With my clients, sessions feel like entering a safe space - not like going to the principal's office. I intentionally veer away from rigid, “textbook” methods to create a warm, conversational, and nonjudgmental session where clients can feel confident in being fully themselves. I value authenticity, collaboration, and emotional honesty, and meet clients where they are without pressure or labels. My goal is to help clients feel supported, understood, and empowered handling challenges independently.
Together we will navigate which practice(s) best fit your needs and how these skills can be applied to help meet your goals. I specialize in CBT, REBT, DBT and have extensive training in Animal Assisted Interventions, so four-legged friends may be included! I am also happy to incorporate religion or spirituality into sessions at client's discretion.
Ready to build your toolbox and strengthen confidence in how you tackle each day? Unsure of what your goals are, or where to even start? That is exactly what I am here for - not to give you the answers, but to help you uncover them for yourself with confidence. Reach out for a free consultation and begin your therapeutic journey.

Many of our challenges do not exist apart from one another. My goal is to help clients identify connections between their challenges and response patterns, and where these connections may need to be strengthened - or severed.

Like the challenges we face - the therapeutic approaches I use to address these challenges often overlap. I view therapy as creating your own personal "Life Skills Tackle Box." You will have different bait, hooks, and reels (skills, language, actions) - but it is learning when and how to use them, that will make them the most helpful.

Groups

Parent Psych-Ed, Skills & Support Group

Hosted by
Nina Elissa Yovane

This group was created for parents of children with neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD, GAD) that can often leave us feeling isolated and exhausted. Together we will cover evidence-based strategies that can be used at home while connecting with other parents navigating similar experiences. Parents will receive psychoeducation tailored from Cornell's Therapeutic Crisis Intervention Model that covers emotional regulation strategies, communication & connection skills, executive functioning, supports, and practical parenting tools that can be used right away. Join as a drop-in, or weekly, and build connections with others who simply "get" where you're coming from.
