Getting to know Yara Adam Whiter

Hi there, I'm Yara! My name is Yara Adam-Whiter, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Brooklyn, New York, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling from New York University. I work mostly from a person-centered approach to understand your worldview so that we can achieve progress toward your unique therapy goals. My approach My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each person. I tend to draw on ideas and approaches from a variety of schools of thought and sources. My counseling competencies include multicultural sensitivities, LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative care, and developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed care. I work most frequently with Person-Centered therapy and bring in tools from Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Expressive Art Therapy. These modalities will help us build a shared understanding of your worldview and allow us to work together to chart a path forward. My focus I enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and their families. I may also be a good fit for first-generation and immigrant clients. We can work on understanding how your intersectionality forms your ideas about the world and the challenges you face navigating different cultural expectations in different situations. Areas of expertise include PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress. I work with you to navigate transition periods and to build skills to help you feel better about yourself and develop a more positive outlook on life. My communication style My communication style is animated, empathetic, open, and honest. I like to create a collaborative environment where you are the expert on you, with me walking alongside on your journey. I pride myself on my ability to actively listen without judgment in the hopes that you feel comfortable talking to me about anything.
