I provide therapy in a way that is warm, empowering, and honest. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and supported, while also helping you move toward meaningful change.

I work with clients navigating depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, family stress, relationship concerns, women’s issues, and maternal mental health. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and I see the process as a collaboration — one where your voice, goals, and pace matter. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready to heal from painful experiences, I aim to meet you with compassion while also helping you challenge patterns that are no longer serving you.

I am a Trauma-Focused Therapist with over 12 years of experience supporting individuals and families as they navigate trauma, maternal mental health, and emotional healing. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Family Consumer Science and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been a licensed professional in the state of Georgia for 6 years. My work focuses on helping clients who have experienced trauma, abuse (sexual, emotional, physical), anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, domestic violence, blended families, and major life transitions.

I help people of all ages- children, teens, and adults - who are survivors of complex trauma and PTSD. I am passionate about empowering survivors to loosen the chains of trauma and move forward. I use EMDR, DBT, CPT and play therapy to help clients to overcome the inner pain of trauma and build a life that is safer and more grounded. I enjoy helping children through the use of Child Centered Play Therapy and Playful EMDR to support children through challenges like self-esteem, bullying and other school- related problems. With 25 years spent as an educator, I have stood in those hallways and know what kids face. Additionally, I enjoy working with parents to navigate the everyday challenges that arise in parenting in this digital age. I enjoy walking with adolescents and teens who struggle just to get up and go to school each day because I remember what that felt like when I was a teenager. I also enjoy walking with students who self -harm, struggle with suicide ideology, bullying, and navigating peer and parental relationships. I consider it an honor to walk along with Trauma Survivors as a certified Traumatologist. I have supported people in healing from sexual assault, traumatic accidents, profound grief, and many other life-altering events. I feel deeply honored to care for firefighters, police officers, and first responders impacted by they have seen on the job. I offer Animal Assisted Therapy with her French Bulldog, Zoey, who is especially comforting to all of the clients that I see.

I have a passion for working with individuals and couples in the LGBTQ+ community. I enjoy providing individuals with support and guidance as they learn to understand and accept their gender and/or sexual identity. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples as they explore consensual non-monogamy and how to effectively navigate an open relationship.

Hi, I'm Yourdeline, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in anxiety, boundaries, and self-esteem. I work with adults who are high functioning on the outside but exhausted on the inside.

My approach is direct, warm, and collaborative. Sessions with me feel like a real conversation, not a lecture. I'll challenge you, support you, and help you understand the patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

I have a particular passion for working with first generation and Caribbean Americans navigating the unique pressures of family expectations, cultural identity, and unlearning what they were taught about emotions and boundaries.

I am currently accepting new clients virtually in New Jersey, Georgia, and Florida.

I work with teens 16 years+ and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity questions, trauma, ADHD, and self esteem struggles. Many of my clients come to therapy trying to understand themselves better and figure out why certain patterns keep showing up in their lives.

As a parent and therapist, I understand how life experiences, family dynamics, and past challenges shape who we become. Clients often describe me as open minded, supportive, and empowering. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you are going through while also feeling encouraged to grow and move forward.
