Iris Yankelevich, Clinical Director of YES Psychotherapy Services and her team work with individuals, families and couples as well as children and adolescents, we are also dealing with a large spectrum of emotional issues: depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, relationship issues, stress at work, self-esteem, career related issues and others.

I start with listening and seek to cultivate a perspective that enlivens, enlightens and unburdens. I use an integrative psychoanalytic approach founded in curiosity and collaboration to address problems relating to trauma, depression, anxiety or self-esteem that can undermine ones ability to thrive interpersonally, creatively, sexually or professionally. Whether it's a life-change, a search for meaning, creative blocks, frustration with the quality of relationships or something else, I will meet you there. Through listening and talking, we will explore internal experience and how it impacts relating to oneself and others.

What do you want right now? Are you searching for something that keeps slipping away? Are you feeling stuck, sad, anxious or scared? Psychotherapy can help you discover what you may not see about yourself and your behavior. In my practice I work with people who are seeking change, self-understanding and greater fulfillment in their lives. Psychotherapy can be instrumental to help you establish better relationships, process conflict and deal with questions of self-worth. With warmth and dedicated attention I strive to be respectful, open and curious. I create a space where people can explore their internal world and speak freely.

I take a creative approach to my client's needs by combining traditional talk therapy with mindfulness & body based treatment modalities and techniques, including Somatic Experiencing, attachment focused EMDR and Inner Relationship Focusing (IFR). I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals with issues related to anxiety, eating disorders, trauma (developmental, medical and shock), panic, depression, and relationship issues. Through our work together my clients will come to feel more understood, more comfortable and more confident in their lives.

Anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, and depression are issues that often leave people feeling hopeless. These emotional states take a heavy toll on our relationships with our families and our partners. Understanding the body's response to stress is a helpful step in combating anxiety and depression. I help clients to feel more in control of their anxiety by teaching them mindfulness and stress management techniques. Through our work together, you'll learn stress management techniques and build your self esteem so that you can feel more in control of your life. .

My practice centers on helping people live everyday more fully. Daily pressures to manage work, relationships, and ourselves often leave us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Some people express these feelings through anxiety or persistent self-critical thoughts. Others may feel discouraged, guilty, ashamed or sad. Many use substances, food, risky behavior or other distractions to momentarily feel better. Psychotherapy can help resolve these issues by creating a space to gain better coping strategies, enhance your focus of your place in the world, and develop greater resiliency.

Being human is difficult. It can come with painful and traumatizing experiences -- particularly as we live in a society that is imbued with isms, poverty, and uncertainty about the future. We can experience deep sadness, loneliness and worries. And even so, there is something in us that wants to find hope and long-lasting joy, and live a life that's rich, meaningful, and filled with connection and belongingness.

I'm Megan Richardson, LMHC. My approach to therapy is solution focused and evidence based. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them rediscover their strength and resiliency. Areas of focus include helping adults navigate life transitions, relationship conflict, stress management, low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. I work with adults but have and will see older teenagers. I support individuals, couples, and families experiencing a transition (which include attending college), emotion dysregulation, difficulty coping with stress, anxiety and/or depression.

Therapy is a powerful tool for reflection and change. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, my approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sometimes we become stuck in painful or unsatisfying ways of being and need a safe space to learn about ourselves, heal, and grow. Issues I commonly work with include behavioral concerns, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with clients to understand the impact of past experiences on the present, but also focus on the here-and-now in session and incorporate breathing and meditation practices to cope with everyday stress.

Therapy can be a difficult step, and even more difficult to find a therapist you connect with. I work to develop a therapeutic relationship in which realizations can occur and positive changes can be made. I have experience with both group and individuals, and the intention is always to help enhance the client's current level of functioning and overall condition. My areas of expertise include behavioral issues, childhood trauma, insecure attachments, familial issues, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety.

My practice is inspired by my belief that all people deserve to live fulfilling, safe, and pleasurable lives. I work in collaboration with my clients, helping them to achieve whatever contentment looks like for them from a down-to-earth and light-hearted stance of humility, non-judgment, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will make space for your feelings (even the most rejected ones), search beyond stigmatizing labels to pinpoint root causes of symptoms, create a plan for achieving your goals, and develop skills for you to cope with the present. I welcome clients questioning their identities or seeking to heal old wounds.

Searching for a therapist can feel discouraging at times and raise endless questions. What exactly am I looking for? Will I feel understood? Would I even benefit from therapy? I believe that once you find the right fit, the transformative nature of the therapy relationship can help you find your voice and a true sense of direction. I approach therapy from a place of humor, curiosity and an honest desire to help you uncover those places where you feel most stuck in order to build the life that you want.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in relationships, couples therapy, and trauma.

Do you feel like everyone has it together but you? Are you overly critical of what you see in the mirror or scared of how others perceive you? Do you live to please everyone but yourself? Being in a state of constant inner turmoil and insecurity is not just exhausting - it can spill into your physical health, your relationships, and turn simple conversations into unnecessary sources of stress. I promise, no matter what you're going through right now, there is a way out of the pain. My hope is that after our sessions, you'll feel more grounded, better able to cope with everyday stressors, and see yourself in a more positive light.
