Getting to know Ej Yarbrough

I’m EJ Yarbrough, LCPC, a professional listener with over four years of experience in college counseling, community mental health, and private practice. I earned my master’s in counseling from The Family Institute at Northwestern University and my bachelor’s in theatre from Truman State University. I’m passionate about supporting queer, neurodivergent, and other marginalized people as they navigate change, recognize their strengths, and reconnect with their agency and joy. I believe therapy can offer a safe-enough space to explore new possibilities and make meaningful changes in your life, at your own pace, with respect for you too. My practice is grounded in humor, humility, and curiosity. I use a collaborative, strengths-based approach informed by psychodynamic training and feminist and systems-based perspectives. I also draw from ACT, DBT, CBT, and mindfulness, tailoring our work to what feels most useful for you. We’ll stay curious and adapt as your needs and goals evolve over time! I strive to offer queer-centered, kink-inclusive care that honors your identity, relationships, communities, and the systems that shape your well-being. Therapy is a space for us to learn together, explore what matters to you, and build on your strengths. I hope you leave feeling empowered to create change. I welcome you as you are, without judgment.
