Jody Yeh-Shinbrood

Jody Yeh-Shinbrood is a licensed clinical social worker authorized to practice in both North Dakota and Illinois. With more than 18 years of experience, she supports individuals and families managing a wide range of concerns, including stress and anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy-related concerns, anger management, career struggles, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

She has particular experience working with families of children with special needs and has worked in medical settings alongside individuals and families facing major medical crises. Jody approaches therapy with the belief that people already possess strengths and capacities to overcome obstacles and to pursue a fuller, more satisfying life.

In sessions she provides a warm, respectful, and attentive environment where clients can explore their feelings, needs, and goals. Her work focuses on validating the client experience while offering practical, research-informed methods to meet life objectives. Jody uses motivational interviewing, symptom-targeted intervention (STI), and solution-focused brief therapy to help clients identify priorities, build on strengths, and develop skills that allow them to resolve problems and rely less on ongoing therapy over time.

Jody looks forward to collaborating with individuals and families who are ready to set their own goals, discover their core values, and work toward meaningful change.
