I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, addiction and trauma. I recognize that we all struggle on occasion, and at times those struggles become problematic and overwhelming. It is during those times that finding someone to talk to, to trust, can make all the difference in how we respond to our circumstances.

It is often difficult to talk to others about your problems, but I am here to listen. I work with clients of all ages who are attempting to make changes in their lives. I have experience working with anxiety and depression, addictions, eating disorders, trauma, and relationship problems. Together we will work in a calm and relaxing setting to help you learn to cope and adapt to your life and make the changes necessary to feel better.

How does the "talking cure" help? It might have even been called the "listening cure." Having a helpful and supportive ear is something many people find they need at various transition points in their lives. Having a safe place to talk, in a warm and supportive environment, is crucial. The tool of our work is the relationship and, as research has shown, is the most important predictor of success in psychotherapy. I enjoy working with my patients as they seek to find their way to a richer and more fulfilling life.

I am a strength based, future-foused clinician who facilitates therapy as an experiential process. I enable clients to access their own personal history of learnings and achievements while guiding them to create future memories of success. I incorporate mindfullness, hypnnotic zone exercises, and solution-focused/strategic therapies to help clients become smart enough to know when to stop thinking. What-iffing, Why-ing, and Self-Criticizing clients are welcome to experience a peak performance therapy that allows them to access, reconnect with, and be their best self. I also work extensively with athletes, corporate professionals, and performers.

Welcome everyone! My name is Khalilah Yadullah. I am a psychotherapist. I believe in providing each person with a safe and judgement-free space, when in a therapeutic session.

Teletherapy openings available for individuals and couples ... I believe most people are doing their best, with the tools they have, for themselves and those they care about. Making changes may mean adapting old tools, acquiring new ones, or a combination of the two. In my practice we do that with a mixture of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and - especially for couples - Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Maybe you’re experiencing a creative block, relationship stagnancy, grief and loss, job dissatisfaction, career choice difficulty, feeling uninspired by life, struggling with food or substances, etc. Maybe you're taking on some of life's biggest milestones: graduation, marriage, embarking on becoming a parent, etc.

Are you curious about how your exploration of your inner experiences could deepen your relationship to yourself and the world around you? Hi, I’m Jess. I’m a queer, black clinician who believes that we are all simultaneously imperfect and good, that our relationships shape who we are, and that we have all of the wisdom we need to heal.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my approach is genuine and sincere. My focus is to help clients recognize and manage emotions, encourage ways to effectively express what they are feeling and introduce fun and effective coping strategies.

To support the whole family, I attend to parents through couples counseling, and parenting skills to enhance/improve communication.

It has been an honor to serve and be invited into countless lives that span across cultures and intersections of identity. I remember the vulnerability, courage and boldness it took to begin my own therapeutic journey. I know that feeling bold, courageous, and empowered might be incongruent with what is felt when starting down this path. In fact, sad, tired, frustrated, or misunderstood might be more accurate. In either scenario, I intend to partner with you, and walk this path together. My training in marriage and family therapy has supported my understanding of individuals by seeing them from a systemic lens.

I specialize in guiding people through life transitions, moments of reevaluation and readjustment. This may include recovering from trauma, addiction, grief, spiritual crisis, or just the emotional turmoil and sense of upheaval that comes after unexpected events, or when moving between life’s stages. I also focus on relationships and attachment issues, navigating the complex entanglements of family, friendship, and romantic relationships, and on creating more safe, healthy, intimate, and loving relationships.
