Are you finding yourself struggling with life challenges or transitions and need help learning to cope? Life presents challenges to each of us every day whether that is illness, relationships, or the stress of our busy lives.

In addition to traditional issues such as anxiety and depression, I work with a variety of other issues such as chronic illness, grief, parenting skills, pre-marital / marriage counseling, relationships, etc.

Are you constantly on edge—angry or irritable with the people you care about most? Do you feel disconnected, alone, or like you and your spouse are just roommates? Maybe you feel blamed for everything that's wrong, or you’re wondering if this is all life has to offer. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and asking God for help—but nothing seems to change. Even He feels distant.

My name is Yilmaz Taskin, as a certified Marriage & Family Therapist and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I offer an open-minded, non-judgmental, and empathetic counseling/therapy approach in a safe and supportive environment. Some problems, in our lives, are either self-imposed or imposed on us by other means. What we perceive might be different than reality. Negative beliefs affect us mentally and physically. Misinterpretations and irrational or self-defeating beliefs can create unhappy feelings, self-doubt, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, etc. Problems don’t go away by themselves; we need to resolve them.

I offer in-person and telehealth sessions.
My counseling approach is client-centered and goal-oriented. By definition, this allows individuals to experience growth, positive outcomes, and fulfillment by actively participating in his or her own therapy in order to create change. Often, people lose hope when they think that things will never be different. They try and struggle and sometimes fail. But, you have an opportunity to think differently, relate differently, and transition from negativity to positive behaviors which will result in a powerful sense of self and promote strong interpersonal relationships.
