Dorian Yates, LCSW

Psychotherapist
FL
Hi there! I'm Dorian Yates, a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of experience. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Florida State University. My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered, blending different techniques to fit your unique needs. I'm especially well-versed in life transitions and adjustments, burnout, and mood disorders. I also have special expertise in anxiety and ADHD, expertise I developed through my own experience! My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic, meaning I tailor my techniques to fit the unique needs of each client. I draw from various approaches, including person-in-environment, biopsychosocial, systems, narrative, and interpersonal frameworks. By blending these, I focus on understanding the full context of a client's life-emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically. My client focus is broad, and throughout my career-particularly in medical settings-I feel there isn't a population I haven't worked with, as the need for medical care doesn't discriminate. I consider myself very adaptable. My communication style is casual, unstructured, and never lacks well-timed and appropriate humor and pop culture references. You'll find I'm quite authentic; for example, if I don't know the answer to something, I won't rush to bluff (and if I tried, I'd definitely fail!). Sessions with me feel comfortable and conversational, like chatting with a friend who happens to have some tools to help. I strive to create an environment where you can be yourself without feeling judged. We'll laugh when it's needed and get serious when it's time, but you'll always feel heard, respected, and supported. I like to keep things flexible so that as we progress, we can adjust our goals based on what you're experiencing.
