Yolanda Esatai

• Hello, I'm Yolanda. I hold a BA in Psychology from North Texas State University, where I graduated Cum Laude, and an M.Ed. in Educational Psychology with a focus on Counseling & Guidance from the University of Texas at Austin. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of concerns.
• My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse-including Domestic Violence/coercive relationships and PTSD, gender identity affirmation-living your life as your authentic self, LGBTIA+ support, grief and bereavement, life transitions, career development, multicultural and diversity issues, intimate and romantic relationships, spirituality, stress, family relationships and Life Skills-learning and consistently practicing effective skills and strategies.
• If you're ready to take the first step towards a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to create positive change and achieve your goals.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to navigate life's challenges and uncover your inner strengths. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding and a genuine commitment to helping you achieve your goals. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel heard and validated.

I offer Video Telehealth sessions.

In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and non-judgmental space where we can explore your thoughts and feelings, identify your goals for personal growth and begin to achieve them.

During your first session with me, I will focus on getting to know you; your back story, what events/experiences/issues and problems are bringing you into psychotherapy and what your goals are for personal growth and learning. I lead with first seeking to understand.

I will also answer any questions you may have about myself as a psychotherapist; my educational background, my history of practice as a psychotherapist, my style as a psychotherapist and how I can help you to address the issues/problems that are bringing you into psychotherapy at this time.
