health First Aid is a skills-based training that teaches parents, family members, caregivers, teachers, school staff, peers, neighbors and health and human services workers and any other citizen how to identify, understand and respond to an adolescent (ages 12-18) who may be experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge. 

 

I am a certified Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor.

CLIENT REVIEW

“My wife and I were referred to Yalonda during the shutdown from COVID. After our first telehealth meeting we felt like “yes, we want to speak with her again. Yalonda is empathetic, caring and has a non-judgmental approach that really made my wife and I comfortable to open up to her.

 

We were able to build a trusting relationship with her through our telehealth sessions. She is incredibly professional and engaging. Yalonda knew exactly how to challenge us to think beyond ourselves to better communicate with one another.

 

She taught us how to really listen to each other and respect each other’s feelings and opinions. My wife and I are in a better place with each other thanks to her guidance and trust in us.”
