Therapists in North End, Boise, ID

I am a seasoned and mature psychoanalyst offering patients an in-depth therapy experience with the goal of very real change. I see most all late adolescent and adult patient populations. I offer several specialties including psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and supportive counseling. Please note that I have extensive experience treating post-traumatic stress disorders and dissociative disorders. I have worked, supervised and taught in Philadelphia, Seattle, Montana and Idaho for thirty plus years and am well recognized in these communities.

Hello, I'm Dr. Yoder - Please note, my sliding scale slots are full at this time, but I have a few openings for new clients. 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, history of abuse, complex PTSD, and identity development. It is 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 my work.

In my practice, I work with adolescents, children and adults. My specialties include: relationship problems, adolescent development, health psychology, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, learning disabilities and attentional problems. Infertility counseling is also a special interest of mine, including third party reproduction issues (donor and surrogacy). My therapeutic approach varies depending on the issues with which you are struggling and who you are as a person. I don't have one approach that fits all clients but tailor my work to the individual. In general, I help clients identify and enhance their current psychological strengths in order to address their problems.

Accepting New Teletherapy Clients Now . . . Are you banging your head against the wall with mental clutter burnout? Do you find your inner critic saying, "What's wrong with me?" even during experiences that are "supposed to be fun?" Keep reading, because I work with busy people who recognize that clearing this mental clutter is the first step in showing up for themselves and the important people in their life.

I provide therapy for adults and teens, aimed at healing emotional wounds, understanding oneself, and achieving one's potential. I often deal with issues such as depression, anxiety, self-criticism, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship challenges, life changes and life purpose. I also work with families and couples to improve communication, solve conflicts, and develop more loving connections. My approach is rooted in acceptance, empathy, and genuineness.

I really admire people who come in for counseling. My goal is to help you build on that courage to find your own unique solutions. A lot of the pain we feel as people has to do with the state of our relationships. That's why I specialize in working with couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This well-researched model helps couples get free of repetitive negative patterns that hurt, and replace them with skills for building a deeply satisfying, trusting connection. I have used EFT to help many couples repair deeply damaged relationships and go on to thrive together.

In an ever-changing world, with so many hardships and challenges, I have dedicated my life to helping people make sense out of their struggles and find more peace. I believe in people and believe that in a safe and supportive environment, and with a skillful and responsible guide, people are capable of incredible work, leading to changes that enable more peace and joyful living. I believe that people develop maladaptive patterns of living and relating and that sometimes some simple changes in habits, thinking, growing and understanding, can lead to happier and healthier lives and relationships.

This loss reveals itself in many ways: Dissatisfaction in relationships, Questions about career/vocation, Feelings of depression/anxiety, eating too much or too little, Lack of confidence, Uncertainty about life choices, Physical/emotional weariness, Spiritual confusion and Disillusionment. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University and additional intensive Masters Study in Human Relationships. My undergrad degree is in Education with emphasis in health: body, mind and spirit.

It can be difficult to take steps towards inner reflection. With patience and persistence, you will cultivate greater confidence, self-esteem and emotional balance. I work with the resilience within you and believe you have the skills and inner reserves to assist you in overcoming obstacles in your life. My perspective on therapy is built on a foundation of collaboration, interaction, trust and observation. The passion in my life is being invited and accompanying my clients in this journey. My style is an eclectic approach which can include treatment using mindfulness, action based, narrative, and interpersonal therapy among others.

I specialize in families/couples, and I am an Idaho-licensed LMFT and Arizona-licensed LAMFT. Often clients seek therapy because they have become stuck.
