My dad passed away in June and life just began spiraling out of control. I have been doing sessions with Ms. Yolanda since November. She listens, she understands me, she has prayed with me and she’s 100% authentic and honest! I am recommending her to any and everyone!

The best therapist I’ve had. I’ve always felt like the things I entrust my previous therapists use to blow their mind and never had an intellectual response, kinda like speaking to a friend not real professionals, but Yolanda knows what she is doing, if I blow her mind with my troubles she blows my mind with a wise response. we have a goal, a plan of action. She is wise, she is for me.

Yolanda is so easy to talk to. She works to see things through my perspective and she challenges me when she sees inconsistencies in my values vs. my actions. She is a safe place to land (she knows how important that is to me!). Safe enough that I challenge her back when I think she has misunderstood me or interpreted my words differently from what I meant. She doesn't come across as lofty or clinical. She is real. I am very thankful for Yolanda.
