Yale Teen POWER is a research clinic that does treatment studies to develop and test new behavioral therapies. We work with teens (11-17 years old) who have concerns about eating and weight, such as those who are engaging in binge eating and those who have been bullied because of weight.

I work with individuals who may be feeling “stuck”, but are ambitious, proactive, and motivated to make changes in their lives so they are living life joyfully and at peace. I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you gain the clarity you need to understand how your past may have contributed to current challenges, behaviors, emotions, beliefs, relationships; and also shaped you into the unique person you are today. Insight is the first step in empowering you with the skills to make necessary changes to improve your health and how you live your life. It is about showing up for yourself.

I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.

Accepting New Clients! Perhaps you are experiencing more anxiety or depression and just want to feel better.

I can also help guide you through life transitions and processing trauma and grief. I will listen to your specific situation and tailor my approach and recommendations to meet your needs.

Accepting New Clients. I am here to offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your inner world, gain insight into your thoughts and emotions, and develop the tools you need to thrive. My approach is rooted in respect, acceptance, and unconditional positive regard for each individual I work with. I use proven therapeutic tools such as CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Parts Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a strength's based approach.

I’m a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) and specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, executive functioning deficits and ADHD. I bring my knowledge and expertise from working in public school systems as a psychologist and behaviorist for almost a decade. I also bring my experience of being a mother to two children (one neurotypical and one neurodiverse).

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who provides therapy for adults and adolescents. I help many different types of people with many different types of problems. But, for most people, my overarching goal is to help them learn to live life as authentically as possible. We all learned strategies for coping with pain when we were younger, and even classic psychological "problems" are typically rooted in doing the best we can to cope with struggles. But these strategies (eg worrying, perfectionism, avoidance, numbness, 'toughness,') can also keep us from getting what we want as we get older, and don't allow our true self to flourish.

In a world of so much uncertainty, challenges, and confusion it is easy to develop ways of dealing with life that lead to unwanted destinations. However, there is bravery in seeking a new path and asking for help from a professional to do so. Allow Yarbrough and Associates to be a guide on your journey to Healing Forward. Healing Forward suggests a state of not only returning to your status quo but beginning to execute a path to lifelong wellness and resilience.

I will tailor interventions to your unique needs and together we can dissect root causes, identify patterns, and work towards meaningful changes. Together, we can navigate towards clarity, calm, and joy.

I see the therapeutic relationship as the most valuable tool for your growth. Working together we will identify what you need to live a purposeful life and have the relationships you seek.

Therapy is meant to be a completely individual experience and I treat it as such with compassion and cultural humility. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing personalized coping skills which foster resilience for challenging life transitions while also helping you to discover your purpose in life. I offer compassionate listening as we work together to find comfort and resolve in the difficult areas of your life, relationships and the challenges you are facing.

Do you or someone you care about struggle with past traumas, emotional issues, or overwhelming stress? I'm here to support adolescents, teenagers, and adults through challenging experiences. In our work together, I'll focus on the present moments while enhancing mood regulation. I specialize in addressing a wide range of concerns, including trauma, behavioral issues, and grief.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has experience working with children, adolescents and adults. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, life changes and transitions, and self-exploration. When working with children, I incorporate play therapy to encourage expression, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help guide the connection of their thoughts, emotions, and behavior as well as strengthen coping skills. When working with teens and adults, I use interpersonal and psychodynamic therapy as well as CBT to help clients better understand themselves.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to use a positive psychology to bring insights and empowerment to my clients. Over the past 20 years, I have used Cognitive Behavioral techniques, a Person Centered approach and a warm style of coaching, to support individuals who struggle with mental and emotional difficulties. As a seasoned therapist and trained in EMDR for Trauma, I work with those who have Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Stress & Anger Management issues and a host of other life struggles. The focus in therapy is to move towards a more stable, healthy and progressive way of living.

Stressors related to work, relationships, medical conditions and other key areas of life occur every single day, and sometimes they may become overwhelming and out of control. Most of the time, we are able to help ourselves out of these types of situations, but there are times when it is too challenging to handle alone. When that happens, we often find ourselves stuck and unable to react, or continue to use solutions that may not be the best for us. It can be very draining and demotivating, and spiraling out of control. We sometimes want someone to find a solution for us, while at other times, we just want someone to listen to us.

The experience of trauma and loss changes your entire world view. Tomorrow no longer seems promised or predictable. The past is no longer just the past; at times, the past feels like the present. The fragility of life and closeness of death is now undeniable. What seemed important to you has changed entirely. Meanwhile, others around you are focused on things that seem petty and material, as they plan for a future they assume is certain. As a result, connecting with others becomes difficult and you can find yourself alone. You can feel like you are an alien on the planet you used to call home.

I received a Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and received my LCSW. I have experience working with individuals and groups, and has worked in a variety of treatment settings including outpatient counseling, residential treatment facilities, and schools. I have a passion for helping clients who struggle with disordered eating, trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders through a variety of treatment modalities.
