Client-Centered

Yvette strives to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can talk openly about what they are experiencing, better understand patterns in their lives, strengthen coping skills, and work toward goals that feel meaningful and realistic.

 

Therapy may include exploring emotions, identifying strengths, developing healthier coping strategies, improving communication, establishing boundaries, processing difficult experiences, and strengthening resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. When you are ready, I invite you to reach out and take the next step toward healing, clarity, and growth.

What concerns do you help clients with?

I work with adolescents and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues. I also support individuals navigating substance-use recovery and co-occurring mental-health concerns.

Your first session is a welcoming space to share what brings you to therapy, discuss your goals, and decide what support may be most helpful. We will review your history, current concerns, strengths, and hopes for change at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-informed approaches while honoring your lived experiences, culture, values, strengths, and personal goals.

Yes. Telehealth counseling allows you to meet from a private, secure location that is convenient for you. Before your first appointment, you will receive information about accessing your virtual session and completing any needed paperwork.

Yes, I am currently accepting new clients. A brief, free 15-minute consultation is available so we can discuss what you are looking for and determine whether working together may be a good fit.

I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Curative insurance. Private-pay sessions are $150, and sliding-scale options may be available based on need; please reach out to discuss current availability and payment options.

Most clients begin by meeting weekly so we can build consistency and momentum. As we work together, we can revisit the frequency of sessions based on your goals, needs, schedule, and progress.

You are welcome to reach out through the contact form on this website to request a free consultation or ask a question about services. During the consultation, we can briefly discuss your needs, review fees or insurance, and identify a time for your first appointment if we decide to move forward.

Your privacy is important. What you share in therapy is confidential, with limited exceptions required by law or necessary to protect you or someone else from serious harm. We will review confidentiality and its limits together before beginning services.

No. Many people begin therapy simply knowing that they want to feel better, understand themselves more deeply, or receive support during a difficult time. We can explore what is happening together and create goals that feel meaningful and manageable for you.
