Dr Yazell is caring and sweet. She has helped me identify how to moderate stresses in my life that i can control while we journey the unknown with my son's family and his medical emergencies along with my father's health as well and how these are effecting my relationship with my spouse. She's helped to put a plan into place to allow self care and still get things done in my home. I am currently seeing her for anxiety, stress management, depression and trauma. She is always willing to listen and encourages me to care for myself. i am blessed that i have her to help navigate my feelings and actions during this difficult time.
