I am a licensed counselor in Maryland with over a decade of education in psychology and counseling. I have half a decade experience in the field in a number of different settings from emergency rooms to outpatient clinics. I gained my PhD in Counseling in May 2022. I am a National Certified Counselor and am a Board Certified Telemental Health Counselor. I have had training in an array of mental health issues from depression, anxiety, bipolar, career concerns, life transitions, racial or identity discrimination, and trauma. While I don't exclusively work in these therapies, I heavily borrow from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Working in the settings from inpatient to outpatient has afforded me the skill to shape keen diagnostic skills, and you receive the benefit of knowing I will take on the most efficient treatment for your diagnosis. I work first and foremost with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. As a counselor, I know it takes courage to seek and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. At Liberty University I became keenly aware of the five domains of the individual: the cognitive, the behavioral, the emotional, the social and the spiritual. While I attended Liberty University I know our faiths, spirituality and walks of life all look different. I will support you in your journey.

It’s so important for me to help others find comfort and confidence in their own identity and personal space. I believe in embracing individuality while recognizing that it’s okay to retreat and recharge when needed. For me, it’s about reminding people to accept and nurture the unique qualities that make them who they are, fostering a sense of inner peace and strength. I’m David Yeager, LCSW-C, and the founder of Tortally Therapeutics, LLC: Psychotherapy & Counseling Services. My approach to mental health care is inspired by the qualities tortoises embody—patience, resilience, adaptability, and the importance of a strong foundation. These qualities are deeply relevant to the healing process and serve as guiding principles in my practice. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and my Master’s in Social Work from Morgan State University. As a licensed clinical social worker and board-approved supervisor, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate life’s challenges for over a decade. I specialize in supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, including relationship challenges, trauma, domestic violence, child welfare, life skills development, anxiety, depression, anger management, and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing begins when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with you?” and instead explore, “What happened to you?” I’ve seen firsthand how past experiences shape who we are and how we respond to the world around us. By addressing these experiences with compassion and curiosity, I help my clients find healing, resilience, and empowerment. As a therapist, I’m interactive and solution-focused. I draw from techniques in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy to tailor treatment to each individual. My goal is to help clients identify what’s important to them, develop effective coping strategies, and gain deeper insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change and improving their overall well-being. For scheduling, please contact me directly.

Seeking help is the most challenging thing that most of us will ever do. Armed with life skills, information, and knowledge, we are expected to have all the right answers. Even if we have endured familial, racial, or socio-economic struggles and barriers, we hesitate to seek assistance because of our conditioning to perfection. This pressure makes it that much harder to speak with an absolute stranger and pour out all our life’s troubles. However, if that stranger is a genuine listener, makes us feel safe, and compassionately transitions us from pain to healing, it becomes easier to let that person in on our helplessness. One step at a time toward feeling whole is where it all begins. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia, National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), Certified Mindfulness Informed Professional (CMIP), and a Certified YOGABODY Breathing Coach (Yoga Teachers College, American Council of Exercise). At Georgetown University, I offer mental health counseling to employees and their immediate family members and significant others. From bus drivers, housekeepers, administrative professionals to chaplains, academics, international scholars, and more I have engaged a diverse population. Clinically, I have worked on reproductive, relationship, addiction, small (t) and big (T) trauma, mood, personality, developmental disorders, and more. The focus of my therapeutic intervention is an eclectic and integrative approach to holistic health and wellbeing. Integrating and incorporating different treatment modalities, I engage your biological, cognitive, emotional, social, and prosocial self to empower you towards healing. Whether you prefer talk therapy or need energetic behavior change, I will help you start from where you are now. Be confident that you will experience a kind and non-judgmental space for your struggle. I invite you to come to meet with me.
