My name is Yara Adam-Whiter, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Brooklyn, New York, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work mostly from a person-centered approach to understand your worldview so that we can achieve progress toward your unique therapy goals. I enjoy working with LGBTQIA2S+ individuals and their families. I may also be a good fit for clients for first-generation and immigrant clients. We can work on understanding how your intersectionality forms your ideas about the world and the challenges you deal with navigating different cultural expectations in different situations.
Areas of expertise include PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress. I work with you to navigate transition periods and to build skills to help you feel better about yourself and develop a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style is animated, empathetic, open, and honest. I like to create a collaborative environment where you are the expert on you, with me walking alongside on your journey. I pride myself on my ability to actively listen without judgment in the hopes that you feel comfortable talking to me about anything.
