Therapists in Raleigh, NC

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in eating disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, women's issues, recovery from trauma or abuse, relationship issues and life transitions. My approach to therapy is collaborative, as I believe a solid therapeutic relationship is essential in helping you gain insight and thrive in your life. I work to bring acceptance and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. Therapy is individualized, and determined by each person's needs and goals. My aim is to support each person through their personal journey. I take a relational approach, as I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to facilitating and building change.

If you or your teenager can answer yes to ANY of these questions, let's schedule a time to meet conveniently online: Feeling hopeless or like things aren't going to get better? Having difficulty speaking up for yourself or communicating with others?Is it hard adjusting to change? Do you wish you had a clear plan towards reaching your goals? Do you deal with stress? Are you in an open, poly, or non-monogamous relationship (ENM)? Do you have negative thoughts or struggle with low self-esteem? Are you starting to use alcohol or drugs to cope with your problems and worried it may be getting out of control?

I value the innate wisdom of each individual as the guiding force of our work together. With extensive training in serving diverse populations, I work through a Health at Every Size lens and welcome clients from all racial and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and eating disorders and the intersection of attachment and sensory processing issues. I also work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, learning differences, issues impacting the LGBTQIA+ community, parenting and resolving shock trauma.

People seek counseling for a myriad of reasons. Regardless of what has led you to this path, I believe that the insights you gain through counseling can result in an increased understanding of yourself. Counseling is a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings and allows you the opportunity to develop and practice new ways of viewing yourself and others. I believe that no one person exists as an isolated individual. The work that occurs in counseling results in changes not only to yourself, but your relationships with others.

I am a licensed psychologist who has provided psychotherapy services to children, adolescents and adults dealing with a variety of concerns, including life stress, relationship issues, depression and anxiety. In therapy, I use a client-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral approach and work collaboratively with you to explore your thoughts and how they are impacting your feelings. Together, we establish treatment goals that are most relevant to your concerns.

I believe anyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can benefit from talk therapy. We all have “stuff” that can get in our way and therapy has been shown to help us cope and find solutions. I approach therapy through a systemic lens through which I consider your whole picture to find the most effective path to change. I use an array of treatment models to help clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, parenting, communication, processing loss, and family conflict. I can provide services for children 8 years and older, teens, adults, couples, and families.

My therapeutic approach is relational and integrative, grounded in creating safe spaces where you can fully embody your experiences and cultivate deeper connections within yourself. Through evidence-based strategies and a focus on somatic and holistic healing, I aim to help you achieve a harmonious state where your mind, body, and spirit can thrive.

If you are at a crossroads between who you've been (or been told to be), and who you long to become, I am here for you. My clients come to me because the old narratives they've been living by no longer fit, and it's time to write a new chapter marked by honesty, authenticity, and abundance. Together we explore concerns related to sexual and gender identity, religious or spiritual concerns, life transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, and more. My approach is laid back and collaborative, and designed to give you space to be heard, understood, and affirmed as we explore your unique needs and goals.

The difference between a successful person and one who isn’t can simply be a function of having a personalized treatment plan or blueprint. My focus is on you and what I can do to assist you, to get you to where you want to be in life. If you don’t have a life blueprint based on your unique goals, talents and desires, then you may be missing out on some of the blessing life may have in store for you. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you to uncover solutions, and pave the road to your happiness and dream fulfillment.

I believe when given the proper tools, insight and support, most of us can heal ourselves and thrive in our lives. Whether it’s navigating the teen years, college, parenting or marriage, I can help guide you through challenging times. I am committed to creating a positive, warm therapeutic experience while teaching you skills that empower you to feel more in control, balanced and successful in your life. I promote knowledge and awareness of feelings and behaviors, while increasing positive coping skills and self-esteem.

Yolanda Jones is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina who has 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents with attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder.

Thank you for taking the first step to create change and work toward your goals. I am passionate about supporting people to find balance to improve overall well-being. I believe well-being is not only about mental health but extends to physical, spiritual, and financial health since all life areas are weaved together. I believe every person has the abilities and power to live their best life. To quote Rumi“The wound is the place where the light enters you” has been a guiding quote to find new abilities and opportunities. Self-improvement requires "doing the work" and reaching out for counseling is the first step in "doing the work".

Has your anxiety taken over? You continually ask yourself “Why am I feeling this way?" "Have I made the right decision?" "Why can't I stop overthinking?" You consistently feel like you are all over the place mentally and emotionally. Constant comparisons are affecting your self esteem, leading you to wonder why others lives are going well & yours is NOT. Overwhelming feelings have you contemplating the worst case scenario rather than the more likely outcome? I can help you make sense of your negative thinking. Together, we can explore the cause of these thoughts and with guidance help you regain control of how you respond to them.

Whether you suffer from depression or anxiety, or are having trouble finding your way through a difficult situation, I can help you find new -- and more effective -- ways of coping. Using a non-judgmental approach, along with proven therapeutic techniques, I can provide a safe place for you to explore new ways of thinking and responding to challenges in your life. I have experience in crisis response from working in the Duke Hospital emergency department, as well as substance abuse training from working at RJ Blackley Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment center.

Here you are, in the frustrating position of scrolling through therapists online. You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no bullshit approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. I bring body scans, breathing exercises, movement, silence, listening and laughter to every session. Because if we aren't laughing, we're crying.

I often look at life as a roller coaster. It's filled with ups and downs, twists and turns. Some of the things that life throws our way we are not prepared for and have felt as though we have no one to turn to. In the past therapy was frowned upon and what happens in the family was suppose to stay in the family, but if healing has never taken place and we have not learned new ways of handling the twist and turns of life we tend to repeat generational patterns. We were not meant to live alone so why should we have to go through difficult situations alone? We shouldn't! Professional help is available so let's start healing.

I aspire to be a resource for individuals who are looking to propel themselves in using a shared space of mutual intellect, and honest discussions. I accept you as you are, and am thrilled to be a vessel for empathy and further understanding of yourself with support of your established goals. Empathy, non-bias perspectives, and reduction in stigma are ingredients in my recipe book for a client-centered approach in therapy. I would love to hear about you.
