About me
Hello my name is Ashley Yattoni and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois. I graduated with my Education Specialist Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Loyola University of Chicago in 2020. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a minor in Sociology from St. Ambrose University, graduating in 2018. I was able to intern at Garfield Park Behavioral Hospital in Chicago which was an inpatient and partial hospital facility, working primarily with pediatrics, adolescents, and their families. Since completing graduate school, I have worked at Unity Point Trinity – Robert Young Center on the behavioral health inpatient unit, as well as Robert Young’s Outpatient clinic providing therapy with diverse clientele.
I love working with both children and adults, utilizing integrative approaches that meet the need of each client. I have a passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, life stressors, relationship distress, grief, and stress.
One of my greatest strengths is being able to build authentic rapport with each individual I work with. I enjoy to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere to allow the client to feel heard and validated throughout their therapeutic experience.
I am a new mother and work a second job so I currently only offer texting appointments. I have limited availability for video appointments.

Listens to me very thoroughly and investigates the background of topic more to further understand my situation! The best therapist by far!
