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 both professional and compassionate. She has an innate ability to help me put words to my feelings and make sense of why I might make decisions that I do. She does all of this with a firm foundation in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Down to earth, understands what you’re trying to say, gives good homework and good reading recommendations.
Written on May 01, 2024 after therapy with Yolanda for 4 months on issues concerning relationship issues, and intimacy-related issues
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.
