Getting to know Yolanda Vernon

Hi there, I'm Yolanda! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing therapeutic services in the Tri-Cities of Virginia. I earned a bachelor's degree in social work from Norfolk State University and a master's degree in social work from Virginia Commonwealth University. My approach My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral, offered through individual, couples, or family therapy. I provide a supportive environment to help clients gain insight into patterns of negative coping mechanisms and develop positive strategies to manage difficult life situations, thoughts, behaviors, and patterns. My focus Most of the clients I work with have experienced relationship issues, anxiety disorder, depression, peer pressure, anger management challenges, and grief. My communication style I like to start where the client is at, creating a safe and supportive environment free of judgment to better understand the issue or reason the person is seeking therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I am passionate about helping others. I have been in this field for over 15 years, working with individuals and families to improve their overall mental and behavioral health. My goals for you I collaborate with clients to develop personalized treatment goals that support their growth and healing. My first session with you During the first session, I use active skills to assess the reason for referral and discuss confidentiality and safety.
