Getting to know Yolanda Jenkins
Hi there, I'm Yolanda!
My name is Yolanda Jenkins, and I'm a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California, offering services statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling from Point Loma Nazarene University. I work with adults treating Mood Disorders, Life Stressors, Interpersonal Conflict, Grief, and Life Transition issues.
My eclectic approach to therapy incorporates Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. This approach helps my clients gain deeper self-awareness and make meaningful changes in their lives.
My approach
My eclectic approach allows me to utilize therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to empower my clients and promote self-efficacy.
My focus
I primarily work with adults between the ages of 18 and 60 who struggle with Mood Disorders such as Anxiety and Depression. I also treat Life Stressors, Grief, and Interpersonal Conflict issues.
My communication style
My communication style is direct, compassionate, and sometimes humorous to create a sense of safety, comfort, and a non-judgmental atmosphere. This style allows my clients to show up as imperfect human beings in sessions.
