“I can’t recommend this Yonette enough. From the very first session, I felt truly heard and understood. They are an exceptional listener who creates a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly share your thoughts and feelings. What sets them apart is how they help you make sense of what you’re going through—they don’t just listen, they explain patterns, emotions, and behaviors in a way that really clicks.
They also hold you accountable in the best way, encouraging you to do the work needed to grow and heal. Their empathy is genuine, and you can feel how much they truly care. Every session feels meaningful, and I always leave with more clarity and tools to navigate life. I actually look forward to each session—it’s a space to vent, reflect, and grow. If you want a therapist who listens deeply, supports you, and challenges you to be your best self, this is the one.”

Getting to know Yonette Eversley
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Whether navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or health issues, I’m here to support you. As a Black woman and former foster parent turned adoptive mom, I understand the complexities of parenting, fostering, and adoption. I support parents through these paths, navigating the joys and challenges they bring. I’m passionate about helping women of color through life transitions like career changes, family shifts, and menopause. I also work with elderly clients and others facing big changes, offering a safe space to process and grow.
I hold an MEd in Counseling Education from Alfred University, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to guide my clients effectively. My approach combines narrative therapy, where we focus on reshaping the stories you tell yourself about your life, with solution-focused therapy, which helps us identify your strengths and develop practical strategies to achieve your goals. I also incorporate mindfulness, coping techniques, and other tailored approaches to support your unique journey.
Outside of work, I enjoy time with my kids, family, peaceful walks, and good books. Life gets busy, and I understand the struggle of balancing demands while prioritizing yourself. Starting therapy is a brave step, and I’d be honored to support you on your path to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
As endorsed by Sneha Raja on Psychology Today:
"I highly recommend Yonette. Her expertise in fostering & adoption offer her a unique insight into complicated family dynamics. Her compassion and commitment to accessible therapy provides an empowering and supportive space to navigate major life changes."
Yonette Eversley has a Master’s in Counseling from Alfred University. Yonette is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Cerebral (# 016547) (NY).
What should a new client know about working with you?
When working with me, clients can expect is a clinician who is open, warm, and collaborative, unafraid to gently challenge you. I strive to create a comfortable environment where you can freely express yourself without fear of judgment. Additionally, I incorporate appropriate humor to lighten the mood. I believe that therapy should be a partnership, where we work together towards your goals and growth. My approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs, combining evidence-based techniques with a deep sense of empathy and understanding. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal development, I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and uncover the strengths and resilience within you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The perfect client for me is open to reshaping their personal narrative and ready to embark on the chapter where they establish their identity.They are willing to delve deep into their past experiences, uncovering the moments that have shaped them, while also bravely exploring the possibilities of their future. This client understands that growth often requires stepping out of their comfort zone and embracing the unknown. They are eager to harness their strengths, confront their weaknesses, and ultimately, craft a story that aligns with their true self. Together, we will navigate the intricate journey of self-discovery, celebrating each milestone and overcoming every challenge along the way. My role is to provide guidance, support, and tools to help them articulate their narrative with clarity and confidence, ensuring that each page they turn brings them closer to a more authentic and fulfilling identity.

From our phone consultation, talking to Yonette has felt like a conversation not rigid. In the past I have always felt like other therapists were judging me, but with her its like I am talking to someone that works very hard to make me feel heard, seen, and understand. I ha a connection with her right away. If you are looking for someone that loves what they do, I highly recommend connecting with Yonette.

Yonette is an understanding and supportive therapist. She offers support via action planning and gentle/loving accountability. Our sessions are 100 percent judgement free and in working with her I have learned to relinquish guilt for self-care and asserting my independence. She allows her clients to lead the session and is an accountable partner when we fall short. She is big on meeting her clients where they are.

Yonette was an excellent provider for my couples counseling and I would highly recommend her services. She is kind, supportive, an active listener, funny, straightforward, and organized. She will listen attentively and support both parties showing them respect, and offer her perspectives on things occurring within your relationship. I appreciate her so much for her help recently!
