I bring evidence-based knowledge to my therapy coupled with personal experience. I believe you will feel comfortable and not judged at all when working with me.

My goal in counseling is to meet individuals where they are and assist them on their journey to emotional wellness. I am light-hearted, yet direct. I am supportive and seek to always encourage them in finding their strength. I believe active listening and rephrasing are key to ensuring that I as the therapist hear each client. So I frequently seek to confirm what is being said.

My approach to therapy is down-to-earth, practical, and solution-oriented. As a clinical psychologist I have extensive training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and have seen many clients improve using these techniques. I have helped people overcome their problems in a variety of settings including hospitals, university counseling centers, community health clinics, and schools.

I am a doctoral level, licensed clinical psychologist. My clinical practice, located in Norfolk, Virginia. My expertise is in the areas of psychological evaluations and therapeutic techniques. For psychological evaluations, I utilize various testing measures to assess the specific mental health area(s) required for individual clients. This can include assessment for IQ, psychoticism, trauma, ADHD, mood disorders, personality, memory, achievement, adaptive functioning, etc. All testing is followed by a professional, diagnostic report. For therapy, I conduct individual therapy only. I see adults of any age and children over the age of ten. However, when a child is the client, parents will be included in occasional sessions to ensure that the therapeutic practices are generalized to the home environment. My therapeutic specialties include all mood disorders, at-risk youth and psychoticism. I am a Christian and welcome the opportunity to discuss spiritual matters with my clients. However, this is based only on the comfort level of the client.

I have been working in the helping field related to counseling for almost 20 years. In that time I have learned that the best way to help others is to be an excellent listener, to be compassionate, empathetic, and to collaborate with individuals to assist them in gaining the tools that they need to make positive change in their lives. I work hard to encourage clients that the strength for change lies within them and my job is to help them find it. I utilize a great deal of mindfulness based techniques and believe that learning the process of becoming more mindful in life can be extremely beneficial to problem solving and learning to sit with discomfort. As a counselor I do not believe that I have all of the answers or can fix anyone, however, I do believe that if the client is willing to do the work to create change in their life that I can assist them in doing so successfully. Ultimately, my goal for the counseling relationship is to assist clients in managing stress more effectively and learning skills that can be used well after the counseling relationship has terminated, in a straightforward and honest approach.

I work very hard to create a warm and welcoming environment with clients to make sure that we're working together on goals and that there is space for the client to work on the things they identify as successful and challenging.

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to supporting individuals (adults and teenagers) through life's challenges. My approach is grounded in empathy, trust, and collaboration.

As Yasmeen, with sanctYOUary, my approach to healing is rooted in a deep understanding of each individual as a whole person within their environment and natural supports. With nine years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker across outpatient therapy, residential settings, and crisis stabilization, I bring a wealth of expertise to our sessions. My journey in mental health and substance abuse began with a recognition of how minorities are often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. This fuels my commitment to providing culturally sensitive and inclusive care. At the heart of my therapeutic philosophy is the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives, possessing the innate ability to improve their circumstances. My role is to provide a supportive space where clients can explore their strengths, challenges, and aspirations. I integrate various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive and behavioral restructuring, crisis intervention, and holistic practices such as yoga. By addressing mental, emotional, and physical well-being, we work towards holistic healing and growth. Through collaborative exploration and empowerment, I guide clients toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment. Together, we embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, honoring each individual's unique path toward healing.

I strive to provide a safe and calm environment where my clients feel heard and supported as we navigate the complexities of life and work together to achieve their goals.
