As a therapist, I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach to ensure that my client’s needs are central to the change process.
I see therapy as a collaborative process with my clients and believe that everyone has the capacity to change and grow. Many clients I work with are seeking therapy for understanding, connection, and support as they navigate through life’s challenges. Oftentimes, there are experiences or events that have occurred throughout the lifespan that lead folks to feeling stuck in the past or anxious about the future. I believe that examining and understanding these experiences can help individuals recognize current patterns, thought processes, and behaviors that might be keeping them from living in alignment with their values.

Hello! I'm Dr. Yoder. Seeking growth is a brave (and sometimes anxiety-provoking) thing to do. It takes curiosity, courage, and openness to lean into this work. I specialize in depression, anxieties, relational trauma or abuse, harm reduction, complex PTSD, and identity development. It is truly a privilege to walk with each of my clients through the pain they arrived with, and notice that we come out on the other side together, with new empowerment - I love this work!

I applaud you for making the first step in looking for a therapist. You may be feeling frustrated and thinking that you are out of hope. Are you lonely and isolated in your pain? Let your pain be the messenger; it is informing you to take action. It is time to make a change. While nothing that you are going through is easy, this pain is the catalyst for growth. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples repair, reconnect and rejuvenate their relationships.

Being an overthinker myself, I have learned the power of implicit knowing and through mindfulness practices holding space to listen to all parts of self. Validating the unique human experience of each of my clients with warmth and acceptance is priority in the work I do. Feeling truly seen, heard, and understood without judgement builds connections with self and others. I enjoy “being a fellow traveler” with my clients as they find their own voice and empowerment to live the life that aligns best for them. "Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed." -Thich Nhat Hanh

For many of us, it is hard to ask for help when we really need it. Many say that is due to a sense of pride or just plain stubbornness. Realizing we cannot move through the world alone is scary. It can be even more terrifying to be vulnerable with another person. Through that vulnerability comes growth, and watching my clients move through this process is my favorite part of the job. By building and fostering a therapeutic relationship we can help identify core problems, set goals, and find ways to help you be your best self.

New clients welcome. I have a passion in working with young adults, teens, and children experiencing anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. These experiences can often leave us feeling fragmented or disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I believe that great healing comes from a place of seeing and beginning to trust an alliance with ourselves. Together, we can pave the way back into the present moment with clarity, connection, and compassion. I am an empathetic and ever-learning counselor with a diverse skillset and strong degree of patience, knowledge, and self-reflection.

As humans, we tend to project our understanding of ourselves onto the rest of our environment. If we don’t understand why we behave the way we do or if we don't feel very great about ourselves, that can impact how we see the rest of the world and how we go about living in it. My goal in therapy is to help you better understand yourself and work towards a new way of navigating the world around you. Here's to positive wellness and finding renewed satisfaction in life!

I have worked in the mental health field for more than 25 years providing services for children, individuals, couples & families from diverse populations & cultures. Many of the individuals & families I have worked with have faced problems with anxiety, depression, relationships, family discord, parenting, school/work problems, as well as trauma & abuse. I believe that individuals & families often possess the strengths, wisdom, & resources to uniquely solve their problems. Therapy is fertile ground for these strengths & solutions to surface & for real & lasting change to take place, often in a relatively short period of time.

I have found that success, whether relationship, career, parenting, spiritual, or otherwise - can be blunted or excelled based on our perspective and emotional capacity. Often we are using the tools we have or were given and doing the best we can, but it doesn't seem to be enough. I believe we are able to learn tools and skills we were never taught, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and gain a new hope and perspective that allows us to find the success in life we desire. We don’t have to be stagnant with where we are. We can grow and change, — especially when we are supported and taught how to.

I am passionate about helping clients understand their communication styles and build healthier relationships. I utilize a variety of modalities, such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

It takes courage to seek help and I admire those who do. Although I have worked with people with various issues through the years; trauma, grief, estrangement, anxiety and mood-related issues are primary interests. I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples. Although I am trained in several approaches, I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy. As a trained CCTP (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional), many of the skills I have gained through training apply to people with various life difficulties and challenges.
