She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work, a master’s degree in social work, and a certificate in interpersonal trauma studies. Yolanda believes in whole-person care that considers mind, body, and soul as interconnected aspects of well-being. Taking the first step to begin therapy can require courage, and she affirms the positive step represented by reaching out for support.
