Trauma Focused Therapists in Pensacola, FL

Hello! I'm excited you have found my page. I love working with children, teens, adults, and elderly in effort to find their passion in life. I enjoy helping them remove barriers that are keeping them from being their most awesome or live their dream. I have been practicing over 15 years.

A Licensed Psychologist since 2004, I have specific expertise in child, adolescent, adult, couples, and family therapy. I have worked with over ten thousand children, adolescents, and adults.

When teens and adults feel overwhelmed, they FEEL it- mind & body. There are so many factors; high achievers, life changes, puberty, and the rapidly shifting world around us can all play a part in the exhausting and overwhelming feelings many people live with. These things can have a direct effect on your physical health, too! The brain and the body are connected, and they will let you know when things are not in sync. This can be confusing for some people, they get stuck and don't know how to move forward. Feeling stuck can increase those distressing thoughts related to anxiety, depression, and trauma.

It is our most challenging seasons that usher in the deepest healing. When life gets hard it is easy to feel stuck and challenging to feel hopeful. I am here to guide you along your journey of healing. I provide holistic therapy to couples and individuals. My therapy practice is both heart and research guided. All good therapy starts with trust and safety. From there we can determine the best way for you to achieve your goals both as an individual and couple.

I take a holistic and comprehensive approach for total health and wellness by integrating a variety of mental health therapies with nutrition and exercise counseling. I believe the mind and body can have a significant impact on each other and offer an approach that helps clients find their unique healthy balance.

I am a licensed mental health counselor who specializes in work with children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I will work with you and/or your loved ones to address any concerns with managing the effects of depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, divorce, grief and loss and various other challenges while helping you maintain a productive life style.

Do you feel sad, overwhelmed, or stuck? Facing a difficult life transition? Or maybe you're struggling in your relationship? The circumstances of life can leave us feeling alone and uncertain of what lies ahead. My passion is helping individuals take their power back. I will guide you as you learn to identify patterns, overcome obstacles and recognize your innate gifts. I provide a safe place for clients to share their story while feeling seen, heard, and understood.

Hi! I'm Yolanda. I'm an open-minded mental health therapist, licensed in the state of Florida. I've been practicing approximately 14 years. However, I joke that I've been a therapist since I was 12 years old because I've always sought resolution, peace, and togetherness. My expertise in relationship counseling comes from working with many families over the years. Relationships can be hard at times because there are ongoing situations and circumstances that challenge them. There are effective ways to get through the tough times. I can help you implement effective tools needed to attain and maintain healthy relationships.

Thank you for visiting my page. I have current openings on Mondays at 6p.m., Saturdays at 9:30a.m. and 11:00a.m. I am a board-certified psychologist with over 20 years of experience. Some areas I work with include: Grief, coping with history of trauma and abuse, career concerns, workplace difficulties, romantic relationship issues, difficulty starting relationships, coping with break-ups, difficult relationships with your family of origin, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, social anxiety, depression, self-compassion, parenting a college student, being a college student, self-forgiveness, anger management, and finding meaning in life.

I have enjoyed providing support in mental health for over 20 years now. We all face moments of distress and experience unplanned circumstances in our lives that we simply are not prepared for. It can be difficult to navigate our way through all of the thoughts that may come up or the different levels of pain we tend to experience and I know that reaching out for help can be challenging. All have their own healing journeys and I am grateful to be able to help individuals with discovering their unique path to healing, growth and change.

You had a painful experience & your life changed in an instant. Who you were & how you saw the world - just aren’t the same anymore. You feel lost, angry, & afraid. Maybe you experienced a sexual trauma, got a scary medical diagnosis, or lost someone (or something) that you love. Maybe it happened suddenly without any warning or maybe the fact that you knew it was coming, made it feel even worse. You feel alone- not sure what to do with yourself. Your friends and family care, but they don’t know what to do either. You need someone who understands & can help you put the pieces of your life back together. You want to feel whole again.

You can have a life that is not defined by anxiety, depression, shame, or loneliness. You can be brave and confident. You can value your own needs as much as you value others'. You can heal from growing up with emotionally-immature parents, harmful religious teachings/experiences, sexual abuse, trauma, and shame. My job is to guide you there. I love helping clients find their voice and increase their self-confidence. I help you identify the factors underlying your anxiety, trauma, and depression so you're not just trying to cope with them anymore, but can have more of the life you want.

You lost something important to you and your world has never been the same. Maybe you know exactly what happened. Maybe it happened so long ago, you can't remember the details. Either way, you're haunted by the ghost of a better life. It always seems to be just out of reach. Something needs to change, you can feel it in your bones. But every time you start to move in the right direction, things fall apart. Sometimes you wonder if you're doomed to feel this miserable and broken for the rest of your life.

Psychotherapy and taking the first step in initiating services can often feel awkward or almost even scary. But, the personal work you do in therapy can be one of the most rewarding efforts you can undertake.
