Yolaunie Findley

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. I bring a compassionate, culturally informed approach to therapy, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. My work focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and personal growth. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and collaborative space where each person feels respected, understood, and empowered to achieve their goals.

I obtained a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of West Florida and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Central Florida, demonstrating applied knowledge of mental health principles and practices.

My therapeutic work emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and healing from experiences of isolation, shame, and personal struggle. I understand the intricate ways life changes and interpersonal dynamics can impact mental wellness. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and reconnect with their inherent strengths.

I am deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they rediscover their sense of purpose, build healthier relationships, and cultivate greater self-understanding. My approach is rooted in respect, empathy, and a genuine belief in each person's capacity for healing and transformation.

Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment during their first session. My goal is to create a space where they feel comfortable sharing their experiences, concerns, and goals at their own pace. During our initial meeting, we will discuss what brings them to therapy, explore relevant personal history, identify strengths and challenges, and begin clarifying what they hope to achieve through the therapeutic process.

Together, we will establish meaningful goals that align with their unique needs and values. I strive to foster a collaborative relationship built on trust, cultural humility, authenticity, and respect. By the end of the first session, clients can expect to have a clearer understanding of the therapy process and feel supported in taking the next steps toward growth, healing, and overall well-being.
