Getting to know Dr. Yolanda Brannon

Hi there, I'm Yolanda! Life is a journey. Make a change starting today. Live longer, be stronger, and thrive. Don't let barriers such as stress, anxiety, past failures, decreased motivation, and other elements sabotage your efforts and progress towards your health and wellness. My approach I am a clinical health-psychologist who uses specialized training in behavioral-medicine, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychological principles, and evidence-based treatments, including nutritional-psychology to promote lifestyle and health-behavior changes that enhance treatment outcomes. I have a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology, a M.S. in Counseling & Clinical Health Psychology from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, a B.S. in psychology from SC State University, and a Bachelor of Biblical Studies from Andersonville Theological Seminary. I hold several certifications: Binge Eating & Chronic Dieting Professional (CBECDP), Board Certified Bariatric Counselor (BCBC) by the American Academy of Bariatric Counselors, Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP), Certified in EMG Biofeedback (BCB) by Biofeedback Certification International Alliance, and am a Registered Play Therapy-Supervisor (RPT-S) of the Association for Play Therapy. My focus I enjoy helping individuals cope and adjust to living with chronic medical conditions. My specialty areas include the following: Obesity/weight management, Problematic eating behaviors/habits, Binge-eating disorder, Pre-dabetes/diabetes behaviors, Chronic pain, Gastrointestinal disorders (Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn's), Pre and post-bariatric surgery counseling, and Presurgical-psychological evaluations (Bariatric-surgery evaluations). My communication style I engage in clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
